ACS 5.4 install overrides raid setup on SNS-3415

[ahn-david]

I'm currently in the process of reconfiguring SNS3415 single disk into 2x disk RAID1.

After adding the 2nd disk and configuring/initializing 2xdisk RAID1 through LSI RAID BIOS I went ahead with re-installation of ACS 5.4.

The ACS installation finished without a hitch.

However the SNS3415 boots up in single disk RAID 0 configuration after the install.

It seems as if the ACS install is reconfiguring the RAID setup during install and since the ACS install is non-interactive/unattended I can't tell what it's doing in the background with storage setup etc. I've repated the RAID setup and ACS install 3 times with consistant results.

Is this a normal behaviour for ACS install on SNS-3415?

Is there a way for me to breakout of 'non-interactive' install have more control over storage setup?

or is there something I'm missing to get the RAID1 working on SNS3415?

Hope someone can assist.

ACS 5.5 resolved the issue.

Yes, this a normal behaviour for ACS install on SNS-3415.

SNS-3415 having single disk, No RAID supporting in this.

Hi David, I'm in the need to enable RAID on an SNS3415 after inserted a sec. HDD. Can you point me to a place where I can find documentation on how the raid can be configured?

tnx Ralf
