Help with PER610

[Robert von Bismarck]

Hello,
 
I can confirm that the H200 controllers are recognized just fine by RHEL 5.4 (CentOS 5.4 in reality). So CentOS 5.5 should be fine as well.
The only issue in 5.4 is that omreport complains about the minimum driver version of the mpt2sas driver, an updated DKMS module is available on the Dell website that fixes this issue. I don't know if that's been fixed in 5.5 baseline or if you still need that module.
 
Kind regards,

	Hi Diego,
	
	Can't say anything solid on Centos 5.5 as we haven't installed it yet on any of our servers which has a Hx00 raid controller, yet I think it will do fine as it usually has about the same support as RHEL which does support the Hx00 raid controllers.
	
	Other option you also have, is simply find out which drivers the H200 uses in squeeze, and load those in Debian 5.0.5, same what you would do for those broadcom NIC's
	

	Best regards,

		Hello,
		
		Thanks a lot for your answer. It's indeed a H200. I don't think is the 
		better decision to put an squeeze in a production environment. So I'm 
		switching to Centos 5.5.

			Hi Diego,
			
			What RAID Controller are you using? Does it happen to be a H200 or 
			H700? or is it the SAS PERC6 iR?
			
			Debian has known problems with the Hx00 serie, the drivers for these 
			raid controllers are integrated in the new Debian Squeeze, yet 
			unfortunately not in 5.0.5 yet. Never had any problems installing a 
			PERC6 with Debian.
			
			Hope this helps,

				Hello,
				
				I'm trying to install lenny on a Poweredge R610. I'm using lenny 5.0.5 
				amd64 without any success. The installer could detect the network 
				interfaces when I put the bnx2 firmware in a USB stick. But the 
				installer can't detect any disk. I have configured a RAID 1 array with 
				two 136Gb. My BIOS version is 2.1.9. Can you help me please? Apart of 
				that I have to install Xen on the machine. Someone has had a good 
				exprience doing that?
				
				Best regards,
