Need drive array config disk for proliant 1850
I have a Compaq Proliant 1850R.
I'm running the System Configuration Utility (SCU) from the 4 diskette set. When I select Drive Array Configuration from the System Configuration menu it ask for the 'Drive Array Configuration' diskette. Where do i get this diskette? I cannot locate this on Compaq's web site. i tried using disk 2,3,4 of the SCU with no results. Thanks Scott |

I'm just curious but wouldn't that be more of an issue with the burner or burner software? Scott |

If possible, burn the disk at 4x speed...it will be worth the extra two minutes or so. If you feel ambitious, and find this to be a compelling curiousity, try burning a second disk at full speed (52x)...you will likely find that the first disk boots, and the second does not.

Jeffrey Alsip Agreed. There were a ton of posts here a couple years ago when HP first made the iso available. For some reason, as Jeffrey says, one must burn the image to disk at the slowest possible speed. I cant imagine why it would matter, but its possible that the image was ripped with an old burner, at a slow speed or something like that. let us know how it works out for you, - LC |

I'm just curious but wouldn't that be more of an issue with the burner or burner software? Scott It could be the CD ROM firmware. There was an issue in 2000 with DL380s whereby certain CD ROM drives had a problem with the firmware that caused certain European issued SmartStart CDs (anout 4.70) to not work, and it took 2 firmware releases to fix it. So my guess would be the firmware is a bit finickety requiring a 'deeper' burn. Thinking about it, it could also be that the older CD drives are less sensitive or have different tollerances, so a slower burn (it does make a difference with Audio as well apparently) should be more consistent and reliable. It /could/ depend on the quality of your CD burner, but I wouldn't argue with the experts... |
