RE: PowerEdge R520 installation

2013-05-01 Thread Nigel Parker 
Ah 
Got it 
After some reading I can boot into something called the lifecycle from
here I have a gui to configure the raid and then install the OS, it
creates a temporary folder puts all the driver in then asked for the DVD
of windows, must patch it and I can see my full raid volume, it then
carries on installs windows and all drivers 

Phew.. Just shows that I should have RTFM
Thanks for the people who posted back, panic over :-)

I mean I cant create a windows volume over 2TB I can see the remainder

I presume the UEFI boot mode writes something to the disks and this code
isn't on the dell build disk

Ok this may be a dumb question but...

We purchased a new Dell poweredge 520 everything was ok; but Either we;
or dell had missed something on the config and it was setup as a raid 5
without a hot spare 

No problem just trash the array and recreate it with a hot spare done
Quick config It has 8 x 600 gb drives
7 in one array and 1 as a dedicated hot spare 

I had to use the Bios boot mode and not the uefi and now the server
can't use anything other than 2GB Started again and selected UEFI boot
and put in the del build CD and it refuses to boot from this disk 

I can boot from the windows 2008 server disk via UEFI but of course the
drivers are missing for the disk and would prefer to use the dell server
assist 

So

HELP :-)

I believe you would need to convert that new partition to GPT (and you need
to boot with UEFI for a > 2 Gb partition.
