I'm trying to install Ubuntu 8.04 Server on an HP Proliant DL160 G6. The HP hardware is certified by Ubuntu for the 9.04 version, which I can't install due to company policy.

The problem is that Ubuntu would not recognize the RAID 1+0 disk configured by the BIOS. The raid creates one ~470GB disk from two 500GB physical disks.

Any ideas?

Add path to your php install on the end (make sure to precede with semi-colon ';'). Apache windows Mine was ';G: Apache php' f.

Ubuntu doesn't see the hardware raid because it probably doesn't have a kernel driver for the raid card. You need to find the exact make/model of the raid card (you can usually see this flash by during early boot up, before grub takes over) and see if you can get a kernel module our source for the driver.

We gave up, and chose Ubuntu's software RAID instead of HardwareBIOS Raid, which works fine - but still, A hardware solution would be nice for the rest of the world.

By the way, in order to make the network interfaces work we had to download and install new kernels from the Ubuntu kernel repository.

Our HP Proliant ML150 is configured as RAID in the BIOS, and created a 'Logical drive' (using two 250GB HD) as RAID 1+0.

The procedure seems to be Ok.

However, when installing the OS (Ubuntu 10.10) the partitioner utility still shows our two HD

I was expecting to see only one drive, since the two HD are RAIDed.

Is there a special step missing (checked again at boot, the RAID logical drive is still alive)?

edit It seems Ubuntu does not recognize the logical RAID drive.

edit2 RAID 1+0 is possible with two disks. See this Wikipedia page.

Either get a hardware RAID controller like a SmartArray P4xx or use software RAID. SW RAID works well on Linux - much better than Windows - so you may not need HW RAID.

The main advantage of HW RAID is battery backup which gives you a fairly good chance of surviving a power outage without corrupting your disk. You might find it worth your while to get a HW RAID controller for this reason.

Ubuntu doesn't recognise the RAID logical drive created by the BIOS.
And no driver is available.

So our choices are down to

  • install another OS
  • use the software based RAID

It is impossible to implement fully functional RAID 0+1 using only 2 hard drives (refer to the RAID guides, for example here http://www.bjorn3d.com/read.php?cID=886). It is pointless to use RAID 0 without getting any advantage in speed and capacity, also using RAID 0 is no option for the server, because if one disk fails - you loose all the data you have. So there is few options:

  1. To buy 2 more HDDs, similar to theones you already have and buildnormal RAID 1+0
  2. Just not to use RAID
  3. Use software RAID (read more here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/Installation/SoftwareRAID)
