proliant 3000 config

Dear list,
i use an old Proliant 3000, but i've a Problem. I've read in the manual
that i can configure the drives by pressing the f10 button when its
prompted. But it is never prompted. The Server starts, searchs for scsi
devices and ready.
Any ideas??

cheers, coffi

The cursor will jump to the upper right corner and pause, press the F10
key then.

The F10 key launches the utilities that are stored on the utility
partition of the boot disc. In the event your system does not have
these utilities installed you can download them from HP. You'll want a
SmartStart v5.5 CD

agreed. He needs to use SmartStart to setup his server.

I dont recall if SS installs the ACU to the system partion ... i tend to
think it doesnt. So, he will need to boot from the CD to get that
application.

Does it really need to be v5.5? I was under the impression that the
portions that handle 5-10 year old servers is the same on all recent
versions. You might be able to save a few bucks by getting one that
is a version or two out of date on eBay.

they are all free now ...

Hi,
today i've tested a lot. When the cursor goes in the left corner it
works with f10 to enter the utilitys. Now i need a Disk with the tools
for the Smart Array 3200 Controller to reconfigure the partitions and disks.

I've tested the SmartStart cd 5.5 too. But it doesn't start. The Server
hanks on a picture "Smart Start", with two greag guxy, they have a
server in a car :-)

Any ideas to make the SmartStart CD working or where i can get a disk
image for the controller.

Cheers

Great! My current SmartStart CD is so old, it's made out of
wood and only sets up steam-powered servers.


heh ... some of mine run by the slave power of captive civilizations,
capable of dozens of abacus calculations per hour.
