Storageworks NAS software error after installing 2003 SP1

[gertjan slagt]

Hello,
After I install windows 2003 SP1 on a dl380G4 storage server I get the message:
"The server you are running cannot run storageworks NAS software properly".
One minute later the system reboots.
Now I know that I had to install WSS service release 5.6 first before install SP1. (HP support document c00616839).
I can start the NAS in safe mode.
Can anyone give me the best solution for this problem? Remove SP1 or install WSS 5.6? Is there maybe a script or register-key change?

Thanks!
Gertjan Slagt

And I think the customer advisory posted there is applicable to you.

Hi Stephen,

I tried to update the system ROM but get an error mesage "hardware or software not correct version".


At last we decided to try a de-installation of SP1 (fingers crossed).
This was the solution!. the Windows server is now booting up in normal mode and working OK.

Now waiting for the CDrom from HP and install HP Storage Service Release first!!

same problem
I resolved restarting windows on safe mode
and I rename the file c:\windows\system32\romcheckservice.exe to .old.
I restart the server and all work fine.
