search for: 4lpml

Greetings, I am looking for a hardware raid card that supports up to 4 SATA II hard disks with hot swap (compatible raid cage) I have short listed two LSI/3Ware cards: 1. 9750-4i 2. 9650SE-4LPML Both appear to be well supported in Linux. I would appreciate your personal experience with the CLI tools provided by LSI. Can they be configured to send email for disk failures or SMART errors? Is there a Web interface for monitoring? Any preference between 1 and 2 above. Thanks for your time...

hi. I am having some problems installing CentOS 5.2 x86_64 onto a Supermicro 6015V-T with Intel 5000V chipset and ESB2 controller using SATA drives. Currently I am running CentOS 4.7 i386 and it sees both drives but when I boot into the CentOS 5 install CD it fails to see the drives. Does anybody have any tips for getting the drives visible? Kind regards, Dougal
