Hi JJ,
Thanks for the reply. It's good to know that you've been using WBEL 3.0 on
yr Compaq/HP machines for quite some time and it works well. I hope I get
the same result as you do.
When you say to create a /etc/redhat-release, do you mean to execute this
command while I'm in /etc/ ?? -->
# touch redhat-release
So /etc/redhat-release can be an empty file? Or do I have to get a copy of
that file from somewhere?
----------
For the ML370's, DL360's & DL 380's, did they come with SCSI RAID
Controller cards? If yes, were they automatically detected by WBEL 3.0?
I am asking because when I installed RHL 7.2 on it, the SCSI RAID
Controller cards were not detected and I had to go in search for the
drivers, then had to use the driver disk (dd) option during installation.
After installation, it was unable to boot up so I had to boot up with the
dd and then subsequently download the RPM containing the drivers and
install it before it could boot up again.
I am hoping that because WBEL 3.0 is essentially RHEL 3.0 that the
mentioned SCSI RAID Controller drivers are already in there and I wouldn't
have to go through so much hassle like I had to with RHL 7.2.
----------
Thanks again JJ.
Cheers,
Andrew

I don't specifically have ML530's at work, but I've been using WBEL 3.0
on<br>
Compaq / HP ML370's, DL360's & DL380's for quite some time.<br>
<br>
The install will autodetect all of the appropriate hardware, but for HP
SIM<br>
Support, install the HP Proliant Support Pack 7.11 for RHEL3.
It<br>
autodetects and installs drivers & management agents for your
specific<br>
hardware.<br>

<br>
Before running the PSP install, you will need to create an<br>
/etc/redhat-release and give the appearance of RHEL3.0 ( Red Hat
Enterprise<br>
Linux ES release 3 (Taroon Update 1) ) for the scripts to function
properly.<br>
<br>
Hope this helps...<br>
