Hi Charles! First of all, thanks a lot for your quickly reply!

Hi, we have Linux 7.2 installed on Compaq ML530 rack mounted setup . There are two RA4100 controllers plugged onto the RAID box in active/standby mode. But we notice that if one of the cards (say active) is jacked out a message stating implicit logout of RA controller port (id) is displayed . That means the cpqfc driver is able to detect the event but it still allows us to write onto the RAID. Once the system is rebooted , the file we wrote disappears. Does it mean that the standby controller could not take over on plugging out the active one ? To our surprise , it even lets us access (write) the RAID if both the controllers are plugged out from the RAID box or from the Fiber channel HUB (HBA end) ! From this it seems that the data actually is written somewhere between the driver and the HBA (RA4100 controller posted write caching does not come into the picture as both the controllers are disconnected throughout) . Please help us . TIA manimay ... |

Is there a way to get the kernel to recognize a new logical drive without rebooting? My System is a ML370 with Integrated Smart Array Controller and RedHat Linux. I added some disks and built a new logical drive. Now I want to add this drive to a LVM logical volume and then extend the reiserfs on top of that. My problem is, that i can't access the new logical drive (should be /dev/ida/c0d3) with fdisk or an other tool. Do I have to reset the cpqarray kernel module (if yes how do I do that). -- --------------------------------------------------------------------------- DI Bernhard F.W.

I'm not running any agents or other utilities, just the driver included
with kernel 2.4.7. Here is my hardware config, let me know if you need
anything further:
ProLiant 2500
768 megs RAM
Smart 2/P controller with 4 megs of cache
Onboard 53c875 scsi with 15/30 DLT
5x 9.1 gig 1" drives
Thanks

Dave,
Are you running the Compaq Management agents? We have seen this problem in
an earlier release of the Storage Agents but it was fixed and released in
the 5.10 release of the agents. I have included the latest version of the
Storage Agents but if you upgrade the Storage components you will also need
to upgrade the other Management components. I have included the latest
version of Agents.
If you are not running the Storage Agents please forward your configuration
information for further analysis.
Regards,
fred harris

Ok... to try to answer your questions:=20 1) Is it possible to add another disk to the RAID and grow the /home partition accordingly without losing the data on the /home partition=20 there are two problems with that... 1) the disk geometry is stored in the partition table, and this is where Linux looks first to = get the disk geometry. So even if increased your disk size, Linux would not = see the new disk size. 2) I don't believe ext2 can handle the disk = geometry changing...=20 2) RAID Migration... (moving from one RAID level to a higher one)=20 Yes, this is supported under Linux, because it is all done on Firmware = and when you are done the logical volume has the exact same size and = geometry as before... Linux is unaware that it is hardware RAID.=20 3) ReiserFS I have not tried growing a ReiserFS, but I have an e-mail into SuSE = asking about that... I'll let you know if I hear anything back.=20 4) One logical volume or Many..=20 First, because of the way ext2 is designed it is better to have several = file systems instead of just one. Now the question is: to do one logical volume with many partitions, or Many local volumes with one partition. Because this is hardware raid, I don't think it really matters. The = data with be stripped across all possible drives either way. =20 -----Original Message----- From: Bernhard Gschaider [mailto:Ber...@un...] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 8:35 AM To: cpq...@op... Subject: [Cpqarray-discuss] Adding Disks to a logical Drive Maybe this has been discussed on this mailing list, but I can't access the archive of this list (seems like the link is broken) We're planing to use a ProLiant ML370 with an integrated Smart Array Controller under RedHat 7.1. I've done a test installation that is working fine. I've got three 18 GB Disks and I've organized them into two logical drives: - one disk on its own - two disks as a RAID-0 On the single disk I've installed / , /usr , swap and other partitions that won't need more space in the forseeable future. The other logical disk is a single partition (/home). As my users are using lots of space this will have to grow. My questions are: - Is it possible to add another disk to the RAID and grow the /home partition accordingly without losing the data on the /home partition (according to the documentation this is only possible with WinNT and OS2)? - Same as above: Switching to RAID-5 - Similar question: adding a disk to the first virtual drive and switching to RAID-1 Other questions are: - Is ReiserFS better suited for the /home partition (right now I'm using ext2, but the server isn't in use for the next week, so I could easily change that) expecially with respect to partition resizing - Is it better to organize all the phyical disks into one logical drive and put /, /usr, /home etc on that huge drive Sorry for that awful lot of questions.

There is no way to configure the array under linux currently, but you don't have to install NT either. You can boot your Smart Smart CD that came with your system or the array controller and run the ACU (Array Configuration Utility) straight off the CD. -----Original Message----- From: br...@te...

Brian, The Array Configuration solution for Linux is to use the ACU, Array Configuration Utility, which resides on the SmartStart CD. Since the logical volumes have been wiped out, you will have to create the volumes using the off-line solution before installing the OS. Hope this helps, fred -----Original Message----- From: br...@te... [mailto:br...@te...] Sent: Thursday, June 21, 2001 10:10 AM To: cpq...@op... Cc: br...@me...
