Fellow Compaq folk, I've got a ProLiant 6500 that came with dual (redundant) power supplies. One of the supplies has failed, and I will not be able to get a replacement until Monday. I seem to recall that there is a way to configure the system to operate on a single supply, but I can't find any...

Hi, I have a Proliant 3000 server Dual 500Mhz system (Non Rack) The system has two sets of Fans in the Front making a total of 4 Fans. One of the Fans went South and I would like to replace the fan. Looking at the Fans I see the set on top which has two cables that connect to the MB with two...

I have a Proliant 3000 450MHz. I have an old 100 MB SCSI internal Zip drive that I have installed in the bay on the top right. The Proliant had been used with an HP DDS drive, so I just moved the cable. The Zip drive is connected to internal SCSI controller 1 (controller 2 is used by the hard...

Hi Folks, I have a Proliant 3000 running 5.3 RELEASE which makes a noise like a 747 taking off. I either wish to remove one of the fans, or control them. Does anyone know if there is a mechanism to do this, including running Linux binaries?

Okai here is the problem. Ive plugged in the controller, and then connected a MSA30 Bay, then i added 12 x 18GB 10K Compaq HDD's and made a RAID10 array. Problem is i only get 10MB/s in write, that i would say is pretty poor. All drivers are up to date and raid controller has been ROM updated too,...

I got my SA5300 the other day and tried using it this evening.. After playing games with the SmartStart CD and whatnot, I was finally able to boot Linux (FC3) on it -- to a point.. It gets to the part where it tries to mount all of the various partitions but fails since apparently /dev/ida/c0d0p4...

Greetings: We recently acquired a PL3000 (PII version with the processor boards of the same form factor as in the PL5000) which does the "ten flash noboot" on the power supply (ten green and one amber flashes on the top led). We have two known-good power supplies but try only one at a time. We...

Some of you know that I have just installed RH9 on my 2500. I used SmartStart 5.5 and did a manual configuration for Linux OS, but I never saw the prompt to load the Configuration partition during that process. Now I have the system running, but it refuses to run KDE, Gnome or Xwindows. (I know,...

I'm using Smartarray 5Si in a DL380 G2, and I want to better understand how much detail with the controller drivers record in the Windows EventViewer in case of errors? Will they record SMART failures? What about minor inconsistencies seen on the disk and corrected? Does reporting...

Is anyone running an SA5302 in a PL6400R? I tried for a couple hours last night to get SS5.50 to successfully complete on my rig, but it wouldnt work. It kept getting an Unrecoverable Error: Error Code 24. I stripped everything out of the box except for 1GB of RAM and the SA5300. I scoured HP but...

I am working with a local charity to try and revive a donated, 'slightly used' Proliant. It's a rack config, G1 with the 1Ghz processor and fully populated with 9.1 G drives (12). The boot is currently set up on a Smart Array Controller (bios says SAC 431) and controls the first 6 drives fine. I...

Ok.. This one has me a bit stumped -- mostly because of the terms that compaq uses to describe their PCI architecture in their spec-sheets.. The Proliant 6400's spec sheet says : "# Six 64-bit slots (five PCI Hot Plug and one shared PCI/ISA)" What exactly is 64-bit PCI slots? I think I found the...

Hello I have RA4100 FC Array and I want to attach it to Debian or RedHat host. Currently I have 12 harddrive in the array and I have configured that disk from windows (3xRAID5). Logical volumes are visible under Debian. Attached devices: Host: scsi0 Channel: 00 Id: 00 Lun: 00 Vendor: COMPAQ ...

Just got my hands on a Proliant 2500, it initially reported it had only 16Mb. I ran the system erase and on the second boot it then announced it had 32Mb (system options not set). Once the system configuration utility has run it correctly reports it has 224Mb (3 x 64Mb + 1 x 32Mb) however when I...

I'm using the Proliant Support Pack for Windows 2003, and I want to know how do I select a single driver and install it from the GUI? If you highlight one driver and selected the menu option to install just selected drivers, it installs every one of them! -- Will

Is there a way...?? I have a Proliant 2500 Tower Case Model with the CPU/Memory module for two Slot 1 Pentium II 333MHz CPUs. It also has 1.5GB of memory and a five drive RAID and a two drive mirror. It all works fine under Win2K Server. (I Think I would like to make a Linux Server out of it,...

I'm trying to configure the IMD on a ProLiant 7000 using SmartStart 5.5 and SCU, but when I go into the "View or Edit Details" part of the program, I can't seem to be able to edit anything - all I get is a message stating that you can't do anything at the resource level. It's running no hard...

Hello, We've got an interesting problem with a Compaq Proliant ML350G3 with the smartarray 532 controller. It has 4 physical 36GB drives in the SCSI slots. I'm trying to sort out a configuration that was done by a previous sysadmin that looks a bit botched. Specifically - although the machine has...

After installed Windows 2000 to a DL585, most of the chipset and system devices are showing as unknown. I don't see any chipset driver set on the HP Windows 2000 driver section for DL585: http://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/locate/20_6016.html Any ideas on where to find the...
