proliant ML370 - trouble after running system erase utility

[apache_1]

Hi guys,

I need your help (again!). Following is the sequence of events that lead to my problem.

1. To be able to "quick install" a program (e-commerce suite), I decided to run a system erase on a testing server that we had and install a fresh windows 2000 system on it. (that was one of the requirements of being able to do quick install)

2. While I was shutting it down to reboot it from smart start 6.4 that I have, I saw a red light flash on one of the hard drives, I pulled it out to take a look at it and forgot to reinsert it.

3. I booted from the smart start cd and ran the system erase utility.

4. Now, when I try to run the set up utility, it checks the hardware and complains of missing array controller, which I guess was the other drive. On running the array config utility, it does not find the required drivers.

What should I do?? Can I start from scratch?? NOw every time the system boots it compalins of "SCSI bios not installed"!..

Please help me as I am not a sys-admin and alwasy find myself drawn into one server thing or the other..

Thanks a lot in adavance.. Keep up the good work!!

actually, it seems that the primary controller has failed.. it does not read that drive and complains that scsi bios can not be found.. i guess my last choice would be to boot directly from a windows 2000 cd and forget smart start..

pleae help!
