Deployment HP ML 350 G6

The arrival of HP ML 350 Server G6 makes me happy. So far more struggling with the server that is not clear. Finally can also try a pretty good server.

When the server comes, should do in-depth check. Both physically and check through the BIOS. It is highly recommended for engine ignited. This is to ensure that the machine can run normally. Who knows the vendor did not install properly as hard disk, memory or other.

To do deploy, HP provides tools called SmartStart. Used to facilitate optimizing the user in accordance with standard servers from HP. Whether it was driver or other supporting tools. Not closed the possibility we could do the installation manually.

Things to note during installation is to make sure that the HDD is used could be identified and made logical drive. Can be done through tools from HP called the Option ROM Configuration for Arrays (ORCA). If you want to mengoprek BIOS, can be done from the RBSU. In RBSU can also diaktivkan virtualization to hyper-v.

Well because this server is good enough, eventually also installed Windows Server 2008 64 bit and occupied by the MS SQL Server 2005 64 bit. Tests conducted showed the server performance is quite good and more hurried than the another servers that previously occupied.
