DL380 G4 and Windows 2008 R2

Shark3 — Thu, 02 Sep 2010 14:37:51 GMT

I can't install Insight Agents to server. I see error, that install package can't see management controller.
Also I can't open HP ProLiant Integrated Management Log Viewer.

iLO works fine. I can manage server via iLO/Remote Console, but can't do it from OS.

I tried to install PSP 8.50 for R2.

Error:

The software is not supported for installation on this system.

The installation program couldn't find the appropriate system management controller driver which is required but is not currently installed. Please install the appropriate system management controller driver and then rerun the setup program.

G4 is not outdated server. May be it's a bug ?
It will be really strange if you will not support R2 on G4 ;-/

Can you please fix this issue ?

"G4 is not outdated server. May be it's a bug ?

The ProLiant DL380 G4 was retired from production in February of 2007, it is a bit dated....

Will R2 run on it, Probably, but not with any form of support

I think there is a lot of G4 servers in production.
It's really strange that Win 2008 x64 is supported, but R2 is not supported.

That server is still supported for the things which were developed and released previously, but it would be more strange for HP to continue to develop and test new Supportpaqs for servers which have been out of production for several years.
