I need to create full image of ML370

[edwis]

Hi

I got proliant ML370 G3 server. It came preinstalled to connect to a domain and with some spec software. But that domain wont be available until 2004-07-01. So I want to back up all my system to HP AIT tapes. It has 4xSCSI 36.4 GB, and windows 2000, redhat installed. I can't logon into any of the installed OS cause password has to be verified by the domain controler. I used ghost 8, but it saw only 2 disks and i created images of them. Is it safe to format hdd's and install other OS ?
Any thoughts and sugestions would be apreciated.

If this box is not a domain controller there should be a local admin account. When you tried ghosting the server you say it saw only 2 of the 4 disks. This is because two disks are probably mirrored (you can confirm this using the array config utility). If the software config is not a big deal, you may as well re-build the box.
