Hello, Just finished reading another thread on the same G1 DL380 but I'm still unable to rebuild my array. I only have one of four SCSI disks but would like to get Ubuntu Linux running for test/dev purposes. I googled around and found a copy of SmartStart 5.5 on HP's site and burned a copy of it...

running W2000 SP4 on a HP DL360 G4 2 disks mirrored in case of disk failure - is just a case of replacing the faulty one and allowing a rebuild – or is other configuration necessary

Hi all, I have a Quantum DLT3000 DLT tape drive that I'm trying to connect to a Proliant 3000 using the external SCSI interface of the onboard SCSI card. I am using a brand new SCSI cable. However, the SCSI BIOS does not seem to be detecting the drive. During POST, the Smart 2 DH controller...

Here is my theory: "NuTCrAcKeR" is actually a self-aware artificial intelligence that self-organized when a critical mass of Compaq servers were hooked up to the Internet. He helps us puny humans with our silly problems so as to increase the number of Compaq servers, and thus to expand...

I am setting up the Proliant 7000 I picked up cheap, and have a question about raid array bandwidth. This server has three drive cages, each holding 4 or 6 drives depending on height. Right now 64MB smart array 3200 raid array controllers are practically free on eBay, so I was thinking of putting...

Although I am happy as a clam with my quad PPro 5500R, when I saw a 7000 for $199, I couldn't resist the temptation. For that I got seven 10,000 RPM 9.1 GB wide ultra SCSI drives, three power supplies, and Quad Pentium Pro CPUs in a configuration that has a lot more room around the CPUs for...

....so I pulled it and put in a replacement, and the array controller filled it with the exact same data that was on the bad drive. I didn't even have to reboot. Life is good when you use a Compaq server as your desktop PC. :)

I am thinking of replacing my 200MHz Pentium Pro 5500 with something a bit faster. There are a lot of Xeon 5500s on eBay with 400-550 Mhz Xeons, or I have an opportunity to pick up a Proliant 7000 locally cheap. Will I be able to put the 3GB of 228471-001 256MB ram chips and the 199598-001 4.3GB...

I will be shocked if anyone has the solution to this... My Proliant 5500R PPro runs perfectly, except on two occasions. Occasion #1 - after years of perfect service: I hit the power switch and it starts up, then goes dead after a few seconds. Turn it off and on, no problem. Works fine for a...

Hello there, Can anybody tell me where I can find ore download the smartstart cd for the Compaq Proliant ML570? (2x Xeon 700MHz). I can't find it at hp.com Thanks in advance Hans

I've run into a catch 22 with some Compaq 6400R servers that were donated to the Hospice I support. I want to wipe everything out and start fresh. If I boot the Smart Start CD, it goes through several gyrations and then tells me that I have to re-install windows on the "S:" drive. If I let it...

We are configuring some ML3x0's for RAID. There are two scenarios: 1) Upgrading an ML370 G2 server that has 6 drives and no RAID. We want to construct it so that we have a RAID-1 C: drive and a RAID-5+1 (or RAID-10) D: drive. 2) Configuring a new ML370 G4 (and 350) with 8 drives (using the cage...
