SolutionWhat i can suggest update the BIOS of the server and controller firmware. Use the smartstart cd then ACU to veiws the status of the array.
Or
To resolve this problem, change the Smart Array 3200 Controller's "Maximum Boot Size" setting from "Disable (Maximum 4GB Boot Partition)" to "Enable (Maximum 8GB Boot Partition)". This is done using the Compaq Array Configuration Utility (ACU) as follows:
1. When creating the logical drive using the ACU, select the "Advanced" button on the "Create Logical Drive" screen,
2. Select "Enable (Maximum 8GB Boot Partition)" on the "Advanced Features" screen,
Please try it might be a help

Prashant S.

Re: Proliant 6000 - Smart Array 3200 - Losing Partitions
"Enable Max Boot" setting usually specifies whether you wish to use 32 sectors/track as oppposed to 64 sectors/track. Accordingly, you can have a boot patition >8GB or not.
I am not sure how this setting is related to your problem. Happy to be guided tho ;)
To get back to the original question, my approach would be as below:
1. Check in the event logs and please post any errors. I am sure you have got some.
2. Check in the IML (integrated management log) of the server for any hardware errors.
3. Check for management agents information/survey.txt (survey utility info) about any system specific hardware errors.
4. Confirm if you are running the latest FW on the system BIOS, array controller's FW, disks FW and latest proliant support pack or device drivers.
5. Could you also run Array Diagnostics Utility and see if your drives are developing any SCSI irrecoverable errors.
6. Check for any viruses.
7. Could you remember any recent change after which you have started witnessing these problems.
8. Could you also monitor system temperature.
9. Check if you have got caching enabled on the actual disks from within Windows?
More info please...
Hope it was of help and don't forget to assign points:)

Re: Proliant 6000 - Smart Array 3200 - Losing Partitions
That's the strange thing, I'm not getting any error codes for hardware or software.
I haven't applied any patches or changed any settings. I shutdown the server and when it comes back up it loses a partition, usually D: drive. I've spoken to my colleagues and they haven't changed anything?
Best Regards
Darren
