Re: Blue Hardware Malfunction Screen on LC2000r server
Becuase if so, removing the hardware will not remove the driver.
I would reload the OS if it is NT.

Re: Blue Hardware Malfunction Screen on LC2000r server
Wouldn't Win2003 server reload the same old bad drivers again if I reloaded the OS?

SolutionThe first thing you want to do when you get a hardware malfunction is to check the Hardware Event Log. The easiest way to do that is to create a boot floppy from the following download:
http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=50440&prodNameId=19399&swEnvOID=54&swLang=13&mode=2&taskId=135&swItem=ns-11635-1
Boot the server to the floppy and see if it shows any hardware events.
Try that and let us know what you find,

Re: Blue Hardware Malfunction Screen on LC2000r server
Thanks for that advice. I see the following error multiple times. However, the date doesn't seem to jive. The system date shows correctly while in windows. It should say today's date, as I got the error just now. Maybe my CMOS battery is dead? I do have it updating the time from another server...
I have 4 PC133 256MB SDRAM chips filling the four slots that are recommended for the server. I have already tried removing the RAM from the slot labeled "1", but still got the error. I don't have any RAM options in BIOS, such as error scrubbing. Apparently they are not ECC. I read that non ECC chips can ignore multiple bit errors, but in this case that doesn't seem to be happening.
511 01201 08/05/06 08:09:18 Multiple-bit error in memory slot 1 on bank/board 1
Is there software or a patch I can install to just scrub these errors?
Thanks Glen

Re: Blue Hardware Malfunction Screen on LC2000r server
Check the part numbers on the RAM. The 256MB sticks for this server should have a factory part number of D8266A. If you use non-ECC RAM, the error-checking circuitry on the system board will attempt to correct any memory errors but fail because the RAM doesn't support it. Unfortunately, there is no option of disabling the ECC functionality of the server. Once the RAM issue is corrected, you can clear the hardware event log using the same utility or, if you get back into Windows, you can use Instant TopTools to do that.
Let us know what you find out,

Re: Blue Hardware Malfunction Screen on LC2000r server
Ok, right on, I understand now how to assign points and I'll take care of that. We had one Micron ECC registered, synch, 128MB chip laying around. I put it in, and the server has been fine since, allbeit slow like molasses. I had bought the other RAM with the part number you mentioned, but they sent third party clones. Apparently, it was ECC and registered, but still did not work. So the company is switching them out for us at no or little cost.
Now I've got another problem - in all the hardware testing to find the resolution to the blue screens, I lost my initial RAID 1 configuration on my RAID adapter card, and am using the embedded SCSI A controller. I have six drives, and I once had them configured as three logical drives of two physical drives each. Now I've got mismatched drives, the mirroring is out of synch. Two of the drives are not even recognized as online by the OS.
For example, on drive 0 (1st to the left when facing the rack mount server), I have the OS. I'd like to get it mirrored on drive 1, next to it, and similarly for the other application logical drive and admin logical drive. THe last time I tried to do a "rebuild" in NetRAID of the out-of-synch drive with the OS drive, it wouldn't boot and I had to do an ASR. So I'm gunshy. Any advice? If I install the RAID adapter and try to do an ASR that was built on the SCSI A configuration, to the logical drive, it won't continue. To be sure, RAID 1 is not possible using the embedded RAId, correct?
Another question - is NIC teaming possible on this server to speed up throughput"

Re: Blue Hardware Malfunction Screen on LC2000r server
You've got all kinds of problems, don't you? Here's what you need to do:
1. You need to determine which drive has what information on it.
2. You then need to re-create your RAID-1 arrays.
So, to start, use the NetRAID Express Tools to create a single RAID-1 with 2 drives (any 2 will do), but fail one of the drives and try to boot the O/S. It is critically important that you do NOT initialize the array as that will wipe everything. If it boots to the O/S, you've found one of the O/S drives.
Then go back into NetRAID Express Tools and fail the online drive and force the failed one online. Restart the server and see if that is the other drive in the O/S Mirror.
Once you have found out which drives have the O/S, leave one of them online and rebuild the other so that both halves of the mirrors are identical.
Next, clear your config and recreate your O/S RAID-1 AND one other RAID-1. Repeat the process of failing one of the drives in the 2nd RAID-1 and booting to the O/S. This way you can determine what is on that drive.
Carry on in this manner until you have figured out which drives are part of which mirror and re-create your config.
You will want to make sure that you DO NOT try to boot up with both halves of any mirror online until one has been rebuilt to match the other.
Let me know if there's anything that seems unclear and I'll try to elaborate.
Good luck,
Sean T. Craig Sr. C.E.T., M.C.P.
P.S. There is no embedded NetRAID in an LC2000. The onboard controller is just a standard SCSI controller with no RAID capability.

Re: Blue Hardware Malfunction Screen on LC2000r server
Re: Adapter Teaming. HP Recommends an Intel Pro 100 Chipset NIC. That's what your embedded NIC is and will certainly make teaming easier. Next you need the Intel ProSet Utility. You can download the latest copy from Intel at this link:
