Compaq ML350 New Startup - Not Sure what's next

[adam3291]

I have a Compaq ML350 / 5300 Array / 3 - 18.2 gb drives. I've got it hooked up and booted it up with the 5.30 Smartstart CD in it but I'm not sure what to do next. Aray Config Utilty, Update System Config???? From what I've read, I know the CD will set up the OS (w2k server) but not sure how to get to that point. Is there or does anyone have any paperwork on how to set one of these up correctly. I want to make sure I'm doing this correctly.

Thanks,
Jim

See FAQ55-1670. This is the FAQ I wrote for this forum on How to install a server using the Compaq Smartstart CD. Please note that this is (almost) out of date and will be re-written shortly.

Just choose system erase (data destructive) and it will start the process to what you're looking for. SmartStart thinks the server is already confgured.
