RAID controller setup on Dedicated Server

This article helps you find which controller is used in your server.

Introduction

Beehosting offers RAID provides from several different manufacturers. Currently, these are 3Ware, Adaptec, and LSI. This article helps you find which controller is used in your server.

Finding the controller model

Most newer servers have LSI controllers, but this is not always the case (and cannot be guaranteed). If you’re not sure which controller your server has, you can use the following command to find out:

# lspci  | grep RAID

This will show you the manufacturer of the RAID contoller. An example for an Adaptec controller would be:

03:00.0 RAID bus controller: Adaptec AAC-RAID (rev 09)

Windows users can find the RAID controller under Device Manager.
