Are you trying to setup your own 'nas' or a distro thats has been setup for NAS usage? I'm running OpenMediaVault on a HP Micro server. Sorry can't answer you directly on that box. On Wed, Nov 11, 2015 at 4:47 PM, o1bigtenor <o1bigtenor@gmail.com> wrote:
Greetings
I have been trying to set up an older Dell poweredge 2950II for use as a NAS box (and possibly some other things.
Running into a problem. I used one hard drive from the array for some much needed other purpose for a few weeks and now when I wanted to put it back into the server well there are problems.
I can't get the bios to accept the '<ctrl> R' input. When in the PD Mgmt area when I use F2 to get into the hard disk area I can make the front panel light blink (or not) but I cannot get any other of the functions to highlight. The cursor just doesn't want to move!
So - - -
Does anyone know how to kick the bios in the seat of the pants to get the hardware raid to work?
Other option - - - drastic and expensive is to remove the 32GB of ECC ram in the box and setup a new server box. (I don't want to do this but if the other one won't work - - - well I need something that will!)
Ideas - - - suggestions - - - - please?
TIA
