Adding a New SCSI or IDE Hard Disk to Your Linux Box (Redhat, CentOS)

1, Find out if your new hard disk is IDE or SCSI drive. Use the following table for naming convention. For example, if you are adding second SCSI drive, use sdb for your hard disk. This guide uses SCSI as example.

IDE SCSI
Primary Slave Primary Slave
hda hdb sda sdb

2, Verify your system is using SCSI hard disk

[root@innovitainc ~]# df -h

Filesystem
Size Used Avail Use% Mounted on
/dev/mapper/VolGroup00-LogVol00 32G 26G 4.1G 87% /
/dev/sda1 99M 33M 62M 35% /boot
none 1.5G 0 1.5G 0% /dev/shm

3, Create Partitions

[root@innovitainc ~]# fdisk /dev/sdb

Command (m for help):

4. Format hard disk

[root@innovitainc ~]# mkfs -t ext3 /dev/sdb1

mke2fs 1.35 (28-Feb-2004)
Filesystem label=
OS type: Linux
Block size=4096 (log=2)

4096000, 7962624, 11239424

Writing inode tables: done
Creating journal (8192 blocks): done
Writing superblocks and filesystem accounting information: done

This filesystem will be automatically checked every 31 mounts or
180 days, whichever comes first. Use tune2fs -c or -i to override.

5. Make a directory for mounting the new partition

[root@innovitainc ~]# mkdir /disk2

6, Use vi to edit the /etc/fstab file.

[root@innovitainc ~]# vi /etc/fstab

# This file is edited by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0
none /dev/shm tmpfs defaults 0 0
none /proc proc defaults 0 0
none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0
/dev/sdb1 /disk2 ext3 defaults 1 2

add the following line to /etc/fstab

/dev/sdb1 /disk2 ext3 defaults 1 2

the file should be like this:

# This file is edited
by fstab-sync - see 'man fstab-sync' for details
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol00 / ext3 defaults 1 1
LABEL=/boot /boot ext3 defaults 1 2
none /dev/pts devpts gid=5,mode=620 0 0

none /sys sysfs defaults 0 0
/dev/VolGroup00/LogVol01 swap swap defaults 0 0
/dev/hda /media/cdrom auto pamconsole,exec,noauto,managed 0 0

save and exit vi.

7, Mount the partition.

[root@innovitainc ~]# mount /dev/sdb1

or mount -t ext3 /dev/sdb1 /disk2

8, Verify the new drive is mounted

[root@innovitainc ~]# df -k

2.3, Log into the WordPress admin panel and click on the Plugins button

2.4, Locate the secure-admin listing and click Activate

3. Test ssl web connection

https://www.my-whiteboard.com

Because the certificate was not generated from Trusted CA root certificates and does not offer any third-party proof to validate your site’s identity, most browsers will show warning/error message similar to these.
