We have a ML350 G5 with the 128 BBWC version of the E200i smart array controller. There are 2 arrays set up - Array A is 1 RAID 5 logical drive composed of 3 physical drives (each 750 Gb in size) and Array B is 1 RAID 5 logical drive composed of 3 physical drives (each 1 Tb in size). One of the 750 Gb drives failed. Instead of purchasing another 750 Gb drive I wanted to purchase 3 drives (each 1 Tb in size). What is the procedure I need to go through to replace the failed 750 Gb drive and the 2 still functioning 750 Gb drives in array A? I want to end up with Array A utilizing as much hard drive space as possible in a 3 drive RAID 5 set.

Two mirrored drives have failed and we can't access our data
Hi everyone,
We have a proliant Ml350 G6 with 1 logical drive and two mirrored drives.
The drives are all SAS DF0146B8052 (HP P/N : 454228-001).
The Os is Microsoft 2008 Standard x64 Edition).
The two mirrored drives failed and are not recognized by the bios.
As mentioned in the user guide of HP Proliant (P.10) The default parameters of the server make it not starting and we get this message : Logical Drive X Status = Failed.
The guide mention the possible causes : the Data Guard function is activated and two drives failed/or the server is in mirror mode and two mirrored drives failed.
In fact we are sure that our two mirrored drives are failed but we haven’t found how to deactivate Data Guard Mode or the mirror mode…
The attempt to recover the data in the logical drive (which is recognized by the bios) failed : we have recovered all the data but it was corrupted : the names are right, the file extensions too but the content not. In some files (excel) we found the mention « crypted ». Obviously, it’s the work of Bitlocker which prevent the data of the drive to be copied by recovering the drive.
So we tried the following solutions :
We tried to repair the two mirrored drives (by writing an updated firmware provided by Hp) but no result.
We tried to change the bios setup from embedded mirror settings to other settings (We have found this solution somewhere) so the server will start with only the logical drive and good data (because Bitlocker will start with Windows) but it was negative= we have not found this bios setting in the bios.
We have tried (We know this surely to be a mistake but we hope it have not cancelled the possibility of recovery) to rewrite the partitions with testdisk (the partitions are 2 and recognized by testdisk and other partition softwares) and now we have this message on the boot attempts : 1234F.
Before this, we have tried –more than once- to update the server with HP Service Pack but the server is still the same… the drives too..
Can anybody give us the good way to recover or/and restart the server, please ? Thanks in advance.

silly questions but is the smartstart CD the only way to setup RAID10.
I will be installing ESXi5.5 on the server...

ILO won't send test alert emails to local SMTP server
So I'm having a strange issue. In the alert email section in the Management section, if I put in my local LAN SMTP server, iLO refuses to actually send the test alert email when I hit the send test button. I mean if I look in the iLO log it doesn't even show the test alert was sent. Of course I have the email address, domain, and port set as well. I'm putting in the IP address as well and not a domain name. Hell, the ip I'm putting in is even on the same subnet that iLO is on so there shouldn't be any routing issue.
What's crazy is if I just put in any other name in their server field like "makeup.smtpserver.com", and hit test iLO will actually fire off the test email as evidenced by the iLO log.
Any ideas on why it's refusing to send alerts to a local subnet address?

HP DL380GEN9 unable to install windows when bios is in UEFI mode
I have 3 DL380Gen9 server already patched with April HP Service Pack and the bios in uefi mode. Tried to install window 2008 r2 with intelligent provisioning or manual os install.
Both state the disk is 0mb. But if I changed the bios mode to legacy, it able to show the disk size and window able to install.
I test to install with window 2012 r2 o uefi bios but same problem. Then i disable the uefi optimized boot and tried to install window 2008 r2 and 2012 r2.

