greetings
i have a few dual P3 Compaq 1850R units and use compaq smartstart 5.5 on them before a CentOS 4 load
i have acquired some dual P3 Compaq DL380 G1 i.e. Generation 1 units and am wondering which specific smartstart download i should be using for them from this URL below
h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/subscription/ssdownloads.asphttp://h18004.www1.hp.com/support/files/server/us/subscription/ssdownloads.asp
would someone please share their experience on this so i dont have to waste time and bandwidth?
thank you and kind regards
Robert:
The latest SmartStart (7.40) should work with the DL380 G1. The latest firmware update cd (7.40) should work on it as well. I must admit I haven't tried since SmartStart 7.10 a little while ago. I know for sure the latest firmware update cd will _NOT_ work on the 1850R. The NIC is not supported and causes it to hang on startup. Good luck.
