ProLiant Servers - How to Install OS on Embedded Sata Raid Controller with Out Floppy Drive or Slipstreaming OS CD
ISSUE:
Most of the 100 series and 300 series servers does not go with the floppy drives and customer not able to install OS as he is not able to inject/supply Raid controller Driver. Customer has to use a Floppy Drive or a Slipstreaming OS CD.
SOLUTION:
Follow the steps below and there is no need to use Floppy Drive or a Slipstreaming OS CD:
1. Install the OS with Embedded SATA RAID Disabled (No Drivers or F6 required) on one Harddrive.
2. Once OS is installed, Extract the Embedded SATA RAID Drivers to a folder. HP Embedded SATA RAID Controller Driver for Windows 2000/Windows Server 2003:
3. Go to Control Panel-> Add New Hardware->Device is connected->New Hardware->Raid Controller->Have Disk->Browse to the folder where the Embedded SATA RAID Drivers were extracted. Select the .inf file->Install Adaptec Raid Driver.
4. Restart the Server go to BIOS enable the Embedded SATA RAID.
5. Press F8 and go to Sata Raid BIOS->Configure the Drives->Create Array->Raid 0/1 A warning message will appear " Warning: Configuring the drives will erase all Array information from the selected drives, if that drive is part of an array. Arrays using any of these drives as members will be affected! Do you want to continue?(Yes/No): ". Press "Y" to continue.
6. If Raid 1 is selected it will ask you what is the Source Disk, select the Right Disk in which OS was installed previously. Warning message might appear again. Select " Y".
7. Rebuild will take sometime, once rebuild is complete restart the server.
Once rebooted Raid would be detected and windows would boot up, in windows it would detect new hardware and Adaptec Raid drivers will be installed. Now Server is built migrated to Raid Successfully.

Problemele apar la pasul 5 cand dupa instalare Win2003 Server. Nu imi ramane ptr selectat decat al doilea drive (decat Maxtor din a doua figura) si implicit sa nu pot sa creez RAID din Bios.

Folosindu-ma de Configure Drive din meniu reusesc la revenire in Create Array sa realizez (sau cel putin sa vad ca e realizata) o configurare ptr. RAID1.

Totusi la bootare, apare fereastra de Win Server si dupa cateva secunde sistemul se reseteaza si apare
mesajul de eroare de mai jos. Acesta ramane pe ecran mai putin de o secunda.

Daca pe urma setez sa am RAID0 atunci sistemul porneste si totul merge.
Bineinteles ca vad cele 2 hdd-uri, al doilea fiind deja la fel cu primul, cel putin in configuratia dinainte de bootare :).

Unde ar fi problema? Sau ce tb sa fac ptr a ma folosi de posibilitatea de RAID1 a serverului?
