Hp Mediasmart Server Installation Software

I bought an years ago. I was working at Microsoft at the time and it ran Windows Home Server, so I thought I should support the home team and try it out. It worked well for storing photos, home videos, etc. When the next version of Windows Home Server was released, I upgraded. Eventually I left Microsoft and Microsoft stopped supporting Home Server. I’ve always been somewhat of a Linux enthusiast, so I figured installing Linux on it would be a good way to get back into Linux again. I kept it running for a year or so, but eventually I needed one of the disks out of it for something else and it sat idle.

Jan 14, 2014  Hello, I'm planning to install FreeNAS on my HP MediaSmart Server (LX197). As it does not have any VGA output, my option is to take out its hard disk, plug it into my desktop computer as master and install FreeNAS via CDROM. Download Game Super Mario Bros Untuk Hp E63.

Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot about and I thought maybe I could resurrect this hardware once again. I’m not sure if this will work with other similar models, so tread carefully if you don’t have the same hardware I do. I’m using a Linux desktop machine to to set things up.

You’ll need an 8GB USB flash drive and the. Instead of writing the ISO out to a CD or USB drive, I used QEMU to boot the ISO image and install to my USB drive: sudo qemu-system-x86_64 -boot d -cdrom ~/Downloads/FreeNAS-9.10.1.iso -m 2048 -hda /dev/sdc Where /dev/sdc is the device name for my USB flash drive.

You should be able to figure out the device name by plugging the device in and then typing mount in a shell and looking for something like this: /dev/sdc1 on /media/mark/A0FE3089FE3059AC type fuseblk (rw,nosuid,nodev,relatime,user_id=0,group_id=0,default_permissions,allow_other,blksize=4096,uhelper=udisks2) Once QEMU boots, you’ll see the boot loader screen: Either hit or wait a bit and it will start up the installer. Once the screen above is loaded, be sure Install/Upgrade is selected and hit. After some time and a lot of text scrolling by, the install will finish. Select Shutdown System and wait for QEMU to halt. Eject the USB drive, plug it into the back USB port on the EX485 and power it up. You’ll have to check your router to see what IP address it was assigned. Once you figure that out, visit the address in your browser to configure your FreeNAS system.

Ya, the Free NAS install pukes when it runs into USB peripherals (Mouse and/or Keyboard). That took about an hour to figure out.

Luckilly the VGA cable I have has PS2 ports for both. I ran out and bought a PS2 keyboard and then the Free NAS install completes ok, but the NIC wont work. I did some hunting and the SIS 191 is not supported by Free NAS, so this will be interesting. Free BSD does support the NIC, so right now I'm installing Free BSD on an old machine so I can make the driver package and then boot the Free NAS environtment to a shell and try to load it into the kernel there. Should be exciting. The other thing I haven't figured out yet is how to get the Free NAS install to 'see' the 256 MB onboard flash drive since thats the perfect location to put the Free NAS OS. I'm hoping it's just a matter of shelling out during the Free NAS install and mounting it like a linux usb thumbdrive.

Here's hoping. Did you guys (or anyone else, for that matter) ever get anywhere with FreeNAS and the EX470? I've got it installed, but ran into the unsupported NIC issue (I'm using 0.7.whatever was latest as of about a week ago). For anyone else attempting an install: 1) Disable ACHI in the BIOS for the SATA ports, else the installer won't be able to see any drives except the built in drive that contains the WHS PE install environment. 2) If you don't have the VGA/PS2 adapter that was designed specifically for these machines (I created my own VGA adapter), you can hook up a USB keyboard long enough to tell the machine to boot from CD, but you'll have to unplug it after it starts loading. 3) To get around not having a CD-ROM attached through USB (because the installer will crash), I built a 'prop' so I could hook an internal SATA CD-ROM to the top-most SATA port on the back-plane (which meant pulling the PC out of its case). This allowed me to install.
