Get a glimpse of it on the paper. Remember to configure RAID0 for IBM X3650 M3 and install EXSi5

For a person who first came into contact with IBM servers, it may be a bit difficult. The previous week, because a hard disk on the IBM server was broken, I found that the problem of converting 5300-to was reported for the X Series servers, you need to provide the four-digit MT code and seven-digit SN on the server) and find the agent. After two days of hard drive repair. So I thought it was okay to plug in the hard disk. If you don't care about that, you can directly return to the company from the IDC. After going back, I found that the server still cannot be connected, but the Fixed hard disk server indicator is working properly. I am very depressed.

So I asked the manager, saying that RAID0 was the last one, and that's my shame. I thought RAID1 was complete. After half a day, it was RAID0, and now the requirement is still RAID0. well, I did not engage in IBM servers. What can we do? Fortunately, we had experience with the DELL R410 server last time.

You cannot directly install the operating system on DELL R410, especially for Windows systems. Instead, you must use the corresponding official boot disk and pay attention to the supported system types. So this time I want to install the system on the IBM server, I naturally think that there will be such a problem. I searched for information online and said I needed to use ServerGuide. So I went to the official website to download x86_64 of 8.41.

I went there the next day, but I was not at ease. So I consulted the IBM agent. After explaining the situation, he told me that you can access IBM's WebBIOS. Well, this is different from ServerGuide. No way, with the burned ServerGuide and the WebBIOS operation manual sent by the agent on the road. Hope everything goes well.

In the IDC room, the connection to the server is still blind. If you do not see the WebBIOS interface described by the agent, you cannot perform operations as he says, I tried F1, F2, and F12 at the startup, but still did not find the interface for configuring RAID. So I took out the server guide disc I burned last night and introduced it to me. This boot disc contains a page for configuring RAID. It is found that the boot disc loading process is a screen loaded during Windows system installation. I feel that the boot disc is only suitable for Windows operating systems, and it will remain unchanged on the loading system interface. No way. In a hurry, the leaders are urging you. Fortunately, I brought my notebook and asked how to enter WebBIOS. Finally, I am willing to help myself. In addition to a small accident, When configuring RAID0, I forgot to click add to SPAN in the previous step. I was so depressed that I couldn't select the hard disk size of RAID0. Then I returned and solved the problem, well, we can only say that E is still a little dish.

In addition, the Ctrl + H in the online and WebBIOS operation manual entered the WebBIOS. I have never seen this prompt during the boot process, and it is very depressing.

WebBIOS operation manual ,:

Http://pan.baidu.com/share/link? Consumer id = 707382467 & uk = 402853525

Go to the topic. The following describes how to enter the WebBIOS interface and how to set RAID0.

1. boot, Press F1 to enter BIOS

2. Select system setting

4. Select the PCI Driver settings under the lsi efi sas Driver.

5. Press 1 for EFI webBIOS provides two methods for BIOS management: WEB and command line. We select the web method
6. Click start.

8. There are three options in new configuration: clear configuration, new configuration, and add configuration. We select new configuration to clear the old one first and then create a new one.

9. Select Manual configuration and Redundancy when possible

10. Select a disk and Add to Array-> Accept DG-> next; (Note that if the disk is JBOD, change it to Make Unconf Good !!!! This step is required; otherwise, the disk cannot be selected later !!!)

11. Add to SPAN-> next

I made a mistake here. I didn't select "add to SPAN" to cause the following results.

12. enter the raid0 option. Here, you only need to enter a select size (set the available space of raid0 in upper case). According to the green font prompt on the right, there will be available space for the current disk, therefore, when the select size is set, the available space cannot exceed the green prompt in upper case.

13. accept-> yes-> Accept-> yes to restart this step. Do you want to save the configuration? Save the configuration to clear the previous configuration. Just confirm it, then restart the instance to install EXSi5.0.

Install EXSi, all the way to next, the following shows the disk status when installing RAID0 for me.
