Proliant 1850r bad hdd

[Alex Augustin]

Hi,

I have a bad disk in a RAID array on a Proliant 1850r. The controller card is the Smart Array 221. Is there a silent keystroke I can use to access the ROM based util's on the card? I am not presented with during POST and do need to try to initialize the bad drive to begin post-mordum on the box. Any help is appreciated.

2. F8

do this when the controller is showed on POST

Thanks for the reply but neither of those commands didn't work.

maybe you can try using the smartstart CD 5.5
and the array configuration utility
