ML570 Server
Hello. My name is Rick.
I recently recieved a server from a friend of mine.
This is a Compaq Proliant ML570. It has 4 scsi 10000 rpm 18.x gig drives. It has one ide cdrom and one 12/24 gb tape drive. It also has a one floppy drive. I have added a scsi cdrom drive. edit: oops. It is a G1 machine. 2/4 Pentium iii Xeon and 1 GB of ram.
I can get it to install RedHat 8.0 but it will not boot.
I believe the two sets of two scsi drives are not seen during boot because a driver is not loaded so they can be seen.
I guess I need a boot drive.
What kind of configuration did this machine have and where can I get SmartStart 5.5?
Thanks.

Re: ML570 Server
I hope it is okay to reply to my own post.
When I got the machine it would not boot. The Interlock would stop with a Processor 3 code.
I bypassed the interlock and turned on the video also and got a Logo Screen. Then I was able to get an IDE DVD Rom to boot a cd/dvd. I wish it had a usb/pci card for my mouse. My friend has new PS2 mice.
I hope to buy two more 700 MHz Xeons and some more ecc memory to run a newer version of Linux.
Fedora 30 Lab Astronomy gives me an Illegal Opcode.

Re: ML570 Server
Seek and you shall find.
Why was it difficult to find this link earlier.
This is the link to Smart Start 5.5 and others.

Re: ML570 Server
I guess I am at a stand still. Downloaded the 5.5 CD and it will not boot. I used a DVD-R and a DVD+R.
Tommorrow or later I will get some actual CD's.
Installed RedHat 8.0 a few more times and no boot.

Re: ML570 Server
Hi ,
I understand that you are trying to install RHEL 8.0 on a Proliant ML570 Server .
Please be informed that ML570 G1 server is an archived product and it is not showing in as a supported
Kindly refer the following HPE Servers Support & Certification Matrices link ;

Sanil

Re: ML570 Server
Thanks for the reply.
It is not RHEL as far as I know. It was in a Red Hat Unleashed book.
I am not for sure what the lowest version of SmartStart I can use.
As far as support is concerned, I am okay with it being a legacy device.
Since it does not have any support I guess I can call it quits here and look to finish it up on my own.
Do I need to label this as Solved?

Re: ML570 Server
I finally found a Smartstart 5.50 cd on hpe.com. it boots but has the error 76.
I think I need the Erase Software.
I guess a blog would be more ideal than a forum.
Thanks.
edit:
I found out that there is some Diagnostic Software on the cd.

Re: ML570 Server
How does someone access the System Configuration Utility when the cd does not boot?

If I recall, the only way to access the utiltiy was either from the system partition (if one was created) or by booting the CD. Those systems pre-date support for booting from a USB key. That system was retired from production in late 2003.
there were a couple of differernt controller drivers depening on what controller was in the server.
THere was a Red Hat 8.0 this was not an Enterprise version, that naming wasn't really used then. There was also a Red Hat Advance Server version which was v 2.1 during this servers time The older drivers are still available
