Hi All I will need to install CentOS 5.3 on HP DL380 R05 server with RAID-1 required. I am a newbie to CentOS / HP servers, need your help: - Does CentOS 5.3 work smoothly with HP DL380 server especially recognizing SAS disks and hardware RAID-1 features? From you experience, do you have to use HP Storage Drivers provided for RedHat Enterprise Linux 5? - How is HP hardware RAID-1's performance? Should I use HP's hardware RAID or software RAID in this case? Thanks a lot and looking forward to your answers.
