DL380 G3, Issues installing Win2003 using iLO and virtual media
Using SmartStart 6.4, I can get the server to come up, run all thru smart start, and get to the point where I put in the Win2k3 CD and it shows that it's copying files to the system.
Then it reboots, I remote the CD from my drive, and so far 1 of 3 things happens:
1) System goes thru initial post and then I get a black screen that didn't go away after 2 hours - I assumed it was hung ;)
2) 1 time it ACTUALLY went thru the next step in the process where it shows actually copying the windows install files to the system then reboots and SHOULD have started the actual windows setup configuration - it hung again.
3) 1 other time, it rebooted and threw up a General Protection Fault after post - ouch.
Not sure where we've gone wrong. It sure seems like the whole point of having virtual CD capability with the iLO SHOULD let us build this server remotely. It even seems like it's working, right up until that reboot after copying the windows install files off the CD for the first time... then it just seems to die. Any suggestions, ideas, pointers to a whitepaper I missed somewhere?

Re: DL380 G3, Issues installing Win2003 using iLO and virtual media
just to eliminate that part..
somehow it is sounding like it is a memory issue tryit with minimal memory and if it fails try the other memory.
you did install the array controller driver during windows setup right?? F6.F6.F6

I also did try doing an install of Win2k3 w/out the smart start CD, but it also hung when I tried to give it the correct disk with the drivers. I'm going to try and make a new image of that floppy disk and give it another go today I think, we'll see.

Re: DL380 G3, Issues installing Win2003 using iLO and virtual media
Is the firmware for the ILO is updated.
HP recommends upgrading iLO firmware to version 1.15 (or later) on these servers, and iLO firmware version 1.10 is available from the following URLs:
* Options ROMPaq Firmware Upgrade Diskette for Compaq Integrated Lights-Out Management Controller Version 1.10 - SP19835
* Firmware Upgrade Image for Compaq Integrated Lights-Out Management Controller Version 1.10 - SP19836 (binary image)
Meanwhile i am checking on more information.
The server is installed where in indis.

Prashant S.

Re: DL380 G3, Issues installing Win2003 using iLO and virtual media
Just a correction to the previous post, the latest iLO FW version is 1.55. Please also be aware that FW versions below this on the iLO have a well known security vulnerability (port zero attacks)..You can read all about this at AusCert.
So, please update your firmware to the
latest V1.55
Confirm that the speed/duplex on the Network Interface of the iLo is forced/duplex from switch and the card both end.
Confirm that you are running the required Java Plug in for the ilo i.e. the correct version. This has often lead to performance frustrations!!!
Go through the graphical performance enhancements tricks for the ILO.
I wish you could use the TermSvcsPassThrough for iLOs for the OS install ;)
Hope it was of help and don't forget to assign points:)

Then the system just completely hangs, nothing more. I can reboot and start the entire process, but this is as far as I've ever gotten.
Current system specs, just in case it helps:
-> DL380G3 (just purchased in last week)
-> Running BIOS P29 from 5/1/2004 (v.4.07)
-> iLO running firmware v 1.55
-> 642 controller set as boot controller, 1 logical drive configured (mirror set of 2 x 36G U320 15krpm drives), controller running firmware v 1.92A
-> attempting to install using valid ISOs of SmartStart 6.4 and Windows 2003 using machine on local LAN (same office as server being built)
