Following his instructions, I plugged in the server, turned it on. Used the boot options to boot into the CD-ROM, (I have the USB with server 2008 connected in the back of the server). Once smartstart boots, I receive two options to choose from: 1) SmartStart 8.7 2)SmartStart 8.7 with fibre. I chose the former, it then boots into the CommandLine. Unfortunately, I do not know enough Linux to nagivate through the CommandLine and I am unsure of why the GUI is not working.
I have an old HP ProLiant dl380 G4 server whose hard disk needs to be formatted. Unfortunately, I cannot seem to do so. For one, it doesn't seem to be detecting any Hard Drives attached to the Server. The Hard Disks show up in the Ctrl+A option (SCSI Configuration Utility). Also, while inserting the SmartStart CD (7.01 or 7.04), it shows a message that no logical drives are found and there aren't any options to create one.
