Selfhosted

A place to share alternatives to popular online services that can be self-hosted without giving up privacy or locking you into a service you don't control.

Rules:

  1. Be civil: we're here to support and learn from one another. Insults won't be tolerated. Flame wars are frowned upon.

  2. No spam posting.

  3. Posts have to be centered around self-hosting. There are other communities for discussing hardware or home computing. If it's not obvious why your post topic revolves around selfhosting, please include details to make it clear.

  4. Don't duplicate the full text of your blog or github here. Just post the link for folks to click.

  5. Submission headline should match the article title (don’t cherry-pick information from the title to fit your agenda).

  6. No trolling.

You can find the 7.12.x support CD for that controller at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/ibm-serveraid-software-matrix. I'm pretty sure that server model did not support USB booting so you'll need to burn that to a disc. This will be the disc to boot off of to create your array(s).

I forget if the support CD had the application you would install in Windows to manage things after installation or not, or if that's only on the application CD. Either way you'll find several downloads for various OS drivers and the applications from that matrix.

Thanks for the link! I'll definitely need to try this... I have a few CDs laying around, I'll burn one!
