DL160 G5 Smartstart?
I just need to configure the disks as a mirrored pair so that I can install the OS.
Thanks,
Alastair

Re: DL160 G5 Smartstart?
yes you have to configure RAID normally with F8 and install driver manually, usb floppy disk W2003, usb key for W2008
driver depends on which controller server are using

Re: DL160 G5 Smartstart?
I booted from the Windows 2003 CD with the driver on an attached USB floppy. I choose F6 in Windows picked up the driver. However Windows got so far before informing me I had no hard disk configured.
Your post mentions F8 rather than F6. Am I missing something?
Any further pointers would be greatly appreciated.

Re: DL160 G5 Smartstart?
which controller your server is using?
SATA embedded or any other?
in order to provide you the correct driver link
when I said F8 that is during POST you configure your HDDs using F8 on POST, you configure your RAID level there
when you start the OS installation you have to press F6 to load driver

Re: DL160 G5 Smartstart?
Can't help but think HP are missing a trick here though - having to resort to a USB floppy drive and disk to set up a brand new server? Just as well I found a disk in a dusty cupboard. You probably can't buy them any more :)

Re: DL160 G5 Smartstart?
Yes - That's the biggest problem reported with the DL1XX and ML1XX Series servers apart from driver support and accurate documentation. HP really need to start thinking about the equivalent to Smartstart for these models as customers get very frustarted with them.
Some people just give up with so well done for keeping at it.
