Help Me to solve Problem of installing windows Server 2012 R2 in HP Server Proliant DL380p G8

@denis_bI dont have a valid support . is ther another way to fix this issue.

[denis_b]

@nahedReally not sure. Installation should work. Do you have some other HPE server with active support?

[nahed]

@denis_bno. the support of this server expire one year ago

Windows Server 2012 R2 is very much supported on HP Server Proliant DL380p G8. The error you encounter is due to the issue with the OS image. Try to use another ISO image to isolate the issue.

If the issue persists with another image, then try with manual or PXE installation.

Before you proceed with OS installation, please confirm if the RAID has been configured, then proceed.

Hope this Helps !

It's BIOS of FC adapter, but not server. My recommendation regarding updates are still valid :(

Hi,

Is there a Fibre card installed. If so, please remove the card and try installing the operating system.

Also confirm the boot order & Raid is configured.

Hope this Helps !

@denis_bfor the SPP update can I buy license because the support contract expire since a year ago

[denis_b]

@nahedthere's no licenses for downloading some SW. It's required to have valid contract. Normally it's minimum 1 year, but you can ask local sales for 1 month contract. Sometimes it's possible.
