NOTE: The HP Startup CD-ROM is not bootable.

The detailed instructions relative to each specific step (location of drivers,

workarounds) are provided in the respective NOS chapters (Chapters 2 to 12). The

installation information for the HP utilities is provided in Chapter 13. For the detailed

information on using the HP utilities, please refer to Appendix A of this guide.

Preparing the Server for NOS Installation

NOTE: It is recommended that you do not install any third party adapter until you verify that

the server is functioning properly and you complete the NOS installation.

• • Prepare the server following the instructions in the HP ProLiant ML150 Server

Installation Sheet.

The HP ProLiant ML150 server comes with new hard disk drive(s) that do not need specific setup. If you install additional and USED hard disk drives in your new server:

— Note that most NOS installations remove all data from the hard disk they are

installed on. If you wish to use your additional hard disk drives to access existing data in your new server, HP recommends that you install and configure this (these) hard disk drive(s) AFTER completing the NOS installation.

— If you wish to recycle used hard disk drives, use a utility such as FDISK to

erase all data and partitions from your hard drive.

HP ProLiant ML150 Server NOS Installation and Software Guide 1-3

Before You Begin

• HP recommends that you update your server BIOS with the latest system BIOS version to enjoy the most recent compatibility fixes. Insert the HP Startup CD- ROM in a Windows PC and follow the on-screen instructions. For more information, refer to the HP ProLiant ML150 Server Operations and Maintenance Guide.

Section 8. Troubleshooting

This section will help you resolve some of the most common installation problems associated with Windows 2000.

Tip #1. Windows 2000 Installation Halts about Three Minutes after Starting to Boot from CD-ROM

When installing Windows 2000 on any X86 system with more than one hard drive it is possible to experience the following error:

Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact technical support for assistance. The following status codes will assist them in diagnosing the problem. (0x4, 0x1, 0x0, 0x0)

The cause of this problem is that the NTLOADER is encountering a duplicate hard drive signature. This signature is calculated by the NTLOADER code after reading a specific sector offset from the hard drive. The following list provides some of the things that can cause a hard drive to have duplicate signatures:

1. Low-level formatting the drives. We reproduced this on several systems at HP.

2. When you have a set of drives previously used with a DAC and move them to a

SCSI adapter.

2-14 HP ProLiant ML150 Server NOS Installation and Software Guide

Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Small Business Server 2000

3. Using a disk imaging utility to duplicate a hard drive will create a duplicate signature.

At this time, Microsoft has no fix for this problem. For more information please refer to Microsoft document ID: Q226361.

HP recommends that you use the following workaround for this problem.

1. If you experience this problem, remove all drives with the exception of the target boot drive. Install Windows 2000 and then add the removed hard drives to the system after installation of the OS.

2. Run the Disk Management tool to prepare the remainder of the drives to be used in the system.

a. Boot the system with a Windows 98SE recovery diskette. (This version

supports FAT32, which works on larger hard drives.)

b. Perform an FDISK on each drive. c. Install Windows 2000.

Tip #2. Configuring the Parallel (LPT) Port for ECP Mode

The device manager may not show this port on the list when not configured in ECP mode.

HP recommends that you systematically configure the LPT port for ECP mode. Use the following procedure to change the setting:

1. Press the Delete key during power on self-test.

2. Select Advanced > Super IO Configuration > Parallel Port Address to 378.

3. Press the Enter key and select ECP from Parallel Port Mode.

4. Press the Enter key and the F10 key to save and exit.

HP ProLiant ML150 Server NOS Installation and Software Guide 2-15

Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Small Business Server 2000

Tip #3. Windows 2000 Drivers Signatures

Windows 2000 checks for digital signatures on driver files to help maintain system integrity. During the installation or update of a driver, if there is no matching signature file Windows 2000 displays a “Digital Signature not Found” box.

