CentOS - Add additional hard drive raid arrays on Dell Perc 5/i card
- by Quanano
We have a Dell Poweredge 2900 system with Dell Perc 5/i card and 4 SAS hard drives attached, with NTFS partitions on them. We installed CentOS on one raid array on this controller with a different controller and it is working fine.
We are now trying to access the drives shown above and they are not being shown in /dev as sdb, etc.
sda is the drive that we installed centos on and it has sda1, sda2, sda3, etc. The CDROM has been picked up as well.
If I scan for scsi devices then the perc and adaptec controllers are both found. sg0 is the CDROM and sg2 is the centos installed, however I think sg1 is the other drive but I cannot see anyway to mount the partitions, as only the drive is listed in /dev.
Thanks.

These are all from the install hdd not the additional hard drives

i.e. the 3 RAID Arrays Seagate Hitatchi and Fujitsu hard drives respectively.
FURTHER UPDATE
I have installed the megaraid storage manager console and connected to the server.
It appears that the two CentOS installation hard drives are OK. The other 6 drives, one raid array of 4 and one raid array of 2 disks. The other drives are listed as (Foreign) Unconfigured Good.
