HP ProLiant ML350e 12TB Hard drive partition with Windows 2016 Server Standard

Jalexcius — Wed, 16 Jan 2019 03:40:31 GMT

Hello,

I am not able to set lager partition than 2TB with HP ProLiant ML350e GEN8. Presently, I would like to deploy this HPE server with Microsoft Windows 2016 Server Standard. I tried to convert MBR disk to GPT disk without success.

It seemed that HPE SPP 8.1 did not contain any hard drive utility that could help.

Best Regards.

Hi,

Not sure what is the Bios mode you have selected,

If you want to use >2 TB volumes then please select BIOS mode to UEFI then try,

for Legacy bios mode, please create only first partition size less then 2 Tb,

Regards,

Sudhir