•

To expedite release of new products, HP may ship drivers without signature files. All Windows 2000 drivers provided by Hewlett-Packard are submitted to Microsoft for certification testing. Upon completion of testing, Microsoft produces signature files. HP then posts the revised driver package at

http://www.hp.com.

•

If a signature warning is displayed during installation of a driver, you may override the warning. We recommend that you check the HP Website for the latest driver package. If available, install the new driver.

•

You can elect to have Windows 2000 ignore signatures: Open Start > Settings > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Driver Signing. This is helpful if you

are setting up multiple systems.

•

Digital signatures are a powerful way to ensure system integrity as you add drivers to the systems - whether provided by HP or others.

Tip #4. Windows 2000 Recovery Options

In the event that the current installation of Windows 2000 fails to boot (this might happen after installing a new driver, component, software, etc), Windows 2000 provides the following recovery options to help you gain access to your Windows 2000 installation to replace damaged files and services for troubleshooting purpose. HP therefore recommends that you install the Recovery Console (refer to option 3 below) to enhance the system configuration.

Recovery option #1: Last Known Good Configuration

•

Activated by pressing the F8 key during the system process of Windows 2000 and selecting Last Known Good Configuration from the menu.

•

This boot mode is used in the case that the system fails to boot after installing a new software or driver. The system will use the previous registry setting to initialize and boot the system.

2-16 HP ProLiant ML150 Server NOS Installation and Software Guide

Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Small Business Server 2000

Recovery option #2: Safe Mode Boot

This is activated by pressing the F8 key during the OS boot. It provides a minimal configuration with required drivers and services. The safe mode boot provides three options:

•

Standard safe mode boot – provides no network services or drivers.

•

Networking disabled – excludes network services and drivers.

•

Directory services restore mode – brings system up with directory services disabled with the intent of recovering active directory. Safe mode boot is guided by the registry key hklm\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot with the use of the Minimal and Network subkeys. The IO Manager and Service Control Manager look at the registry to load the driver and services. Such approach avoids loading a problematic driver or service.

•

Command prompt – provides an alternate command shell CMD.EXE instead of the explorer. This is dictated by the registry key: hklm\system\CurrentControlSet\Control\SafeBoot\AlternateShell

There is a Safe-Mode boot loophole. Since NTLDR loads “Boot Load” drivers, these drivers bypass the IO Manager's Safe Mode check.

Recovery option #3: Recovery Console (RC) Boot

The Recovery Console (RC) can be used when safe boot fails. You can enter RC using one of the following:

•

Booting from Windows 2000 CD-ROM

•

Installing the RC boot on the system

It is recommended to install the RC immediately after installing Windows 2000.

Start RC Booting from Windows 2000 CD-ROM

If you have a need of booting the Windows 2000 recovery console but this feature is not installed on the system, use the following procedure to boot the RC from the Windows 2000 CD-ROM.

HP ProLiant ML150 Server NOS Installation and Software Guide 2-17

Installing Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Small Business Server 2000

1. Insert the Windows 2000 CD-ROM and start the reboot sequence.

2. Press any key when prompted to start booting from the Windows 2000 CD-

Section 7. Troubleshooting

This section will help you resolve some of the most common installation problems associated with Windows 2003.

Tip #1. Windows 2003 Drivers Signatures

Windows checks for digital signatures on driver files to help maintain system integrity. During the installation or update of a driver, if there is no matching signature file Windows displays a dialog box advising that the driver has not passed “Windows Logo Testing,” the user then has the option to Continue Anyway or Stop Installation.

•

To expedite release of new products, HP may ship drivers without signature files. All Windows drivers provided by Hewlett-Packard are submitted to Microsoft for certification testing. Upon completion of testing, Microsoft produces signature files. HP then posts the revised driver package at http://www.hp.com/.

•

If a signature warning is displayed during the installation of a driver, you may override the warning. We recommend that you check the HP Website for the latest driver package. If available, install the new driver.

