DL100 rebuild problem
I'm rebuilding a DL100, which I purchased without drives. Having made a search, I notice variations on the same problem appearing - here is my situation:
I am suffering the same issue several others have had; the HP restore DVD saying that it doesn't detect a RAID controller, despite a RAID controller working apparently fine.
I have a ProLiant DL100 Storage Server 1 TB
model 367989-B21. The Adaptec SATA RAID controller is 2410SA firmware Build 7244 (version 4.1-0). I have four identical new 250G drives in place, and have created a Primary and Secondary OS and Data partitions . With or without the partitions the same message is given. I've tried 9G (0,1), 9G (2,3) RAID 1; 12G same. I'm using the HP ProLiant DL100 Quick Restore DVD 4.3 370817-003.
I'm running a DVD drive into an internal IDE port rather than over USB (various comments lead me to belive that the drive is not the problem with DL100s, although I understand that USB drives have been an issue on other servers).
What factors cause this failure? Partions or their lack? Partition numbering? Partitions sizes? Partition naming? Partition status? Other hardware? DVD drivers? Lunar cycles?
Is there a force install? Is there a hardware prep tool (like Compaq SmartStart)?
Things I could try: imaging the DVD on to a USB hardrive. More partition juggling & renaming (the partition numbers start at zero - don't know how to fix that).
The last thread I read that had this problem fixed it with a full replacement (I don't think that is viable in my situation).
Any thoughts or suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Re: DL100 rebuild problem
I haven't tried to update the RAID controller firmware yet.
I did pull the external SCSI card and put in an Emulex FC HBA, but would expect a different error message if this was causing a problem (it's not loading its BIOS yet, no RAID attached).

Re: DL100 rebuild problem
When you talk about size, do you mean Primary OS partition size? I have no problem with increasing that, as 12G is probaly too skimpy these days.
I might be able to find two maxtors, but probably not four. Will that cause problems if I try to initialise two discs only?
Thanks again

Re: DL100 rebuild problem
but you can mix up maxtor and seagate if
you get 250G maxtor you must have 500G seagate in order to fix geometry issue
if you have only 250G seagate so order 160G
maxtor and you can create a 630G raid4 for data
hopes it's clear

Re: DL100 rebuild problem
You can find the HP caddy (model PA509A) on eBay or here:

Re: DL100 rebuild problem
Well I seem to have found a gold line of DL100 power users so I am going to try to put my question... Thanks in advance.
1) I am about to purchase a DL100 (NAS1500) but I am missing the trays for the sata drives. Anyone would know if I can install drives without the trays in this unit ? Or have any ideas on the tray part #, searched HP extensively.. obviously not enough...
2) Can I use larger drives, say 500GB or 1TB hard drives ?
3) Can this device be installed with Linux for example ? There is a Win license sticker but I don't have the media.
4) Is that box "almost" like a normal server, or is it so specific, nothing can be done outside of HP's planned usage ??
Wow, lots of questions ?? I guess I am trying not to get stung by a dead duck that will be collecting dust... yet an other one !!
I really appreciate an response to any or all my questions. Thank you in advance.
