Hi forum,
is it possible to attach an external SAS LTO drive to an DL385 Gp5 with a P400 controller ?
I was thinking of a cable, which I can attach to an internal port and pass it to the outside.
Regards
Volker

I Rebooted my Server, I found the array again Configured as Raid 5 same configuration before it has been deleted, but inside ACU--> View Status and Alert for this logical Drive threre is one Alert. Code Number:786 "Background parity initialization is currently queued or in progress on Logical Drive 2 (1.6 TB, RAID 5). If background parity initialization is queued, it will start when I/O is performed on the drive. When background parity initialization completes, the performance of the logical drive will improve."
I Rebboted my server but there is No Operating System found ??
Is there any way to recover my System again ?

OS won't boot after disk replacement
Hello,
One of the disks was amber blinking so we decided to change it. It seems (after reading some posts here and there) that the correct way of doing this is simply remove the faulty disk live, wait for 30 seconds, then plugin another disk and everything should go fine. I didn't know how to do a disk replacement, and apparently I screwed up. I hope there is some chance to get my OS back to boot. So what I did instead is grab an HP SmartStart CD, reboot the server on CD, and change the disk. The SmartStart assistant was showing RAID problems (like RAID is broken). I didn't get any screenshosts nor logs, so sorry for very vague information but basically it was saying that the 1. the disk was kaput and 2. the RAID was kaput. Then I called a colleague and out of despair we have tried many things, without even understanding what we were doing. For example, we switched all four disks to the right (they were on the left, we kept them in order though), then we moved them back to the left, then we changed the replacement disk with another replacement disk, since the error on the RAID was still there we put on the old faulty disk in the hope that the RAID would get fixed. Eventually the RAID got fixed and the logical volume, but I remember at one time when we rebooted the server we hit F2 and we agreed to lose some data (the message was saying that hitting F2 may cause some data loss), in the hope to get the RAID rebuilt, even with some data loss. So when the RAID got finally rebuilt and all 4 disks were green and there was no error or warning in the SmartStart assistant (the CD software), the server finally booted, but it is stuck at grub level (we have debian linux on it, only one OS, and only one LV in one RAID 5 array of 4 disks, without any spare).
What I am seeing right now is :
GRUB loading.
Welcome to GRUB !
error : unknown filesystem.
entering rescue mode
grub rescue > _
Any idea if this is recoverable ?
Please mention how to give you the necessary information you might need, assume I don't know how to give it to you. This is the first time I am doing this.
Thanks for any help !

How to Format Raid 0, 1+0 or 5 (ML350 G5).
Got a problem where I need to format all 6 of the ML350 G5 hard disks which can be set in a Raid 0. 1+0 or 5 config.
I've tried doing this though Linux by using GParted but it throws up errors.
I've also tried using KillDisk but each hard disk takes 5 hours for just 1 pass.
I've also tried using the Windows 2008 Server CD and I have failed.
I could really use the help because I am trying to keep a job which could lead to a work placement for a computer hardware related apprentiship.
I have lots of desktop experience but relatively little server experience.

Purchase new HP Proliant ML350 G9 Server 765820-421
Hello Community
I want to ask you for purchasing new HP server for my organization. My choise for now is http://www8.hp.com/emea_middle_east/en/products/proliant-servers/product-detail.html?oid=7146997#!tab=specs . The primary targer of server will be, for host OS i think to use Centos 6.7 or 7 and run kvm virtualization with guest OS - Windows Server 2003 R2(because server dont support directly Windows Server 2003). In Guest OS i will deploy only MS SQL 2000(32 bit version and max 4GB RAM Usable) with arround 50 workstation clients daily. Server has CPU e5-2620v3, 16GB ddr4 RAM, 4x300GB Sata disks and storage controller p440ar. Raid level will be 1+0. So my questions are:
1.This server a good choice Is for database?;
2. KVM virtualization(enough hardware resource for host(centos 7) and guest OS(server 2003 R2)? to work optimal together without problems?
Please your recommendations

Move harddrive to other server
Hi there,
I have two companies which I sold a ML310e Gen8 with B120i RAID-controller each. These companies now have merged and want to reduce these two servers to one single server.
Company A has 2 WD RED 3 TB as RAID-1 for OS and data,
Company B has 2 WD RE4 1 TB for OS as RAID-1 and two WD RED 3 TB for data as RAID-1
Since the server of company B has hot-swap drives I want to put the two OS and data drives from company A into the server of company B:
New Company: 2 WD RED 3 TB OS and data of former company A and 2 WD RED 3 TB data from former company B
When I remove the old 1 TB WD RE4 drives and put in the two WD RD 3 TB drives the RAID controller complains about harddrives not in the right place and the ACU shows 4 unassigned drives and no logical volumes.
So my question is how can I boot the second server from the RAID-1 of the first?
Thanks for your help,

ON HP Proliant DL 360 9 Gen - How to install Ubuntu Server 12.04 from USB without Internet Access?
Dears,
I am installing ubuntu server 12.04 on HP Proliant DL 360 server. I downloaded the iso file from ubuntu site and create USB bootable flash using YUMI and universal-usb-installer. The HP proliant server has no cd rom and no internet connectivity.
During installation the ubuntu setup asks for internet connectinn for archive site and download some file.
Is there any way to install ubuntu without internet connection ? to bypass this step and use local file on the flash ?

Intelligent Provisioning firmware updates report wrong version / misdetect
FYI we have recently purchased 2 DL380 Gen 9 servers (Performance). The integrated Intelligent Provisioning is pretty useless on both servers: neither the BIOS update nor the correct versions of the integrated NICs were detected and we had to prepare a bootable USB key with hp SPP 2015.10.0 in order to update the relevant components. the BIOS firmware wasn't even detected by the IP and the 2 firmwares of the nics reported incorrect firmware revisions. What's happening with Intelligent Provisioning? Not much apparently.
