Settings=None <- this line was for updates and I think this was one of my problems early on, by changing it to "none" I was able to skip over about 44 updates and make the install much faster. Remove this line, it's added when you install WHS2011 Processed=true <-You will see this line if you tried to install earlier. My modified cfg.ini file was: (remove the bold text!)
#Freenas hp mediasmart server ex470 drivers
So far no drivers for the EX47* (I'm hoping someone will soon but it doesn't look like it will happen). Someone has created drivers for the 49* and other machines but :) Oh I should add that the drive lights do not light up and the health light continually blinks after install. I hope this helps and eliminates some of the problems I ran across. I re-sized two of the partitions but kept the OS partition at 60GB and everything works great. I pulled the harddrive, hooked it up usb to my desktop and used Acronis Clone Disk. Keyboard 7 times and hit enter." We can't simply plug the key in and it loads.Īnother great site to see what is happening because we can't see is:Īfter my install I decided to remove the 2TB drive and use a 500GB.
The key must be in the bottom usb slot in the back, then hit your down arrow key on your usb I don't remember which site I followed but the instructions here are pretty similar: Alsoīecause we have the EX470 we have to follow the "hit f12 immediately (and I mean IMMEDIATELY!) when starting the server, do this for about 10 seconds or so. It worked!Īnother thing was I couldn't get my usb bootable using the instructions on the website so I used diskpart instead. Ini file and removed the "processed=true" line that WHS had put in when it tried to install it earlier and then tried again. Using a brand new drive you wouldn't have this problem. Information was there after the partial install so I thought formatting and then deleting would be better (not sure if it made a difference but it did install after that).
One thing I had noticed was when I had only deleted them some old Instead of only deleting the partitions to start again I formatted them first and then deleted them leaving the drive unallocated. I did a few things so I'm not sure what fixed it. I took out the drive and hooked it up to my desktop and saw the three partitions and tried to decipher the log files but couldn't find anything wrong. No matter what I did, even the ip address was a jumble of letters and numbers, the install had stopped. I threw in a 2TB and everything was going well until I saw "server" in my network (not the name I had chosen in my ini answer file). Not many places state this, also 2MB RAM and a 圆4 processor 1.4Ghz minimum requirements). My first mistake was using an 80GB harddrive (WHS2011 requires a minimum 160GB but And after quite a few hours and many different sites I got it installed.
