Hi

PS : I cant' remove the raid card inside since there is no IT gyus on this remote office

So i want to not receive thios error on this server, is it posible to filter it ?

This is a post error, not a real error. Look in the System Management Homepage and look for the log enties and clear them.

hi

thanks for your answer but i know it's not a real error .. but at every restart (for WSUS for example), it appear and generate an alert that's why i would like to disable it on HP SIM on this specific server if if it's possible (filter snmp ... something like that)

Thanks

Did you check the log on your server, clean the IML to get rif of the event.  If the log is empty you can try to reinstall or update you agent software.

Thanks

Hello again,

Can you post an screenshot of the System Management Homepage of the server concerned ?

in attachement the warning i received in hp sim

[Andrew_Haak]

Helo again,

That is not the System Managment homepage that's the event. The System Management Homepage is located on the destination server on http://machinename.fqdn:2381

On this page you can see the status of your server, if you choose Logs from the menu and look for the Integrated Management Log entry there you should find your Post error. From here you can clear the event. If the event is cleared you won't get the post error in SIM every time you restart the server or restart the HP agents.

hi

i've alrerady clear the IML but i still receive post error at each restart since, in my mind,  it seems to do it's own diagnostic so generate an error since array is no more configured

[Andrew_Haak]

So you clear the IML and then it becomes green, after a reboot the status is Yellow again ?

hi

i'll give you an update on Monday after restart

Hello again,

I looked at earlier posted solutions.  Please look at http://h30499.www3.hp.com/t5/ProLiant-Servers-ML-DL-SL/POST-Error-1785-Drive-Array-not-Configured/td-p/5279455

Your problem seems to be solved here. Look at the section about an array controller with no or unconfigured disks .

[Guillaule]

Hi thanks

so .. it seems there is  no real solution ... 

This error message occour, when a smart array controller find no configuration on the drives.
You will allways get it on the very first boot.
Or if you have a unused array controller in the system, then you will get it on all boots.
