ISCSI client for Flex-10 530FLB adapter?

[Jan Soska]

Hello all,

we have strange situation in bl465c gen8 server with Flex-10 530FLB Adapter. This adapter has all drivers installed, latest firmware onboard and device manager of win2008r2 still shows unknown ISCSI client without driver installed. According our knowledge this adapter does not include any iSCSI features, so we really do not know where this comes from. Blade is attached to chassis with older cisco 3020 switches, not virtual connect installed. Please see screenshot in attachment. Does somebody have similar setup / NIC with the same behavior?

Thanks

Jan

It looks like there is a newer driver & firmware combination, can you please upgrade and report back.

This looks easy to replicate then, give me a couple of days to grab a lab machine and try this out.

I have a BL465c Gen8 on my lab with the 530 FLB card, the 04.13 SPP (service pack for proliant) was installed and everything looks fine so if you did install the april firmware (say yes even if it says you have the latest one) and have installed the latest SPP I would call in support for a defective device. 

OS = Win2k8 R2

Sorry I meant defective device...

Hello,

pretty interesting. Meanwhile I've raised support call to replace the card, result is the same with new card. Seems to be OS related, I think of fresh install with SPP you mentioned (or as fist step only SPP). Driver and firmware was used latest available.

Do you see any iscsi devices in your system? (it is not clear from your screenhot)

No, my only storage device is the embedded Smart Array.
