Re: Booting / Installing WIN2003 Enterprise from SAN on RX2600
I have also tried the "Load OEM Drivers" option from Smart Setup 3.10, but still everything loads up until Windows is started. There it bombs-out and state that no Drives are connected. This is surely just a driver issue? I am using the Emulex 9802-E FC HBA, and the drivers downloaded from Emulex Website.

Re: Booting / Installing WIN2003 Enterprise from SAN on RX2600
Sorry, when I got the document yesterday it had all N's in the column! Either that or I am blind :)
Anyway, as well as the drivers you will need the efi bios utility available here:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?pnameOID=402380&locale=en_US&taskId=135&prodSeriesId=402378&prodTypeId=12169&swEnvOID=1060
In the Zip file there is a text doc called U500A5.txt. Follow the instructions for EFI and it should get you up and running. This doco is a bit messy, but all the info you need is there.
Hope this helps
regards
Iain Ashley
PS You must use a GPT partition, not a MBR, because 2k3.64 can't boot from a MBR partition.

Re: Booting / Installing WIN2003 Enterprise from SAN on RX2600
Just more infomration on the same if some one can share. How can we provide the drivers or does we require any kind of drivers under EFI to recognize the cards installed it can be SA/NetRAID/FC.

Prashant S.

Re: Booting / Installing WIN2003 Enterprise from SAN on RX2600
The Firmware and Driver for the EFI can be loaded using the Smart Setup CD. The card however needs to be supported from Smart Setup point of view. If not, a bootable CD should be created including the EFI Driver, as well as the Emulex Configuration tool. It can then be accessed using the drvcfg in the Shell. We are going to redo the installation on 22/10/2004, and fully document the exact procedure. I will then post it here.
Currently the OEM driver for the LP9802-E on the Smart Setup CD is not working. The way to fix this is probably to update the Smart Setup CD with the correct driver? The point being, with no stiffy drive, it is quite a challenge to load the correct driver into the "virtual floppy" As you can not simply cut the driver to CD and access it by pressing F6. Also, as said earlier, the complete driver is 1.7MB, and you only have 1.4MB available to add the driver. However, removing \ia64_free\elxadjct.pdb (Symbol file for adjunct driver)I managed to downsize the driver by 835KB, and Windows accepted it.

Re: Booting / Installing WIN2003 Enterprise from SAN on RX2600
As promised, here is the full rundown on how I got the installation done.
Thank you to all that replied. The procedure's supplied by all the relevant parties are correct, the only issue is that the driver for the Emulex card on the Smart Setup CD is not working.
