Page 3: Abstract
Abstract This integration note provides information on installing, implementing, and troubleshooting Microsoft Windows 2000 Server and Windows 2000 Advanced Server on HP ProLiant servers for network administrators and field service engineers. It contains information on Windows 2000 implementations with Microsoft Service Pack 4 (SP4) applied. It also includes information on the lifecycle status of the Windows 2000 product family at Microsoft and provides information about Windows 2000 Server availability and support on ProLiant servers from HP.

design changes requests, and non-security hotfixes. The Windows 2000 family entered the marketplace in February 2000 and remains a robust, mature product. While HP continues to support Windows 2000 Server family on HP ProLiant servers that were announced before June 30, 2006, HP no longer sells the Windows 2000 product. Contact a Microsoft reseller for product information.

Support software The following software packages facilitate the installation, optimize system performance, and manage the Windows 2000 environment: • Management agents • Server Diagnostics • PSP for Windows 2000 Prosignia and HP ProLiant systems sold prior to development of ROM-based setup tools (RBSU) use the following CD-based utilities to configure the server prior to OS installation: •...
Page 20: Smartstart Configuration
• Array Configuration Utility (www.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpsupport/index.pl) • System Configuration Utility (www.hp.com/cgi-bin/hpsupport/index.pl) These utilities are not required for servers with RBSU/ORCA. SmartStart configuration If performing a fresh installation to an empty hard drive, HP recommends that using SmartStart to configure the server. SmartStart provides assisted, manual, and replicated installation approaches to setting up the pre-OS installation and installing the necessary software after the OS installation.
