the setup:
NetWare 6.5 SP8, HP DL380G5, with smart array e200i.
3 disks are configured in raid5, now trying to add a 4th disk, using cpqonlin.nlm, which is the ACU for NetWare.
When I start the tool, and selecting the raid card, I got the following warning:
"CPQONLIN.NLM has determined that one or more logical drives on this controller has been configured with RAID ADG and the RAID ADG enabler modules is missing or failed.
The accelerator on this controller will be disabled until the TAID ADG enabler module is replaced or until all logival drives using TAID ADG are deleted or miigrated to other RAID levels.
You will not be allowed to create RAID ADG logical drives untile the RAID ADG enabler module is replaced."
I coudl click this warning away, and get to the page where I can see my disks, but I don`t have an option to extend the array.
Could some explain the relation between extending an array with this RAID ADG enabler module? If there is any... Or anything about how to `replace` this enabler module, as I haven`t found any useful information regarding the E200i controller.
Or the issue not being able to extend the array is not related to that warning above? I have found forum topics where they say that:
- you cannot extend an array with cpqonlin.nlm. you have to reboot and boot smartstart
- you cannot extend an array if the cache battery is dead
Would these be better reasons?
