[SOz92 0]

Hi everyone here,

I have the Microserver about 1 year ago, but today im interested in do a RAID5 with 4x3TB, at the moment i have the moded BIOS, but when I enter in the ROM Utility to do the RAID, there's no option for the RAID5, I dont know if i need to update something or what I have to do...

Someone can help me?

 

 

Thanks

RAID5 is not supported by the motherboard RAID.

If you want RAID5 you would need to add a RAID controller.

or if you can create a software raid.

Hi all, I have the exact same problem.

 

Could you link me which RAID controller I should buy, and possibly a tutorial?

Any help would be appreciated

What operating system are you using? How many drives do you have? What useable capacity do you need? Have you looked at Drive Pool?

I'm running Ubuntu, but I'd like to do an hardware RAID with 4 3TB Hark Disks

HP RAID controllers work well in MicroServers. P212 and P410 with memory will support RAID5, but SATA runs at 3Gb/s. P212 and P420 run SATA 6Gb/s, but they are more expensive. You will need to check on driver support.

In other topics I found some info about the P410 and the P410i

Could you confirm me this would be what I'm looking for?

That will not work, it is a P410i, It is designed for blade servers. You would need a P410.
