Fujitsu Tx1320m3 with EP420i raid controller

Post by johnl72 » 2018/05/24 09:16:17

Does anyone have experience setting up a Fujitsu TX1320m3 server with the EP 420i raid controller? Client needs system to operate on CentOS 6.9.
I am having problems locating a suitable driver that I can load from a disk image during the installation process.

Any help would be awesome. (I am a complete newbie on CentOS).

I assume you have setup the raid disks in the controller bios?

Post the output from lspci -nn | grep -i raid

That controller appears to be a rebadged LSI one and if so then the drivers for it should already be included in CentOS 6.9.
The future appears to be RHEL or Debian. I think I'm going Debian.

CentOS 5 and 6 are deadest, do not use them.

Raid is configured.

3 x 600GB SAS in Raid 5

1 x Logical drive

LSI megaraid SAS is not one of the driver options. Cannot get past the "No driver found", select driver etc screen.

Cannot seem to locate an appropriate driver

The install DVD allows you to boot in rescue mode, use that. Press tab when you see the initial menu then add a space followed by the word rescue to the kernel command line.
