THe description says it comes with HP Embedded 4 Port SATA Controller with embedded RAID

Re: ML110 G4 Raid Setup
to see whether its possible to install the OS without raid, boot up the server with smartstart. Then follow to prompts till you come to the smartstart homepage. from there its will tell you the boot controller and the boot controller size e.g. boot controller: 4 port sata host bus adapter, boot size: 120gb.
good luck

Re: ML110 G4 Raid Setup
When I boot the server it doesn't give me CRTL S or anything to configure the embedded raid.
I haven't added any cards just out of the box.

Re: ML110 G4 Raid Setup
100 series in general
but during POST press Ctrl + A or F8
to configure your Array
and to load the drivers for that controller download this driver(during Windows installation)
HP Embedded SATA RAID Controller Driver for Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003
http://h18023.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/26742.html
or see my attached file, if you want to use nlite that is an application that will help you installing windows(unattended installation)
regards

Re: ML110 G4 Raid Setup
You can enter the SATA Configuration Utility with "Ctrl+I" or with f8. Here is why : http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/Document.jsp?lang=en&cc=us&objectID=c00911913&jumpid=reg_R1002_USEN
Depending on that you need 2 different drivers:
When you access it with F8 : http://h18007.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/download/26742.html
When with Ctrl+i , i can send you the driver if you want, can't find link.
You can make RAID 0 and the install the OS.
If this is not what you are asking about, please explain where you get problems with the install.
Kind regards

Re: ML110 G4 Raid Setup
I only put the Operating System on to the original single disk.
I only put Data on to the RAID drive.
There are 4 advantages to this:
1. The hardware RAID drive starts the moment the power is on and is virtually independent of the rest of the computer. It has excellent RAID Array Manager software.
2. You could move the RAID disks and Controller card to another computer in minutes
3. The Windows Swap File and the Data are on 2 separate drives, so the overall system performance is improved.
4. You can rebuild and upgrade the Operating System or re-format the original single disk without disturbing your Data.
I keep working Data on my workstation and I have a backup utility to copy complete files and folders over to the RAID-1 drive on the server as they change.
- Belt & Braces
- LOCKS ( Lots of Copies Keep Safe )
This way I am storing personal Data and family photographs going back to 1984.
Not a very expensive solution and it is very very effective.
Hope that this helps you

Re: ML110 G4 Raid Setup
By default if you have only 1 hard disk it will be setup with RAID 0 automatic.
Try to use usb floppy disk, and when you boot from CD (after Blue screen appears) press F6 and insert driver to floppy disk.

Re: ML110 G4 Raid Setup
I have used this I can Mirror after windwos is installed but I htink this is a software mirror not hardware. All the raid I have configured are ususally by configuring on POSt with ctrl A or similar. If anyone has any other ideas thanks. Thanks for your help but I cannot see how I'm going to get this to be configured correctly.
