when the server boots, it should tell you which controller you have (if its
an array controller).

What processors are in your machine ?

My mistake. Nor a Perc...those are on the Dells, as you said.
It has a controller, but I do not know which one. I have serial numbers
for
the server, from Compaq, but i have yet to get a straight answer out of
them. I tell them what the serial numbers are, and they ask me what
hardware
do I have? Seems to me they should tell me what HW I have, seein's how
they
built this beast!
Anyways, needless to say this computer is not my only presssing, need to
get
off my desk in a hurry, handed down from the last guy project i have. He
was
very good at generating pretty reports, though. Sorry if I rambled, or
misled you on the Perc...

oh god... that is just plain sacrilege

A DELL controller in a Compaq?

Thats like putting mustard in red wine

does your Perc have the latest firmware and bios ?

Im suprised the CPQ utilties will see anything on the PERC controller.

That is just strange.

"which" perc 2 do you have? SC or DC ? AMI based or Adaptec Based?

I do have some knowledge of dark-side servers...

I havent added drives to a compaq server that didnt have an array
controller
in probably 7 years.

I would suggest picking up a cheap controller on eBay. Oh, you
didnt
mention
which version of the 800 you have. HP veriosn, NonHP verision..
PPro
200
verision, PII350 version...

I have a Compaq Proliant 88 with a single SCSI drive, running
Novell
4.1.1
and the drive is out of free space. I purchased a new Maxtor
18
gig
SCSI
and
put it in the computer. The BIOS recognizes the drive when it
is
booting
up,
and the Compaq utility correctly sees the drive, but after
that,
the
drive
is reported as a 9 gig drive to everything (fdisk, partition
magic,
server
magic, ghost, DOS 6.2 and 7), not the 181 gig drive that it
is.
I
called
Compaq, but India, I mean Tech Support told me they could not
help
me
as
the
drive was a third party drive. I bought 2 of these drives from
CDW.
They
sold these to me as replacement drives for a Compaq Proliant.
I
have
had
these drives for 3 weeks now, and have not been able to
resolve
this
issue.
Anyone have a similar issue, or can provide me some direction?
Thanks!
