![]() ![]() I've had basically the same problems as many have mentioned above while dealing with x345's using the ServRAID 5i. Tom Barnett RE: Ghost problems with IBM xSeries Raid5 (IS/IT-Management) 8 Feb 02 11:36 I have been pestering IBM for 2 months and they have not responded. I follow the procedure AGAIN, and put the same Ghost image on top of the same partition I just created, and it starts jsut fine. When I reboot the machine, I get the message "Windows 2000 could not statr because the following file is missing or corrupt: \system32\ntoskrnl.exe" I run Ghost and click Local/Partition/From Image and then create a partition and pull down the image. I boot from a network diskette and map a drive to the share with my image. I then create the system partition and exit ServerGuide. I create a RAID1 set for the OS and RAID 5 the rest of the drives (I have tried different combinations of RAID1 & RAID5 to see if this may have been the problem). On the new machine, I boot with the ServerGuide CD and wipe the drives clean and re-initialize the array. I create a Ghost image of the partition - not the entire disk, since I am using this image for serveral models (x342, x360, x232) Then we are installing apps onto the new server that has been created from the image to create machines with exchange, web, infrastructure, application. I install Win2k Server and a few apps - we are creating a base image for all of our servers - and then I run SYSPREP and image the partition with Ghost. The IBM partition is created and I continue through the ServerGuide version of the Win2k installation (which is bad by the way.) NOTE: I also used UpdateXpress CD v1.04 to update my firmware. I am using the ServerGuide 6.06 CD to setup the drives.
