Configuring Smart Arrays

On HP ProLiant DL785 G5 nodes with smart array cards, you must add the disks to the smart array before attempting to image the node.

To do so, watch the screen carefully during the power-on self-test phase of the node, and press the F8 key when prompted to configure the disks into the smart array.

Specific instructions are outside the scope of the HP XC documentation. For more information, see the documentation that came with the HP ProLiant server.
