Do I need to configure the ServeRAID ? What's you mean ? You need to configure the ServeRaid on the boot of the server. Some time (15 sec) after the server boot you need to enter i_don_t_remenber_what_key (but it's on the screen) to create the raid volume using the ServeRaid-Bios (not the server BIOS). > I'm using a IBM X3550 with two SAS disks with ServeRaid and don't have any problem. Be careful if you raid volume is very big fdisk cannot make the partition.
