HP ProLiant DL160 G5 Storage-Server - Manual (Page 22)

NOTE:
The HDDs included with the ML110 G5 2 HDD 320 GB SATA storage server are configured for software
RAID fault tolerance using the motherboard SATA controllers. In the event of a hard disk failure, user
intervention is required to rebuild the arrays. Microsoft Disk Manager is used to present the HDDs to the
system as dynamic disks. The primary OS logical drive resides on physical disk 1 and is mirrored on
physical disk 2. The data volume is the second logical drive mirroring the remaining space on disk 1 with
disk 2.
NOTE:
The hardware RAID configuration information listed for the DL380 G5 applies to all DL380 G5 models
except for the DL380 G5 1.16 TB SAS model.
NOTE:
In the HP Array Configuration Utility (ACU), logical disks are labeled 1 and 2. In Microsoft Disk Manager,
logical disks are displayed as 0 and 1. For HP Smart Array configuration information, see
http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/proliantstorage/arraycontrollers/ .
The DON’T ERASE logical disk supports the recovery process only and does not host a secondary
operating system. If the operating system has a failure that might result from corrupt system files, a
corrupt registry, or the system hangs during boot, see “
System recovery ” on page 153.
If the data volume is not carved at the factory or during the installation process, it must be configured
manually by the end user. Be sure to back up your user data, and then use the System Recovery DVD
to restore the server to the factory default state as soon as conveniently possible.
Default boot sequence
The BIOS supports the following default boot sequence:
1. DVD-ROM
2. HDD
3. PXE (network boot)
Under normal circumstances, the storage servers boot up from the OS logical drive.
• If the system experiences a drive failure, the drive displays an amber disk failure LED.
• If a single drive failure occurs, it is transparent to the OS.
Accessing the HP Storage Server Management console
Before accessing the HP Storage Server Management console, verify that the storage server is
completely installed in the rack and that all cables and cords are connected.
To access the HP Storage Server Management console, you can use these access methods:
