    Posted: 25 April 2015 at 11:33am
I don't know if anyone can help, but...
I've just bought a little DL380 G6 for home to retire a couple of G5s I am running, does anyone know if there is a SmartStart version that let me deploy SVR2012 to a G6 box?
 
I only have Gen8 machine with a warranty so my Hp login is not letting me look for SmartStart as G8 has EFI stylee stuff so no S-Start need, if anyone has the latest S-start iso and it supports 2012 could they please throw it on an FTP as am about to put a 2u server through my office window...

Being a Dell man I have no idea which version you need, but came across this

http://smartstart.software.informer.com/8.7/

Probably no good as I'm sure you Googled but sometimes the obvious...blah

I feel your pain, hate days like that, makes me want to grow food or something real.
It's everything, not everythink!

server 2012 is supported but not via smart start...
you have to download the drivers and supply during installation.

Thanks, that was pretty much what I ended up doing, much as I swear by HP Proliant, their support of legacy hardware is a bit random, the tag number bought up no 2012 drivers but I ran the firmware/software maintance pack which made short work of the rest...

Hoping the OP won't mind the thread-hijack-ette, as it seems to have resolved ....

Got a mini-tower HP baby server here .... ML110 G4. Not being used - and OK - I guess the skip is now beckoning .... but _maybe_ someone could use it.

Its a single socket dual-core Xeon @ 1.83GHz if I remember rightly. I put 2GB of ECC non-reg memory into it .... passed all the HP diagnostics - has a fairly "proper" RAID controller (Adaptec I think). Well - its a proper server motherboard - and should still do a job of work for a (very) small office, or for someone learning server admin mebbe.

Not after any money (but would need a little drinking money for the memory I bought for it).

Don't all rush at once now  :-)

It's not really a crapper, the ML series let you mount standard drives (no £30 hotswap caddy required) will run 64Bit, a dual core 1.8 won't need a 16A supply, ideal for slamming Linux or W7 Ultimate on as a media server/Nas box in a house....

Careful with the positive comments now mate .... you'll be causing a stampede to my house :-)

But yeah - if I had a labouriously collected set of movies/music to stream through the house - and was choosing between a "high-street" NAS box and somehting like the HP box - I know what I'd choose ... (although you have to justify the extra leccy consumption).
