Hi
I recently installed some hba's into a bunch of these 585's as they are forming a RAC cluster - previously to this they were all using DAS without issue.
After the qlogic cards were installed i reinstalled the OS and now once installed the OS will not boot - the box just reboots continuously, it does not even appear to get to grud, although this could be the ilo not displaying correctly.
I have installed the OS onto the internal RAID set as usual and the MBA gets put onto this internal RAID disk also, the internal disks are just laid out in a /boot and a /
Does anyone know what the issue could be or how i could disable these hba's during the install process so that they are not recognised?
thanks

un-export the volumes from the array to the host so the HBAs don't see any volumes on install. Then re-export them once the OS is installed.

or leave the FC unplugged during the install for the same net effect :)
This may not be what you're lookin for, but...
If it's the order of devices giving you a problem, you can also try the "latefcload" boot option so your internal disks show up first. There also the ignoredisk option in the kickstart (ie: ignoredisk --drives=sdb,sdc)
