Hi. I am trying to install Rocky 8.9 on some older hardware.
lspci -nn
shows
HP Smart Array Controller [103c:3230]
I tried to load sg, hpsa, hpsa.hpsa_allow_any=1 hpsa.hpsa_simple_mode=1
Still no cigar in showing any disks to perform an installation on a logical raid drive. I have even attempted to remove the logical drive altogether and it still does not see any disks.
modprobe -c | grep -I 103c shows hpsa, hpwdt, hilo, bnx2, bcma, ath9k, aacraid, smartpqi, snd_usb_audio and rt18192cu but I don’t think I see anything specifically for 103c:3230?
Any idea on what to do here? Is it feasible to get these drives to show to perform an installation. I plan to eventually PXE boot these guys using iSCSI but I’m still interested in why Rocky8 is not detecting these drives.
Yes this seems to be quite the conundrum. I seem to be unable to install EPEL during the installation process. Is there an image that contains epel usable modules during installation process? dnf config-manager is not installed. If I try to install epel.org using start [ELRepo Wiki] I get an error. What is anaconda anyways? Doesn’t seem to be a real live image. Newb here. Thanks!
Yep install media. Similar commands to go to lower init level in Linux. Ctrl shift f2 I think. Then you get tmux and other terminal to run commands. I’m not sure what sane person would not use raid for a persistent service node. Even snapshots results in data loss albeit usually only OS related. But in the end I have a proposed solution worked out I will test later after discussing on the Mattermost channel. I also plan later to just pxe boot from a iSCSI interface and not use local storage at all. Just playground for me atm for updating old 10Gbps pcie firmware. cheers.
Thanks. Yes that could work. I noticed I had to activate my network card after in the installer. Not sure if it would auto activate or some incantation would enable on boot to do the download as I haven’t tried it. But for me less typing just using a second USB. Especially if imaging a few nodes. I’ll eventually graduate to PXE once my storage and boot system are operational. Cheers
