ML370 G1 Boot controller change

[Andrew chloupek]

I'm hoping some one will still know this... I have a ml370 g1 that i'm trying to boot from a new SATA 3rd party raid. but the smartstart fails at the point where it copys the utilitys to the drive with a no drive on boot controler error. I know the issue is that it still sees the onboard controler as the boot controller. If i go into the bios, i can change the boot order on the onboard, but the 3rd party raid in slot 3 is listed as a "mass storage" controller and does not give me a boot order option. So I guess the question is is my Bios too old to know i can boot from that? Or at one point (long ago) there was a advanced options switch in the bios, do i need to get into that? or is it just not posible to boot the ml370 from a 3rd party controller. If i can do it but i just lose the bios utilitys, that fine, just need to know that. Thanks for all the help in advanced.

Have you updated the bios to the latest version? Download the firmware update CD iso image and run it on your server.

What O/S are you trying to install? You may have to skip the assisted installation and install the HP software after the O/S is installed. If you are installing Windows, make sure you install the windows SNMP service before you install the PSP.
