is there any other way to proceed
this is a hardware limitation; the only way around it is to have a virtual disk less than 2tb
a secondary disk 2tb+ is fine but can't be the first to boot from

shall i remove the 2 phsical 1.2 tb and keep only one 1.2tb hdd
that would work; you just don't have any redundancy
if you removed 1 drive and made a raid 1 with 2 drives it works with redundancy

UEFI is not needed to boot GPT disks in Linux, that limitation is only for m$ OS's. But I absolutely agree that you should use a current OS.
UEFI in IBM Server does not recognize RHEL5.10 DVD, also there is not a single mention in RHEL5 install guide that grub supports UEFI.
6.3 on the other hand is first RHEL6 with full UEFI/GPT support.

I think you can grade this question...

I've requested that this question be deleted for the following reason:
i had to proceed with oel 5.10 and it was fine then

Since you confirmed http:#a40203827 is an answer i think you can grade it too.
last i knew proliant servers still didn't support UEFI
