Use unetbootin to create a bootable usb out of the smartstart iso Use unbootin to write the firmware iso to the usb drive
Get the smartstart CD iso from the HP Insight Foundation website // note: get v 8.40 for your G1 Get the firmware CD iso from the HP Insight Foundation website Get CentOS 5.7 iso images – all 8 (Do not get the latest CentOS)
#Centos hp cciss driver
Newer HP raid controllers use the hpsa driver that are in the kernel since 2.6.33.
#Centos hp cciss install
Hopefully these notes will save you some time.ġ.Workaround for low video ram for install: you can run the centos6 installer in text mode (with some loss of install features) by dropping to the boot: prompt and pass the ‘text’ parameter to the installer kernel as described here.Ģ.The cciss driver has been part of the stock linux kernel since at least 2.4 (e.g. Ubuntu 11 installs screens to handle, and since this hardware has been spinning in a datacenter for 6 years something might be broken. The install can be a hassle because your machine probably will not have an optical drive, doesn’t have enough on-board video ram for recent e.g. (However, the eight internal fans were running at a mere 20% when I measured this.)
#Centos hp cciss Offline
Refurbished machines go for about $150 at ebay – this includes the legendary HP SmartArray RAID controller and 10k rpm UltraSCSI disks, dual GiGE ports, Integrated Lights Out (an embedded tcp/ip server for offline diagnostics) – probably the cheapest quad core machine your money can buy, great for your home lab. Power consumption measured at ~300 watts on a multi-threaded test pegging all the CPUs for > 15 minutes. Equipped with Opterons 260 to 285 they are reasonably powerful beasts.

Although they are connected via scsi you don’t generally get a traditional scsi connection to each disk. Proliants use HP’s SmartArray which does a hardware RAID presentation of your disks and what you see in /dev/cciss/ are the logical drives. dev/cciss/ is where smartctl presents the logical disks.
