Server2003: Replace SCSI Controller Question

[SteveJHU]

Hi,
We have a 2003 Enterprise R2 SP2 installation. We had a controller fail and
needed to replace it. The failed controller was an HP SmartArray 5300. We
tried to replace it with a SmartArray 6400. After we installed the new
controller, we received a Stop Error 0x0000007B. We could not boot to safe
mode. What is the procedure to change the boot controller to a different
controller in Server 2003? I was not able to find documentation on this.
Thanks,
Steve

Hello SteveJHU,

Think you have to contact HP support for this. Also i think you have to replace
an array controller with the same model to get access to the created arrays
before the crash.
