How do i install RHEL5 on HP ProLiant ML 1100 Server the easy set-up CD has only windows server

You may need raid controller driver for HP proliant ml 350. Copy raid controller driver in flopy disc, insert it in flopy drive, insert cd in cd driver, boot server from cd and start installation process, as soon as you see Press F6 if you need to install third party scsi drivers or raid controller, press F6 and follow the instruction. It will then ask you to select RAID driver file and then will continue to windows xp installation.

I believe you are referring to the HP SmartStart CD.

Click on download.

Check BIOS for boot sequence. CD-ROM / DVD should be 1st.

Hello,

As long as the server meets the XP minimum spec, you can insert the XP boot disc and reboot your server. As long as the CD/DVD is bootable, you should be ableto install XP without incident.

Good Luck,

windows server 2003 enterprise edition with SP1 or SP2 , can detect
SCSI driver automatically.

windows xp is an OS for regular desktops if you install it on a server you will have problems to find drivers for the different chip-sets embedded i the system board
The operating system that are supported for the server are:
» Microsoft Windows Server 2003 » Microsoft Windows Server 2003 for 64-bit Extended Systems » Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Essential Business » Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Foundation Edition » Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 » Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation Edition » Microsoft Windows Server 2008 Small Business » Microsoft Windows Server 2008 W32 » Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64 » Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (AMD64/EM64T) » Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 (x86) » Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Server (x86) » Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 Server (x86-64) » SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (AMD64/EM64T) » SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 (x86) » SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (AMD64/EM64T) » SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 (x86)

here is the download link for the easy set up cd, this is for the ml110 g5, however it is backward compatible so it should work in the ml110 g4

To install windows server 2003 on HP servers you need Smartstart CD, you can download that cd from hp site:

If you are installing an OS from scratch, download the Proliant SmartStart CD for your server from HP. You simply boot from this CD and follow the instuctions to load your OS. Smartstart will configure your drives, pre-load drivers, and gracefully pass control over to the OS installer.

Are you attempting to boot from the Windows CD?

If you are booting the server from a Windows installation disk and it is unable to detect the hard drive, this typically means the following things.
You need to provide the driver for the RAID controller of the server (this can vary, depending on the version of the ML370 e.g. G4/G5)
If it still cannot detect the hard drive after providing the driver for the RAID controller or if there is not a driver available for NT4, it may not support the controller.
In this case you can remove the RAID set by entering the RAID setup (could be LSI or adaptec). NOTE THIS WILL DESTROY ALL DATA ON THE DISKS THAT ARE A PART OF THIS RAID SET.
