Hello,
I have a Proliant 2500 with a Smart-2/P Card running with frimware ver. 4.48B. This Raid card came with the server and I have no issues when it is running alone. I am trying to add a FastTrakTX2 ATA100 Raid card frimware ver. 2.00. I can get this IDE Raid Controller card to work when it’s alone too. I just can not get the two to play nicely. The Smart-2 controller hangs in the "initializing" stage when the IDE raid card is installed. I never can get to the server configuration utility with both cards installed from boot up.
The last thing I tried was booting the server with only the Smart-2 installed. Run the server config utility, then HOT installing the IDE Raid controller. Doing that the utility software finds the IDE controller and installs it. I then go into "view and edit" and make sure the two cards are running different IRQs. Reboot and the Smart-2 card still hangs in the same place. The Server is running the latest bios 4.08 for E24. I have even tried installing the IDE raid card in Win2K, by the way of a hot install. It somewhat works ending up with the IDE card installed with no resources and wanting to reboot. After that the server still hangs on the Smart-2/P card. What do I need to do to get these two cards working together? I can loose the on board SCSI adapter (disable it in bios) if I need to free up some resources.
Thank you,
