First, you need a RAID controller. Open your server or check with your server distributor's documentation to see if you have one. Second, you need to configure your kernel to support the RAID controller. Consult with the RAID controller documentation to see what modules or patches are needed. Third, after you have installed the RAID controller and the appropriate kernel modules, boot the machine. Usually there will be a message from the RAID controller after the BIOS but before LILO that announces the presence of the controller and the shortcut key needed to configure it, like Control-R or something like that. Hit the shortcut key. You should now get a options menu for configuring the RAID groups. The menu is fairly self explanatory. You'll need to understand RAID to configure it correctly. Set your volume groups at this point, RAID levels, etc. When you have completed the configuration the disks will have to be "scrubbed". This could take several hours. Needless to say, you can't add RAID to a production server, it has to be set up with it in the beginning. g -- Brought to you by Debian 3.0 Linux took 2.4.16 #1 SMP Sat Jan 5 12:52:24 EST 2002 i686 unknown
