Re: SmartStart CD for Windows Server 2008
\mount\dvd\ (configured to look for dvd/flat file; Pressed DVD from MS)
or
\mount\usb1\ (configured to look for usb/.iso; .iso DVD on USB key from MSDN)
i can navigate to both paths and I was able to mount an explore the .iso on another machine.
-Is this something that's going to be fixed?
-Are there any ill effects of installing directly from the Windows DVD and then installing the PSP?

Re: SmartStart CD for Windows Server 2008
I have used all of these methods to install 2k8x64 on multiple DL380's without issue.
I am not trying a plain install; directly off the DVD media that I had tried using with SS. Hopefully I will remember to post an update with the result.

Re: SmartStart CD for Windows Server 2008
At "Browse for Media Souce" I seleted the W2K08 mounted ISO file (ss 64-bit/w2k08) and get invalid entry. I did type the /mount/dvd with no success. I used an ISO of SS and was able to use it successfully with a w2k08 dvd. Has anyone found a solution to this? I mounted and unmounted the image. it the correct image mounted. I dismounted the SS and mounted the w2k08 image. I also tried it as a DVD sound and a flat file souce with no success with either selection. Any help would be appreciated.

"Windows could not parse or process unattend answer file c:\windows\panther\unattend.xml"
I havn't seen this error resolved, did anyone get a positive reply?
I am downloading the HP SmartStart CD x32 and will post if Version: 8.10 (15 Sep 2008) works.
Thanks..Cam

Re: SmartStart CD for Windows Server 2008
In the SNMP configuration page during the Smart Start process use different texts for the monitor and the control community strings. The text in both these fields should not be the same.

Re: SmartStart CD for Windows Server 2008
I'm installing a DL360G5 in a hurry and I'm afraid I'm going to have to redo the whole thing because I without SmartStart, I don't have a way to get the insight manager drivers loaded. I open the System Management Home Page and see nothing.
I'm installing from MSDN media and that provides the files in .WIM format, which SmartStart doesn't seem to want to deal with at all.
Can someone help me just by advising me how to get the HP Insight Manager drivers on without blowing up the computer?

Re: SmartStart CD for Windows Server 2008
We would always get invalid /mount/dvd/
In the end we took out a DVD player from another server and swapped out the one in the new server. The install worked fine!
We can see nothing different between DVD player models, so have to conclude it was just a temperamental DVD player.

Re: SmartStart CD for Windows Server 2008
However, the Proliant SupportPaq from the 8.15 x64 Smart Start did allow me to install the drivers. Whew! Looking forward to my next build when I find out whether 8.15x64 SS will handle .wim file file format.

Re: SmartStart CD for Windows Server 2008
Boot the server follow the steps below:
1) Configure array (either with F8 key to enter BIOS rom of array controller, configure logical drives.
2) Boot Windows 2008 DVD and install OS.
3) Install PSP 8.2 (Product Support Pack) - which installs all drivers.
4) check HP Proliant array configuration utility. check RAID configuration. RAID 1+0, RAID 5+1.

Re: SmartStart CD for Windows Server 2008
Document ID: c01601312
Version: 1
Advisory: SmartStart- An "Invalid Entry" Message Will Be Displayed During a SmartStart 8.10 Assisted Installation of Windows Server 2008 if the "Without Hyper-V Media" Option is Chosen and the Operating System Cannot Be Installed
NOTICE: The information in this document, including products and software versions, is current as of the Release Date. This document is subject to change without notice.
Release Date: 2008-11-05
Last Updated: 2008-11-05
________________________________________
DESCRIPTION
The "Without Hyper-V" is a CD media set from Microsoft that completely disables Hyper-V in Windows Server 2008. The "Without Hyper-V" option is not enabled by default, however, and SmartStart Release 8.10 does not have the needed signatures to recognize the "Without Hyper-V" media. Therefore, if this CD media set is used during an Assisted installation, "Without Hyper-V" will not be an option in the OS selection tree. When browsing the Hyper-V media, the message invalid entry will be displayed when attempting the installation.
This occurs because SmartStart Release 8.10 is missing a data file needed for the Hyper-V media.
SCOPE
Any ProLiant server that support Windows Server 2008 and attempting an Assisted installation of the "Without Hyper-V" media.
RESOLUTION
A future release of SmartStart will contain the missing data file needed to install the "Without Hyper-V" media.
As a workaround, peform a manual installation of Windows Server 2008 when using the "Without Hyper-V" media.
This advisory will be updated when additional information becomes available.

Re: SmartStart CD for Windows Server 2008
Feeding SmartStart the Windows Server 2008 image file that contains Hyper-V will enable the installation process to proceed, although of course, your Windows installation will then include Hyper-V.
I alerted HP Technical Support to this continuing problem, so hopefully they'll escalate the info to engineering.
FWIW, I'm using a 2 GB USB flash drive (actually a 2 GB SD card plugged into a card reader) for the SmartStart "boot disk" created using the HP USB Key Utility, and a 16 GB USB Flash Drive to hold the large Windows Server 2008 DVD .iso image file.
In the time I composed this message and re-checked some facts, the WS2k8 installation completed! Gotta love the speed and efficiency gained by using flash drives instead of CD's/DVD's or iLo Virtual Drives!!! :-)

Re: SmartStart CD for Windows Server 2008
select
mount/dvd/
you will only be able to select something if you select a file first.
mount/dvd/somefile.blah
then remove somefile.blah and leave
mount/dvd
then hit continue this worked for me.
also there is a problem with the install if your snmp public and private names are the same.

Re: SmartStart CD for Windows Server 2008
You would have thought this would have been tested by HP before being shipped -- or that they would at least acknowledge all of the people who have clearly had this issue.
