Proliant ML350 G4P: Unable to restore using HP Restore CD

[jonathansa]

Hello,

   I am trying to restore an old ML350 G4P server using the HP Quick Restore DVD (part: 395760-003). The problem is that it keeps trying to restore to the Storage Array instead of the OS array.

I have set up the boot controller order to have the controller that is storing the OS array be the first in the list.

When I try to restore, the Restore CD displays the following error:

Quick Restore has detected a drive error and cannot continue. Either the mirror on the OS drives is broken or being rebuilt, or the drives need to be configured as shown below.

Array A: Consists of two logical drives on the two 36 Gb physical drivers in slots 0 and 1.

Logical Drive 1:

   Raid: 1

   Size: 27555 MB

   Sectors: 32

   Stripe Size: 256

   Array Accelerator: Enabled

Logical Drive 2:

   Raid: 1

   Size: 7171 MB

   Sectors: 32

   Stripe Size: 256

   Array Accelerator: Enabled

I have configured the drives exactly as above but for some reason it keeps showing that error. 

When I did a System Erase using the SmartStart CD, it installed the OS to the Storage Array and not the OS array.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you,

Jonathan

hi,

Please attach an ACU report here.

Seems that the restore CD would only attempt to restore to the Controller in slot 5, not slot 3. I physically disconnected the controller for the Storage array and was able to restore.

Thanks for the reply though!
