I feel like such a N00B or NewB... SmartStart 8.15 is crap for SmartArray controllers.
Per HP support download 8.60 and try again. Works... Thanks All.

Searched the HP knowledge base and downloaded the firmware update, removed one CPU, updated firmware, reinstalled CPU and off I went. Annoyed doesn't even begin to describe how I felt at the time. Now I laugh about it. -Jeff Steward On Thu, Jan 27, 2011 at 12:11 PM, Richard Stovall <[email protected]> wrote: That's just absurdly poor quality control.

An older disc may not have the necessary drivers. ________________________________ From: Glen Johnson [mailto:[email protected]] Sent: Thursday, January 27, 2011 11:23 AM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: RE: Dumb Dumb question installing server 2008 on HP DL380 G6 Things I've ran into that caused os install problems. Do you have a flash drive plugged in anywhere on the server while running the install. Also a bad server os DVD, Make sure the server has all the latest updates from Compaq, especially the P400.

Can not find the drives? In BIOS array configuration I have 6 146GB SAS drives in a RAID5 logical disk. SmartStart can not find it. Just running Windows setup sees the drive, formats the drive but then cannot find a drive to install the OS too??
