Hi everyone.

 

I am trying to get unRAID 4.3 to run on a HP Proliant ML350 but I can't get the drives to show.

 

I have the 3 SCSI drives that are in the system connected to the Motherboard SCSI controller instead of the HP SmartArray controller card but I don't see the drives. The BIOS does not offer many options.

 

Attached is the syslog

 

SCSI setup:

 

0 drive

1 drive

2 drive

7 HP SmartArray controller

 

Does anyone have any suggestions? Do I need a driver for the HP motherboard? I have tried having the drives connected to the SmartArray and setup each drive as its own array (RAID 0) but that didn't work either.

The drives need to be configured in the bios to appear as a bunch of individual disks, NOT as a RAID array.

 

unRAID does not use any drivers other than what itself supplies, so you do not need to add any, although if you are advanced enough to compile your own OS, you can include any driver that Linux supports.

 

The big question is if your motherboard's chipset is supported by the drivers in unRAID.  If your motherboard uses a scsi controller the disks on it may not be recognized by unRAID's management utility even if the OS sees them.  (Normally, it recognizes only IDE and SATA devices).  I don't think it has any native scsi drivers built in.

 

Your syslog seems to show that only one of your disks was recognized, just as you described...  The others were not.  See if there is an IDE emulation mode for your scsi disks... that might help.  (I've never seen your BIOS, so who knows)
