HP ProLiant MicroServer Gen8 - RAID1 Configuration

[Blusion85]

Hi,

My server is still in warranty. But the funny thing is, that I can't download the SPP.

But I will register the serial.

Can I install the OS on the server?

Thanks,

Blusion.

Try to go to

https://support.hpe.com/hpesc/public/home

and click

Manage my contracts & warranties

then you should be able to get the SPP from here

I'm sorry..

Link support agreements

Link HP Care Packs

Link warrenties

Batch link tool

Once you are in "Edit my contracts and warranties" you should add the servers serial, then (still signed-in) go to the download page I linked above to download SPP. Once the OS is installed, mount the SPP and run hpsum.bat in hp\swpackages.

My results:

Linked support agreements

No entitlements found.

Linked HP Care Packs

No entitlements found.

Linked warranties

No entitlements found.

Once I put the serial number from the HP MicroServer Gen8, I get nothing.

I'm thankful that you're helping me, but what I do doesn't work. Maybe it is that I've no contract at HP, and that's why I can't download SPP.

Strange. I can't install the OS.

I get:

Load driver

A media driver your computer needs is missing. This could be a DVD, USB or hard disk driver. If you have a CD, DVD or USB flash drive with the driver on it, please insert it now.

Note: If the installation media for windows is in the DVD drive or on a USB drive, you can safely remove it for this step.

When I get this lovely server, I did the DVD rom on the correct port on the systemboard / motherboard.

EDIT:

I try to make the USB bootable and try to install the OS from there.

You likely need the driver because of the B120i controller. I would try intelligence provisioning.

[Blusion85]

OK, I will do it.

Need I go to configure and install or perform maintenance.  And If I need to go configure and install, need I de DVD where the OS on it for installation?

[Torsten.]

Configure and install. You need the DVD, because you need an install media.

google

"HP Intelligent Provisioning User Guide for
HP ProLiant Gen8 Servers"

OS is been installed on my server with RAID1. It works.

I want to say thanks for all the help that I've given from you'all.

And I write it down for the next time that I'm not forgotten, like what I said that  it was for me some years ago.

Many thanks!

Sincerley,

Blusion.
