Insalling RHEL3 on a DELL Poweredge 2450

0perat0r · 06-16-2006, 08:11 PM

I just got a hold of a DELL Poweredge 2450 and I'd like to know about how to install Red Hat EL3 on the system, specifically, configuring a RAID, which I've only ever done on Windows machines. I have all of the original software. Any help is appreciated, thanks.

Fortunately RAID is quite easy in RHEL and very good. I would like some more info though such as which RAID and your current drive configuration/info. Do you want RAID 0, 1, etc..

I'm looking at putting a two RAID 1 config on 4 drives. In onther words, I have 2 9GB and 2 70GB drives. I want 1 RAID 1 on the 2 9 gig and one RAID 1 on the 2 70 gig. That's how I have the containers configured, having already done so in the harware config. If I try to install the OS with the RAID configured, will RH recognize it?
