DL385G5p- Smartstart does not function w/ 64GB of RAM

[wbmd]

Greetings,

I have a DL385g5p with 2 CPUs and 64GB of RAM installed. I am attempting to run SmartStrat 8.60 (64bit ver) and I am recieving a 403 forbidden message when I attempt to run the Maintanence portion. If I back the memory down to 32GB it functions. Memory sticks are 4GB each. Any thoughts as to what the cause might be?

Thanks

Hi There,

this issue was observed with the previous version of smartstart and new smartstart does not have this issue.

Make sure you have latest system bios and there isn't any external storage or third party devices connected.

as a workaround try this:
From the first graphical screen, press the ESC key.
Choose to enter text mode.
At the prompt, type "sos mem=4G" and press the ENTER key.

try with previous version of Smartstart to see if it helps,

thanks,
Aftab

Sounds like driver / firmware conflicts. Did you upgrade the firmware before you did Smartstart?
