Re: Linux raid config tool for IBM eServer x335/345

Hi buddy,
I instaled a ibm xseries 345 about 3 months ago.
First i booted with IBM SERVERGUIDE SETUP
AND INSTALATION CD(version 7.4.17) and configured
the raid. Them i, within the IBM Server guide without press
the reset button, restarted the system with the Debian CD.
This is it.
Regards
