Hi all, I have a server which is really difficult to restart because of usage requirements and the fact that it's in a co-lo rack so miles away. I've added a couple of drives which I'd like to bring up and add to LVM but the config I know is in the PERC BIOS and requires a reboot.
Can the config be changed in the openmanage suite and if so can someone point me in the right direction?
thanks
How did you add the spare drives in the first place? Need a reboot that time?

I assume that the hard drives are hot pluggable, but the point is to add them to the Perc Raid volume group. I doubt it is possible without a reboot, but you it should be asked to Linux-PowerEdge mailing list...

Short answer: yes
Go look at "omsetup storage ..."

Or use the LSI MegaCLI tool...

This howto guide was written in the PERC5 era, but the commands still hold true for the current versions of the MegaCLI tool. http://tools.rapidsoft.de/perc/perc-cheat-sheet.html

Yes. d/l the LSI MegaRAID software, and you can do pretty much the same stuff that you can do if you go into the firmware on system boot.
