SmartStart 9
Notes
Ultra2 disk drives should work correctly in an HP StorageWorks Enclosure (4300 family) with an Ultra3
controller.
Booting SmartStart 8.x on unsupported servers
Description
Booting SmartStart 8.x on unsupported servers behaves differently based on the server. You might
encounter the following results:
• The system might freeze while SmartStart is loading.
• The system might boot up to a # prompt.
• SmartStart displays access to the Maintenance tab.
• If using an old monitor, you might not see anything on the screen.
• The following message appears, "SmartStart 6.00 and later do not support this
system. Please reboot with SmartStart 5.50 or earlier."
Workarounds
Use SmartStart 5.50 on older servers that are not supported with SmartStart 8.x. For a list of servers
supported by SmartStart 8.x, see the Supported Servers Guide
(ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/c-products/servers/management/smartstart/serversuportmatric.pdf).
Localization
Some strings might not be localized and appear in English.
Launching the Adaptec array configuration utility using a French keyboard requires selection of Ctrl + Q
rather than Ctrl + A during the boot process.
Description
Text included with the SmartStart application and on the SmartStart install poster instructs the customer
to press F8 or Ctrl + A during the boot process to launch the ROM-based Setup Utility, which enables the
user to configure the array controller. This instruction assumes the use of a U.S. keyboard. Because the
A key location on a French keyboard does not correspond with the A key location on the U.S. keyboard,
pressing Ctrl + A on the French keyboard does not launch the Adaptec array configuration utility.
Workarounds
The A and Q key locations are reversed. Press Ctrl + Q to launch the Adaptec array configuration utility.
