subsystem configurations.
Check the Setup Utility, and the SCSI Configuration Utility.
If the HP NetServer is configured with a disk array, check the disk
array utility.
If the error is a network-related problem, determine if the server has
enough memory and hard disk drive capacity. Consult your network
operating system manual.
