DL160 G6 Unable to use RAID before install OS
I already opened a case with HP. The supplied me with several drivers for all OS'ses mentioned. None of them work. They say the Easy CD is just crap, don't use it. Strange advise ....
Still. I'm looking to a server I can't use. I can't imagen I'm the 1st person facing this simply issue, installing a OS.
Maybe somebody can give me usefull advise?
Thanks.

Re: DL160 G6 Unable to use RAID before install OS
However with two disks attached I can only choose raid 0 or raid 1+0. I hope this means the controller uses raid 1 if there are two drivers attached.
Second, using Windows 2008 R2 I am also not able to bind the B110i into the setup. It shows up as compatible driver, but it produces an error when it tries to load the files from the USB stick.

Re: DL160 G6 Unable to use RAID before install OS
not a common controller... I think I bought a HP? I settled with using AHCI-mode for my Windows 2008 R2 RC tests. I just need to test Hyper-V2 RC/SCVMM 2008 R2 RC, but when 2008 R2 hits the market on 22nd october HP should be ready with a driver...

Re: DL160 G6 Unable to use RAID before install OS
Did someone solve this problem ?
I have the same ... Bought a DL160G6, removed the 160GB hard drive and put 2x HP 250GB hard drive, configured the RAID 1+0 via F8, and the Easy Setup CD hangs on the "could not update disk MBR code"...
Booting on the Windows Server 2008 "HP Branded" DVD doesn't work (bootlock : cannot find media), booting on a Windows Server 2008 from MSDN doesn't work because I can't load the drivers of the b110i controler ...
Could HP have sold some hardware that cannot work ??? How will I explain to my customer I sell a hardware RAID controler enabled server, and it will run on a shitty software RAID configured inside Windows ........
That's a shame for HP servers !!!

Re: DL160 G6 Unable to use RAID before install OS
I'm actually downloading, and will give it a try in less than an hour, I'll let you know as soon as I know ...
For information, the download is availaible with many others by selecting the "United States - English" language at the top right of the http://www.hp.com webpage, before browsing to drivers section ...
