Problem with ML150G6 and Win 2008 EE 64x

[M Ustariz]

Hi:
I have an ML150g6 server with 1 processor, 8GBRAM, a P410 zero memory controller card and 4 250GB SATA disk in 2 RAID 0+1 configuration

When I try to install W2008 Enterprise Edition 64x (downloaded from Microsoft License Center) via Easy Setup 1.0, after the process format the hard disk, and ask for the OS disk, i puted it in DVD drive but is not reconize. Also, i try to use the .ISO image but i can not eject the Easy CD to put the .ISO DVD

If i try to install using Windows disk and a USB with the P410 controller (downloaded the last version fron the web), the process reconize that the USB have the drivers, but can not install it, because the process repeat again the process to select P410 driver

Someone know how reolve this

Thanks a lot

I have similar trouble with an ML110 server.

Upgrading BIOS and using most recent Easy Setup CD solved it.

Best regards.

OK i see the possible problem...the easy cd not has an option in the os selection for windows 2008 R2 Enterprise Editon. Can I resolve this with the last Easy CD from the web?

Thanks

You can try using ver 2.00 to see if its included

If that doesn´t work, there's another solution:

- Boot using Ez Setup CD
- Select Windows server 2008 std x64
- When it prompts for windows media, take all disk out and turn off the computer.
- Restart, you'll get an error of unattended xml file.
- You have now a command console.
- Insert your Windows server media and execute WS2008_setup.exe (not sure about the name of the file)
- Install as usual.

Best regards.

ok
when i try to execute setup.exe in command promt, i recieved the error "the file autorun.dll can not be loaded or is corrupt...". I should choose Enterprise edition becuase i have 8GB RAM of memory...

Just to be sure... are you using R2?

If the answer is yes, then select R2 on operating system.

Try both std and ee options.

Have you downloaded Easy setup CD 2.0 ?

Best regards

[M Ustariz]

yes, i am using easy setup 2.0, but not exist an option windows 2008 R2, only 2003 R2 option in the OS selection

[Anuar Obregón]

Dont use 2003, drivers are different.

Select 2008 R2.

my friend, in the OS selection NOT found any option for windows 2008 R2, enterprise or standard...I am using version 2.0 of Easy CD
