Hi all,
I'm not sure If I post this message in correct topic of this forum, if not, I'm sorry.
I've an HP MicroServer Gen8 and I'm very happy with. But for security reasons I want to mirrored the two 500GB drives to RAID1.
It's for me along time ago to configuring RAID and I forget things quickly. I use this server for private and office use.
I've two hard drives from total diskspace of 500GB (both are original HP disks). I saw that the HP Dynamic Smart Array was not enabled in the first boot sequence when I start the server. So I go to BIOS for setup. I followed this vid: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QSQWJCbvpAA (from HP, the uploader is someone else btw)
When I was in the BIOS I go to:
1 System options
2 SATA Controller Options
3 And then Embbed SATA configution
4 I get an warning message pop-up, when I want to enable and I press on enter (I followed exactly the tutorial on youtube)
5 Enable Dynamic HP Smart ArrayB120i RAID Support -> I press on enter
6 Then I go to Advanced Options and press on Advanced System ROM Options and I enable the Virtual Install Disk
7 I go look back on System Options if I see now that the Dynamic HP Smart Array B120i RAID Support is enabled, but I didn't see it.
In the video is ROM - BASED Setup utility, Version 3.00

And in this server is :
ROM - BASED Setup utility, Version 3.00

Small info: I see under PCI Device enable/disable that the Dynamic HP Smart Array is enabled. But howcome I cant see it under System Options?
Thanks in advance!
Sincerly,
Blusion.
