It's an old server we've had in storage for a while, everything fires up ok, but I think there's something wrong with the SCSI card in there - all the drives were attached to it and while it was working fine a few years ago it seems to have given up the ghost now. I've put the array on the onboard SCSI controller and it's picking the disks up, so I'm formatting away (as they're not the originals) and hopefully will have something to show for it this afternoon.
I did try putting Server 2K on an IDE disk in there, hoping to bypass all the SCSI nonsense, but though it'd install to the drive on a reboot it wouldn't pick it up. The farce that passes for a BIOS on this HP doesn't show the drives you've got attached and has some very strange boot order options.
It's detecting the drives ok (1 x 72GB and 4 x 32GB) when I'm firing up the server install, I've chosen the one I want to install on, got rid of any spurious partitions that existing before, so fingers crossed it'll work. :-Y |
