Configuring an EMC Boot Device

HP ProLiant BL20p G2

Windows 2000 OS

Installation

Select NTFS file system format, which is suitable for most sites unless you have other specific requirements. Then press ENTER. (For background information on the choice of the NTFS file system, refer to Microsoft Knowledge Base Article 0184006.)

Setup now formats the partition, copies the Windows system files to the partition, and starts rebooting the server.

11.When prompted, remove the diskette and CD-ROM.

If your system prompts you to press any key to boot from CD-ROM, do not press a key; allow the system to boot from the HBA adapter.

After booting, the system continues installation, displays the Windows banner, and begins autodetection of mass-storage devices and adapters.

12.Follow the on-screen instructions to complete the installation.

When the Completing the Windows Setup Wizard screen appears, click Finish.

13.If you plan to add SCSI disks in the future, you should disable the BIOS for the managing SCSI controller so that the system does not attempt to boot from those disks. For information, refer to Preparing the Server on page 3-18.

14.Install the latest EMC-approved Windows Service Pack as explained in the Microsoft documentation.

For HP ProLiant BL20p G2 servers:

1.If there is a local hard drive installed, remove it. This drive can be reinserted after the installation is completed.

2.Open an interface window using the RDP console by right-clicking the target server and selecting Power Control/ RILOE Interface.

3.Delete the target server (BfS Server) from the RDP database if it exists.

4.Reboot the BfS server. (At boot time, the newly created LUN should be detected.)

The BfS server should now be seen in the RDP New Computer pane.
