Compaq ProLiant 5000 Migrating to the Compaq ProLiant 5000 Server in Microsoft - Page 14

480A/0197 WHITE PAPER (cont.) ... Step 5: Configure the New System To configure the new system, follow these steps: 1. Turn off the power to both the new and old systems. 2. Remove the access covers and prepare to move the drive subsystem and other peripherals to the new system. Because the exact task depends on what options are migrated to the new system, follow the instructions included with each option that you are migrating. The following suggestions and warnings might save you some time: • Take precautions against electrostatic discharge. • Number the front of the drives before you remove them from the cabinet to make sure they remain in the same order during the migration. • If you are migrating an array controller to the ProLiant 5000 Server for drives installed in the front hot plug bays of the server, relocate the narrow SCSI cable from the top of the hot plug drive bay to the narrow SCSI connector on the system I/O board. This is located just above the wide SCSI cable that is connected to the hot plug drive bays from the factory. This narrow cable feeds the CD-ROM drive and any tape drive you might have installed. CAUTION: You must reinstall hot plug drives in the exact order to preserve the array configuration during migration. Failure to due so can result in the loss of all data. 3. After all the options are installed, power up the system with the Compaq Support Software CD in the CD-ROM drive to configure the hardware. If you are migrating a SMART Controller or a SMART-2 Controller, the system cannot access the system partition of the hard drive until after the array is configured. 4. For systems with SMART-2 Controllers, you must boot from the Compaq Support Software CD again and select Configure Drive Array. The SMART-2 Controllers recognize the last known configuration of the array and list it as the default configuration. Accept the configuration without change and save it. CAUTION: Any modification to the array configuration that differs from your previous configuration results in the loss of all data. 5. After completing the above migration, remove the Compaq Software Support CD and restart the server to enable the configuration. Step 6: Reinstall the NetFlex-3 Controller When changing from a NetFlex-3/E to a NetFlex-3/P Controller, you must delete and reinstall the controller for it to function properly. For more information on configuring the NetFlex-3/P Controller, see the Compaq White Paper, Compaq Advanced Network Error Correction Support in a Microsoft Windows NT Server Environment (document number 353A/0696). After the new system starts, follow these steps: 1. Select Control Panel¡ Network from the Main program group to start the Network Settings dialog box. 2. Highlight each protocol, select Configure, and write down all configuration details. 14
