I'm trying to build up a media and file server around a HP Proliant Microserver with two 3T drives and a 16G thumb drive. I tried several times to install the .ISO via a USB CD drive right to the thumb drive in the Microserver with no success. The microserver would not boot from the .iso CD. So I took all the hard drives out and left only the CD and the thumb drive and installation worked fine.
Next problem. When I inserted the hard drives and rebooted, the Microserver would continuously reboot. I took the hard drives out and the Microserver booted fine.
Because I'm new, I let the Microserver boot up with FreeNas and then just inserted the hard drives hot. They both recognized and I was able to add volumes via the web gui.
When I rebooted, however, with the hard drives inserted, the unit continuously reboots. Take hard drives out and the unit boots properly.
THe BIOS shows both hard drives and has them configured as RAID1 (I think, again, I'm new to this game).
When I insert the hard drives after booting the system, they both show up in FreeNas and can be striped together and things seem to work normally, though I don't know what I'm doing yet.
Any help for a complete newbie?
THank you
