Hello,

DL120 G7 is BIOS based and not UEFI based, so you can't boot from over 2TB =
drive...
The only UEFI based HP ProLiant model now is DL580 Gen8.

Best Regards,
Hiroyuki Tsuji

Subject: HP DL 120 G7 and GPT on >2TB drive

Dear,

I found the article on HP KB which points out that on nonEFI/UEFI compliant=
 servers installation/formatting of, for example, FreeBSD 9 with GPT partit=
ioning will not work.

After several tests, I noticed that on <=3D 2TB it works perfectly, but on
>2TB formatting does not occur.

Is there a simple way to make it work,  or I just have to accept current si=
tuation?