•

You can select to have Windows ignore signatures: Click Start > Control Panel > System > Hardware > Driver Signing. This is helpful if you are setting up

multiple systems.

3-12 HP ProLiant ML150 Server NOS Installation and Software Guide

Installing Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Small Business Server 2003

• Digital signatures are a powerful way to ensure system integrity as you add drivers to your systems - whether provided by HP or others.

Tip #2. Windows 2003 Recovery Options

In the event that the current installation of Windows 2003 fails to boot (this might happen after installing a new driver, component, software, etc), Windows provides the following recovery options to help you gain access to your Windows installation to replace damaged files and services for troubleshooting purposes. HP therefore recommends that you install the Recovery Console (see option 3 below) to enhance the system configuration.

Recovery option #1: Last Known Good Configuration

• • Activated by pressing the F8 key during the system startup process of Windows

2003 and selecting Last Known Good Configuration from the menu. This boot mode is used in the case that the system fails to boot after installing a

new software or driver. The system will use the previous registry setting to initialize and boot the system.

Recovery option #2: Safe Mode Boot

This is activated by pressing the F8 key during the OS boot. It provides a minimal configuration with required drivers and services. The safe mode boot provides these options:

1. Safe Mode – indicates that Windows only loads required files and drivers (i.e. mouse, keyboard, base video, etc.), excluding network services.

2. Safe Mode with Networking – indicates Safe Mode that includes basic network services and drivers.

3. Safe Mode with Command Prompt – Same as Safe Mode except that a command prompt is started replacing the default user interface.

4. Enable Boot Logging – This option outputs the loading of drivers and services by the system to a file. The file (ntbtlog.txt) can be located in the %systemroot% directory. This log file can further assist in determining the exact cause of system startup problems.

HP ProLiant ML150 Server NOS Installation and Software Guide 3-13

Installing Microsoft Windows Server 2003 and Small Business Server 2003

5. Directory Services Restore Mode – This option is used to assist in restoring the SYSVOL directory and the Active Directory services on a Domain Controller.

Recovery option #3: Recovery Console (RC) Boot

The Recovery Console (RC) can be used when safe boot fails. You can enter RC using one of the following:

• • Booting from Windows 2003 CD-ROM

Installing the RC boot on your system

It is recommended to install the RC immediately after installing Windows 2003.

Start RC Booting from Windows 2003 CD-ROM

If you ever need to boot the Windows 2003 recovery console but this feature is not installed on the system, use the following procedure to boot the RC from the Windows 2003 CD-ROM.

1. Insert the Windows 2003 CD-ROM and start the reboot sequence.

2. Press any key when prompted to start booting from the Windows 2003 CD-

ROM.

3. For Windows Small Business Server 2003, press the Enter key to continue on the Setup Notification screen.

4. Press the F10 key on the Welcome to Setup screen.

NOTE: This is an undocumented option. The bottom of the display will ask you to press the Enter, R, or F3 key.

5. The system will display a menu asking to select the instance of the NOS you want to boot. For example:

1: C:\WINDOWS

6. Type 1 and then press the Enter key.

7. Type the Administrator password when prompted.

8. At the command prompt type

9. Type

6. At the command prompt type

7. Type

exit when done troubleshooting.

help and proceed to achieve your objective.

NOTE: The file access security can prevent you from getting to certain files.

Recovery option #4: ASR (Automated System Recovery)

ASR provides a backup of all of the necessary system state data, system services and disks associated with the operating system components. Use ASR as a last resort option, only after the previous mentioned Recovery options have been exhausted.

ASR is a recovery system that contains two parts: ASR backup and ASR restore.

ASR backup can be accessed through the Automated System Recovery Preparation wizard located in Backup. To access Backup, click Start > All Programs > Accessories > System Tools > Backup. Follow the on-screen instructions to create the ASR set.

HP ProLiant ML150 Server NOS Installation and Software Guide 3-15
