SmartStart 8.7b2 boots into GUI - Proliant DL380 G6
Hi everyone,
So I managed to score a DL380 Gen6 off an auction. The auctioneer gave me a CD with SmartStart 8.7b2 and a flashdrive with the ISO of Win Sever 2008 r2. He said simply place the CD into the drive, boot into the CD through the boot options and you will see a GUI. Use the GUI to reconfigure the RAID to your choice and format the drives. Then use SmartStart to install the ISO of Server 2008 r2.
Following his instructions, I plugged in the server, turned it on. Used the boot options to boot into the CD-ROM, (I have the USB with server 2008 connected in the back of the server). Once smartstart boots, I receive two options to choose from: 1) SmartStart 8.7 2)SmartStart 8.7 with fibre. I chose the former, it then boots into the CommandLine. Unfortunately, I do not know enough Linux to nagivate through the CommandLine and I am unsure of why the GUI is not working.
Could someone guide me as to why I am unable to see the GUI or how to achieve my goals through the command line.
Best
Sibtain

Hi,
Put the CD on the drive, the mount the ISO. When you explore, you will be able to find a windows runable file that will bring a GUI for the updates..

Kingstone
