slow ml350 g5

[deheugden]

i own a ml350 g5, a p400 and a e200i array controller. 2x 74.5 gb harddisk(raid 1+0) and 3x 160(raid 5). Both connected to the P400.

The memory is 8x2GB DDR2-667 Fully Buffered ECC DIMM samsung memory.

I installed vmware 5 and sbs2011. But it takes ages(6 hours) to install the sbs.

Is it somehow possible to find out whats causing the slow installations?

thanks in advance.

Hi,

Could be something with the hard drives, Can you please post the ADU report here 

Boot the server from the Smart Start 8.70B and browse through to ACU and download the report

i am using vmware and installed a virtual client. smartstart is giving me popups when i try too install array software. it seems its impossible to install??

If it is a vmware, you will have to take the server offline and generate an offline ADU report by booting the server from smart start dvd
