How to assign Disk 0 and Disk 1 on a DL380 G5 with two disk controller

We have two servers each equipped with a P400 Raid Controller having 4*72 GB disks and a P800 Controller having 12*146GB disks.
Due to use of a clustering software, I need the servers disks to be assigned in the Windows 2003 ServerR2 Disk Management as disk 0 for the P400 and disk 1 for the P800. Where can I change this aasignment.
The P400 controller is in slot 1 and set as the boot controller, but do show up as disk 1.
I have attached a screendump showing the configuration.


Can anyone help me on this

Thanks in advance

You probably need to configure each controller's SCSI ID. This will probably be after the BIOS prompt prior to the boot sequence.

I have not been able to find any SCSI config for the P400 and P800 controllers.
I have updated BIOS and Firmware to the latest verisons but withoout any luck.
It seems that the assignement of the psycical device number is done after some mechanism that is apperently not configurable in server BIOS setup and/or the controller firmware.
I will move the question to the Proliant Forum to see if I can get deeper into this.

I will move the question to another forum under ITRC for Proliant in order to ask there.
