https://community.hpe.com/t5/proliant-servers-ml-dl-sl/smartstart-array-errors-32-vs-64-bit/m-p/4321785#M86218 I'm new to the HP world so forgive me if these questions are easy, but I could not find any answers online.<BR /><BR />I have two DL365 servers with AMD Opteron 64bit processors. I have smartstart 8.15 in both 32 and 64 bit versions. I started configuring the first server with the 32 bit smartstart but I kept getting errors about the drive configuration after configuring the arrays: "There is no bootable drive configured on this system."<BR /><BR />I tried destroying and creating the arrays a couple times in the ACU and manually during bootup. I then tried it with the 64 bit disk and did not get any errors.<BR /><BR />My first question is because this server has a 64bit processor do I have to use the 64bit disk? I would think that the processor type should not effect how I configure the arrays.<BR /><BR />Secondly, when I got to the OS selection screen, my only choices were 64bit OSs. Can I install a 32bit OS on these servers?
