NASLite Network Attached Storage

I just installed NasLite CDD on a Compaq Proliant DL380, and am having trouble.

Firstly, the system has 6 drives, hardware RAID 5. The system sees 4 drives and cannot format them. Do I need to go back into the RAID config and set them to RAID 0 (no raid) for this to work? Will NasLite create a large volume?

I'd be concerned about the loss of RAID redundancy, but not totally.

The second reboot seems to have resolved the configuration problem.

I've gone ahead and installed Fedora Core 6 on it now, which is running and is on the network... point being, I formatted what was there, so I wonder if that was confusing Naslite... or if Naslite can't handle RAIDed devices.

Thanks.

What version of NASLite-2 are you running?

Whatever the latest version is when you download after purchase... that's what I have (bought today).

Ok, good, because NASLite-2 CDD and USB are they only ones that support raid, NASLite v1.x which includes the Server Suite don't.


Have you unlocked NASLite-2?

Wait, maybe I've made a mistake here... I downloaded the "suite" which I thought had all the current Naslite products. Did I make the wrong decision?

BTW - RAID0 is not "no RAID" - RAID0 or RAID Level 0 is what is known as striping, a method of writing the data across all the disk in the array in order to achieve the fastest possible storage access.

It should be approached with caution as it has no redundancy, and failure of a single disk will cause loss of all the stored data.

NASLite Server Suite is v1.x and does not support RAID....
