After a grueling week of finding an answer to my problem with two DL360 G5s, I think I’ve finally found the solution.
It says that I need another cable to connect the drives 5 and 6 to the backplane for the RAID to include them in the configuration. The part number is 399546-B21 so I have to place an order right away.
It was a busy weekend for me with a photo shoot yesterday and family day today though I have some errand in Makati. But last week has been an exhausting week configuring G5s. It consumed most of my brain muscles looking for ways to resolve the problem only to find out that a cable is originally not included.
DL360 G5s has six bays available so I inserted 6 pcs. of mini SAS but only drives 1 to 4 were recognized when I’m doing the RAID. I thought it was a firmware issue so I downloaded the firmware maintenance CD which is about 400 MB but still not recognized so I reinstalled again but still fails. Tried using different HP SmartStart versions but still fails, tried installing the OS and hoping to make it enable thru online maintenance but got second thoughts so I stopped the idea.
But today I finally got some pretty good answers from Google. Here are the possible solutions:
Solution 1
Solution 2
