Connect via ILO - ensuring that it is licensed
If a server is stuck in automatic repair and goes into the recovery environment, start by seeing if you can run Chkdsk c: /f/b from the command prompt
If this doesn't work and the server is not finding the C: drive Mount the S:\HP B120i Storage Driver folder as a virtual drive
Then run drvload.exe <filename>.inf in this case it will almost certainly be drvload.exe hpsa2.inf unless something changes.
Check the drives for the Windows folder by running DIR on each drive letter
Then go into the X drive and run the chkdsk *: /f on the relevant drive
e.g. If windows is on the e: drive
chkdsk e: /f
You can also be /b for bad sectors but that adds a lot of time.
To be clear - run this on all the drives you can find to aid in boot up time afterwards.
Then run sfc /scannow /offbootdir=e:\ /offwindir=e:\windows
if this complaining that there is a pending system repair then
del e:\windows\winsxs\pending.xml
and run the sfc again
reboot the server.
