Hello,
A visitor asked me last week how to install linux as double boot on a windows 10 *raid* hpz230.
the raid is a firmware raid, not a software one, present on the motherboard.
on the spot I was not able to make openSUSE to see the raid 1 two disks presents on the system.
YaST-install sees two disks, but can't configure the free space (locked obviously by the raid software).
However, these computers are SLES/SLED compatible
Hi jdd,
yes, it is "compatible", as in "you can use SUSE to operate it"
sure, mayu be suse simply bypass the system raid. It was my first try. But the hole disk was locked by the raid, so opensuse couldn't write on it.
A real hardware raid is provided by an "external" hard disk controller.
yes I used, time ago an scsi hardware raid, completely transparent to linux (debian at this time), but a a real server, large and heavy machine
Maybe you can use Windows to shrink the "raided" partitions, so that there is free space for linux.
it's what I finally suggested to the owner, but then the raid may not really protect the hole disk. I next Saturday the owner come again I may try thanks jdd -- mon serveur usenet: dodin.fr.nf c'est quoi, usenet? http://www.dodin.org/wiki/pmwiki.php?n=Usenet.Usenet
