There are three hard drives.How do I configure RAID 1 on this type of server.Will RAID already be configured so that it will look like one hard drive while installing CentOS, or should Imanually create RAID while partitioning?If I partition like that, will I do RAID 1 using 2 disks, then what about hard disk 3? How to use further fortaking backup's in that HDD?centos raid hp proliant smartarrayshare | improve this questionedited Mar 14 at 22:21 asked Mar 14 at 17:35Ouch, good luck with that. You're in pretty bad shape - see the answer here for the ugly details about thatmodel of server. HopelessN00b Mar 14 at 17:475This server uses a binary RAID driver, so you may need to use a driver disk to install CentOS on thesystem if you want hardware RAID. Otherwise the disks will not be recognized by the installer. You canalso use software RAID.Red Hat explains this in the following article: https://access.redhat.com/site/articles/118133This mode requires a closed source driver that is not shipped or supported by Red Hat. In order to installRHEL on these systems without the closed source driver and RAID support, the Software RAID modemust either be disabled (B320i controller) or switched to SATA AHCI support mode (B120i SATAcontroller).For systems with the B320i SAS controller:1. Boot the server into System Options2. Navigate to HP Smart Array B320i Raid Configuration3. Change to DISABLEDThis is also documented here: HP DL380e Linux not seeing drive array for installationshare | improve this answerCentOS 6.5 with HP ProLiant DL360e Gen8add a comment
