Dell R640 with Perc H740P Mini (Embedded) RAID controller

Post by suneer » 2018/06/08 09:59:36

We recently purchased a Dell R640 with Perc H740P Mini (Embedded) RAID controller. There are four number 500GB SAS disks in RAID 5.
When we tried to install CentOS7.4 from usb, 'HDD not detected only usb

Try again with 7.5 which is the latest version. New hardware support is added at point releases. If you provide the output from lspci -nn | grep -i raid then that may aid us in helping you.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.
Info for USB installs on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey
CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

You probably want to download CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1804.iso from your local mirror: http://isoredirect.centos.org/centos/7/isos/x86_64/

7.5.1804 is the latest version. The 7.5 is not visible in the .iso name, but 1804 is.

Code: Select all

$ cat /etc/centos-release
CentOS Linux release 7.5.1804 (Core)
