Hope you can help, We just got the first ML10 V2 in to install and its been 2 days and still cant get anyhwere with it, the instruction are a joke, pointing to web pages that simple dont work or instead of giving instruction on how to install windows just tell you about Windows !
We always sell HP Servers but after this we are seriously re-considering going over to Dell, setting up a server should not cause this much trouble, i have been doing it for 30 years and never had this much problem.
The manual mentions the Virtual Install directory and enabeling it for the drivers, well that option does not appear in the BIOS at all !
Updated the BIOS form the website and that has made ZERO difference, still no option in the advanced BIOS settings for VID.
Press F5 on bootup as it says for the RAID setup and it says starting setup but then just continues and tries to boot from the DVD.
Can seem to download the SAA as someone else mentions, not sure if its just me but trying to access many HP pages over the last 2 days is not working, took 4 hours just to download the SPP as it was just taking ages to go to pages then nothing then suddenly worked again, tried it from mutiple ISP accounts and both same.
We have added 2 Toshiba Sata drives but nothing seems to be detected which i am hoping / assuming is just because they have not been configued in whatever system it needs !!
Also can actuall find the Windows driver for 2012 for the Raid controller despite downloadind a ton of supposed drivers.
Can someone at HP actually tell us how we are supposed to configure the raid and PLEASE just put a disk in the box, it might need updating but at least we would have something to start with and if F5 does not work on these servers then remove the message as it is annoying and VERY confusing.
All the paperwork just points you to other places on the web, what cant we just have a booklet explainign how to install Windows and why has the HP version of Windows 2012 not got the required drivers, its not like its a new controller not in any other PC is it ?!, we got the HP version because it said it contained HP specific drivers, apparently not for our server though.
Anyone who can point me in the right direction much apprecaited, if i cant get it working by Monday morning its going back and being replaced with a Dell model, sad as we have used HP for years but the website is terrible to get around and find stuff, typed the model number hsown 811073-001 in the search box and it tell me too many results !, type ML10 V2 and it says the same.
Thank You
