I have a Proliant 2500 and I don't know how to install it.
Hi everyone!
I had a deal and I bought a proliant 2500, 2 ppro 200mhz with 480 ram, 2 hot-plug 9.1 HD. My problem is simple to explain, I am very confortable with usual PC, installing NT, formating, partitionning and all that, but with IDE hard drive in desktop machine. It's the first time I'm in front of a real server and no OS seems to be on it. I've searched Compaq site and tried a few things to set-up the harddrives but it seems like it only sees one HD. What I want to know is, what should I install so that the SCSI card figure out that I have 2 HD in it. I am not dumb, but I just have no resource around to help me start this nice babe.. technical stuff: At boot I can read that it's an E24 bios I also have Slot 6 Compaq Smart-2DH array controller (rev C, v4.06) 1 logical drive 1784-Slot 6 Drive Array Drive Failure the following SCSI drive(s) should be replaced SCSI port 1 : SCSI IDs 1,2,3,4 Scanning for SCSI devices No SCSI devices detected. it offers me to continue (F1) or to start the system partitionning with F10. Needless to say that The system partitionning isn't startable and I have no idea where to find that. When I look at the hard drives, I have a 9.1 gig in slot 0 with the green light on beside a cylinder icon and in slot 1 I have another 9.1 gig with an orange light on beside a crossed-cylinder icon Any suggestion ? - Mister Do |
to start with the yellow light means that the drive is bad
you will need a smart start CD to set up the system. once thats done then the rest is easy (just like a regular pc) bill Mister Do wrote: Hi everyone!

I think my next question is obvious. Where can I get a smart start CD for
the proliant 2500 ? - Mister Do "Bill B" wrote in message ... to start with the yellow light means that the drive is bad you will need a smart start CD to set up the system. once thats done then the rest is easy (just like a regular pc) bill |
