Hi All

Never really played with Raid in Linux machines only windows with HP servers. I would like to install a RAID card that will work with proxmox which is not too expensive. Can anyone sugges some makes and model that I can get hold of in the UK

Many thanks

Hi,
"not too expensive" is relative, but i can suggest Areca-SAS Raid-Controller. Fast and work well.

Hello tom. I went and purchase the 6805 and now I found that the 6805 need debian 5.0.9 or later to work, anything you could tell me regarding to this.
 
6805 works!

Hello Tom, I have tried the 6805 and proxmox do not recognize it at all, I am using proxmox ver 1.9. Please advise what could be happening.?
 
Thanks for responding. Well I will post the output of lspci when I get to the office.
According to adaptec the driver they have is for Debian 5.0.6 and the debian that comes with proxmox is actually 5.0 meaning the driver does not install, the other way is to compile the driver, which they do not provide .deb the only provide .rpm, this is frustrating. Proxmox is just not recognizing the controller. The weird thing is that I can install proxmox on the controller, but if I install proxmox into a different raid card, proxmox do not recognize the RAID card. Please advise.

Hec I will the output of lspci tomorrow.
 
I looked at /etc/debian_version in my proxmox servers
Code: 
pmx-00:~# cat /etc/debian_version 
5.0.9
The version 5.0 was at release. You can convert the rpms to deb packages. Which kernel do you use. Please also post a pveversion -v that we can see which kernel and which other komponents of proxmox are installed.
The tool for converting is alien. As i know you need to add the --scripts option.
 
Is it possible what I have read that the driver for adaptec 6xxx series is in 2.6.32 and NOT on the 2.6.35. Is this possible?.
