Do you think it is time now to configure the > volumes or is there something else needs to be done before that? If the array has been set up as RAID 5 then just go ahead and install FreeBSD on it. I run a lot of machines like this, including a couple of DL380's, and my home machine which has a COmpaq 5304 card plugged into an MSI amd64 motherboard quite happily. I usually try and istall a small Windows2000 partition on the machine as well though, so that I can run the Compaq ACU code to manage the array. It can be done from the BIOS, but there are a lot more features in the actual application. -pcf.
