The problem with this setting for me is, that I have to recreate the entire array (on some of the hp smartarray controllers) before changing this setting from 4 to 8gb (max boot enable). So when i find out that the server won't boot , then I can insert the bootonly cd again and begin installing again.

But thats now aprox 6 years ago. I dont think it will hurt to have them at 8GB and the 4GB is just a legacy for some OSes that doesnt know about boot devices larger than 4GB. Like some versions of DOS. /Bjorn On Fri, 4 May 2007, Rob Crommentuijn wrote: > I have installed 2 HP proliant servers with 6.2 (ML380G5 and ML370G3).
