can see any device under volume manager

[yigal@hadera.muni.il]

hi

i installed open-e on a server with raid 5 hardware controller.

in the beggining i didnt managed to make new volume and i got the msg

""this unit can only by added as dynamic volume", so i erased all partitions and tried to make fresh install again and now open-e dont see any device under the volume manager

i do see the hard-disks in the hardware raid controller setup and in installation of open-e ,

but cant see them in the volume manager group therefor cant create any volume

pls advise

thanks

Have you created unit in RAID controller setup?

[yigal@hadera.muni.il]

no, i had hardware raid controller setup in the bios.

do i need to do that? if yes then how?
(it dont let me to create raid as the boxes are grayed out)

thanks

For instructions on how to do that please refer to your RAID controller manual, as every manufacturer's devices have slightly different procedure

[yigal@hadera.muni.il]

the server already configured with raid 5 array.

do i need to do any settings in open-e as well?

No extra settings in DSS to see the array....


did you install the DSS to the same RAID5 array ?
