CentOS7

Try 'lspci -nn'.

Shut down the server because of the noise and my neighborhood .

But a little searching in Google brought up this:
103c3230103c3234 P400 SAS Controller
vendor: 103c ("Hewlett-Packard Company"), device: 3230 ("Smart Array Controller"), subvendor: 103c, subdevice: 3234 ("P400 SAS Controller")

On my rhel7b1 I have

Code: Select all

/usr/lib/modules/3.10.0-54.0.1.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/scsi/hpsa.ko

and `modinfo hpsa` says a bunch of stuff about it - among them a great long list of the pci vendor:device ids it supports and yours (and mine) is not one of them. In your modprobe command you have one too many hpsa's.

Good morning Trevor,

the "one time to often" hpsa was a typo in the forum but not at testing. Sorry for that. Seems it was a Little bit to late for me

Thanks for the time you spent to find this out!

Then it looks like i have to check if i can borough a different modell from another server i own ( i am not shure if that one has something different than a p400 ). On the other hand i can see if i can find one other controller at ebay Would be a sinn not to use the existing drives .

But at the end the best part ( until now ) is that i can use the 380G5 with RHEL7 in principle. The only thing which makes me a little sad is that with RHEL 6.5 there was no proplem at all...

[Klaus69]

For now i use VMWare ESXi 5.5 to have access to all drives. RHEL Beta works in this Environment like a charm

RE: the RHEL7 Beta, what would prevent me from installing it, using it until RHEL7 GAs and CentOS 7 is released, and then switching over to CentOS repos? At that point I can just follow the migration guide like usual, right?

The only thing I can think of that might cause problems is if RH decides to use an older version of some key dependency in between the beta and GA, and I get stranded unable to update my way out of it. That seems unlikely, but I've never used one of their Betas before and I actually haven't made a RHEL -> CentOS migration either (latter looks very simple), so maybe there are other sticking points?

[TrevorH]

Two things that I can think of:

1) there are no security updates for the beta so it probably has unpatched vulnerabilities
2) there is no supported upgrade path, RH say you should format and start over with the GA.

1) there are no security updates for the beta so it probably has unpatched vulnerabilities

Good point, and I'd be exposed for probably 3-4 months at a minimum.

2) there is no supported upgrade path, RH say you should format and start over with the GA.

Whether this is show-stopper depends on how much the package landscape changes between beta and GA, right? Does RH do anything to hamstring the betas in particular?

[Klaus69]

When i try to get access to a mounted pen drive via the desktop link the system crashes.
Using the Menue locations works fine.

That` s true for my Laptop and also for the virtual system i have in use.

Hello All

The RHEL7 Release Candidate images are publically available now

ftp://ftp.redhat.com/redhat/rhel/rc/7/W ... 86_64/iso/

I'm downloading the Live ISO. Anyone any ideas on the difference between the workstation and client ISOs? Is it simply the 'creative workstation' group of applications?

EDIT: the 1Gb Live ISO disappeared while I was downloading it (and I have the wget command output to prove it) so now I'm downloading the 4Gb Workstation installer.
