Install 2016 on a DL360e Gen 8 - Raid not showing as drive to install OS

jane12 — Fri, 07 Jul 2023 03:47:16 GMT

I have an old DL360e Gen 8 with 2012 running, which I have wiped and now trying to install 2016.

Just for a development machine.

When I come to install the OS, the new Raid 1 is not showing as available to install to.

In fact, no HDD are showing on the install window or when running a list on diskpart.

I have erased the whole server again, and re-setup the Raid 1, but still nothing.

I have tried to browse to the Array Controller drivers on USB (HPE Dynamic Smart Array B120i cp033111) thinking they were missing, but get the "No signed device drivers were found" error.

Going round in circles, please help!

Hello,

You need to execute the cp03311.exe and "Extract" the files. Then when you click on load driver it will see the hpsa2.inf driver file.
