Infrastructure Software

You shouldn't need to disable the RAID controller, just add the P400 drivers to the miniroot during an interactive installation. Get the "Driver Update for Solaris 10 x86" from the link below.

http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/1123_6214.html

Then, during installation, when you're presented with the options "interactive install, custom jumpstart, etc." select the option to install additional drivers.

While you're on the above page, get the NIC drivers, too, and install them at the same time.

Thanks I am able to run solaris now.

But the hardware RAID presents only one logical drive to the OS.
I want OS to see all the 6 disks so that i can configure software RAIDZ
on them.

Unix is mounting all drives to the same file system. Unlike Windows, that is mounting every drive on seperate file systems.

What RAID mode did you select? Maybe there is available all space from these disk drives on the main file system? If it is not so, it could be because of RAID configuration.

The RAID controller is combining all the 6 disks and creating one logical unit of 349GB which is seen by Solaris OS.

I want to configure RAID in such a way that Solaris sees all the 6 disks(72GBx6) separately.

on the system post on power up, you should see ORCA banner select F8
you should also make sure you have the latest firmware loaded as well
HP Smart Array verify which one you have http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bc/docs/support/SupportManual/c00572169/c00572169.pdf ?

I have the same problem only with HP ML350 G5 Server,
And the smare array controller E/200,

When i choose 5 apply driver updates the driver is extracted in the miniroot with no problems,
but when the installation of sloaris 10 begin, it shows the following message:
No disks found, make sure disks are powered up and capled,
please help.
