Hi everybody
I have in my possession a HP Proliant DL360 G7 Server. It comes with the capacity to support 8 SAS 2.5 HDD
My server works OK. For the moment it is running Xubuntu 18.04 X64 (I know the Ubuntu Server OS edition is more suited to this machine but I will change to the server edition OS in due time). I have also installed a program called veracrypt into Xubuntu 18.04
My question is ...... I have 2 HDD's I want to encrypt and format. However they are 3.5 and not a 2.5 HDD :(
I do have male to female SAS cable I can use to connect one end to the servers backplane and the other end into the SAS 3.5 HDD. The trouble is Xubuntu isnt registering the HDD
What shall I do? The HDD are as follows
Toshiba MK2001TKRB 2TB
Seagate Constellation ES.3 4TB
If anyone can help me get the HDDs recognised by Xubuntu Id be grateful :)
I know this machine was built for 2.5 HDD within caddies but surely there must be the functioning capacity to support 3.5 SAS hard drives?
