HP P420i Problem with Cent OS 5.3

Post by imtiaz » 2013/03/08 06:15:27

I am trying to installa Cent OS 5.3 on a HP ML350p GEN 8 Server with a P420i RAID controller . But P420i controller is not supported by Cent OS 5.3 . I want to deploy a NMS system on this server and the NMS software supports upto Cent OS 5.3 .

Require driver for P420i for Cent OS 5.3

Don't do that!

CentOS 5.3 is severely out of date and riddled with security bugs. The gen8 HP servers need at least CentOS 5.7 to work and 5.9 is the latest. If your software requires CentOS 5.3 then it's time to look at new software since 5.3 is now over 3 years old and any software vendor that doesn't requalify their software or supply bug fixes to it for more than 3 years will be a nightmare to maintain.
