Re: Snap Server 4200 replaced drives how having issues
What Phoenix32 Said,
I added some things to step 1.
jladelfa,
Steps 1, 3 and 5 is what you missed.
When I posted those step I said basic steps. I have posted detail steps on this forum more times than I want to count. The use of the search feature would have brought up a lot of post on upgrading GOS servers. You being a IT person should have known servers use EEC reg memory. My guess is your experience is mainly with work stations not servers.
Any way your answer on what you were doing wrong, has been pointed out. So you should be able to get the 4200 up and running now.
You need to get the PW to GOS v5. To upgrade to v5, it I would revolk the recovery console after upgrading the HD, before the HD is setup for use (no arrays, just OS trasfer). If you wait after it is in use, you really need to upgrade in seq. And there was a major change in disk structure between v3 to v4 if I recall. I would recommend that you always do a clean install if you have that option to you. This way any corruption will not be transfered to the new OS/drives.
