https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/dl320-rbsu/m-p/2924254#M16055 Hello!<BR /><BR />I have discovered a nagging issue with trying to changed the boot order for the two embedded IDE controllers on a dl320, through the RBSU (RomBasedSetupUtility). The routine will not let us toggle this order and hard-codes the wrong controller as beeing in the primary controller order position.<BR /><BR />I have flashed the system RomPaq with the latest Feb 2003 version, and I am still not capable of modifying the boot order between the Ultra-100 hosting the CD and floppy drives locked to the "primary" position, and the integrated PCI IDE controller hosting the hard disks, locked in the secondary.<BR /><BR />This causes the w2k unattended routine to fail with an inaccessible boot device, trying to find hard disks on the wrong PRIMARY controller (Ultra-100 with CD and floppy).<BR /><BR />Have you seen this, and what do you recommend, besides using the assisted smarstart installation routine? I can also work around this problem with a manual w2k setup and F6 "external mass storage devices" approach.<BR /><BR />I do not have this problem with various Proliant systems using embedded or PCI card Array controllers .<BR /><BR /> I have placed a service call with Compaq Gold Priority Support , but assume this is more of a design issue.<BR /><BR />Thanks for any enlightment! <BR /> Tue, 11 Mar 2003 14:22:31 GMT Daniel Caron_3 2003-03-11T14:22:31Z https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/dl320-rbsu/m-p/2924254#M16055 Hello!<BR /><BR />I have discovered a nagging issue with trying to changed the boot order for the two embedded IDE controllers on a dl320, through the RBSU (RomBasedSetupUtility).
