Partition size error 0 MB on DL 360 Gen 9

[LarchComputers]

The "Go to BIOS and change to legacy mode (for once) option" worked.  If I had come here first, I could have saved 4 or 5 hours going round in circles.  That's all the margin on the server hardware blown!

- Problem with partition size using UEFI bios (works fine with legacy)

>we are aware and will be fixing this asap

>try and disable the onboard controller b140 first and then do the install, we only have been able to reproduce this in dual controller setups

- Can't use French keyboard in IP screen

>ellaborate this please, with screens etc, also steps for us to reproduce

- Most of HP tools are not copy during setup (no array tools, no homepage...) as no cd provided we need to download the old SPP which is 5Gb size .

> I will get on this one

Not using intelligent provisioning but another unattended sollution gives same issue. 

OS tries to install on a disk with size 0 and fails :s.

You need to go back the the raid configuration

& scroll down & select the boot drive

it will then work""

Thank you so much for the solution. This one worked like a charm :)

Appreciate your correct and specific solution.

Advisory has been released a while back

[Torsten.]

The advisory says:

This issue may be observed on any HP ProLiant Gen8 or ProLiant Gen9 servers with multiple Smart Array controllers enabled, such as the embedded HP Dynamic Smart Array (Software RAID) controller without hard disk drives configured and HP Smart Array P44ar or other (Hardware RAID) Controller configured with SAS hard disk drives in a RAID Array logical boot drive.

Usually, if you have all disks connected to an additional controller and no disks on the built-in, disable the built-in should solve the issue too, right?

Correct, thats the workaround, upgrading the Intelligent Provisioning is the solution.

[NickSousa]

I fixed this issue by going into the array manager and selecting "clear configuration", and reconfiguring the raid array. I also set the logical volume as the boot device, and then reran the f10 intelligent provisioning.

Press F9

Select ->

Systems Options  -> Controller SATA -> Change  Smart Array  to  SATA 

too Change the bios to legacy mode

and ready.

I physically removed additional drives, and set the primary and secondary boot drives to NONE in array config.

Worked perfectly after that.