Extend RAID 5 Array + How to increase unallocated disk space in O/S
Hi All,
I have got a Proliant server running Windows Server 2008 R2.
I currently have 2 Arrays (Mirror - O/S + RAID5 - Data)
I am looking at adding an extra (Same) disk to the 3 disks in RAID5 and then Expanding the Array and then Extending the Logical Drive.
I am at the stage that the disk is in and showing un-allocated and I have the Extend option. I will kick this off over a weekend when there is lower disk rights going on and away from backups (Will make sure I have good backup).
My query is how do I then use the un-allocated space within the O/S. I am sure I will see (in disk manager) the un-allocated space once the Array part is complete but have read different ways of using this, not all of it adds up though so a bit dubious.
Some say you have to clear the data some say just use Partition Magic to increase the space (Does free version allow this).
Any info on this part would be much appreciated, spent some time trying to find good details on this part.
Thanks,
Tom.

HP DL380 Gen9 with Smart Array B140i Controller - Legacy BIOS Issues
Hello, I'll try to keep this as short as possible…
I have a machine as follows:
----------------------------
- HP DL380 Gen9
- Optional Media Bay + DVD Reader
- Smart Array B140i Controller (the basic one)
- 4 SSD SATA Disks
The goal I need to achieve is:
------------------------------
- Install Oracle VM 2.2.2 in LEGACY BIOS MODE (it's based on RHEL 5.x, probably 5.3)
Problem explanation:
--------------------
Due to poor product description from the Vendor, prior buying, I now find myself with a useless piece of iron (B140i Controller simply doesn't work in LEGACY BIOS MODE. It just works in UEFI MODE).
I'm also doubting of the additional DVD Reader. In fact, if I put the machine in LEGACY MODE (let alone the fact that the Disk Controller won't work), also the DVD Reader appears to fail (if I put in a CHECKED AND WORKING Installation Media for my OS, it is simply ignored: it just goes straight to PXE Boot).
If I try to install in LEGACY MODE from USB Stick the installation screen comes up (let alone the fact that the Disk Controller won't work), but I don't want (when the Controller will be fixed) to install from USB Stick, for a series of reasons I can't explain here.
Please note: just to be sure, I've checked that the DVD Reader works in UEFI Mode. I've put in a UEFI-Compliant Installation DVD (Windows 2012 R2) and all works smooth when in UEFI (and the B140i Controller comes up too).
Finally, THE QUESTIONS:
-----------------------
(1) I guess I need to buy a new Disk Controller. Any suggestions on WHAT Controller to buy? It has to:
- Be the cheapest BOOTING AND WORKING IN LEGACY BIOS MODE
- Preferably it will have Hardware RAID (not Software RAID like the B140i). Not mandatory, though
- Preferably it will support just SATA Disks, not SAS. Not mandatory, though. Just trying to save money here
- It has to support my already bought 4 Disks (HP 240GB 6G SATA, 2.5 Inches, Solid State Drives SSD)
- It will have 8 Disk Slots available, and if I'll add 4 more Drives later, I'll have to be able to create an independent RAID5 Volume on them, leaving the other Volume already present untouched.
- It will have Write-Back Caching capability. Is the Cache Battery included?
(2) When the new Controller will be in place, and ready to boot in LEGACY MODE, are we sure that the additional DVD Reader, in the Media Bay, will work as well? My fear is that it is somehow controlled by the ORIGINAL B140i Controller that, if I understand well, is going to be installed even after adding the NEW Controller (maybe I'm wrong? My understanding is that it is sort of "part of the original motherboard"). Therfore it won't work when I'll boot in LEGACY?
(3) Any other recommendations/hints regarding the goal I'm trying to achieve, and the way I'm trying to get there? E.g. other known pitfalls like this one of the Disk Controller…
Thanks in advance for any help, it would be GREATLY appreciated. This is crucial to me and I'm running out of time, and I don't trust the Vendor anymore to ask these questions!

How to Troubleshoot FBWC for P411
I have a P411 Smart Array with a 1GB FBWC module which is giving me a 1783 Error in the BIOS on Boot. I removed the FBWC and the error went away but of course the P411 isn't much good without it. My question is, how do I tell whether the problem is with the Memory Module or the super capacitor module assembly. If it's just the capacitor, then would I be able to replace it with part number 587324-001 ?

I've installed SPP 2015.04.
Because I don't have all original medias, I don't know how I can use this server to read/write on DAT72 & LTO3.
- Is there a software bundled with the server ?
- Why software (free or paid) can we use ?
