Proliant ML110 GEN10 error when installing Windows 2012 R2

[ordnarf]

Hello dear friends,  

I'm having problems installing Windows Server 2012 R2.

I Have a Proliant ML110 G10, with two Sata LFF hard drive, configured with RAID1

I have tried to use intellingent provisioning, but it cancel when is getting files ready for instalation. (I have try using different ISO and DVD, same result)

Also i have tried to do the install without the intelligent provisioning and also cancels in the same part. and server shows a red blinking light

Do you have any idea

Hi,

Is there any error message on screen?

You may try the following links for help:

I would suggest to get the server to its Default Configuration from BIOS/RBSU and/or from the System Maintenance Switch S6 (page# 75) to Clearing NVRAM.

Then reconfigure RAID and try to install OS.

If this fails, you may perform server diagnositcs and contact HPE Support if required.

Hello, thank you for your answer, i've tried that and nothing worked, it looks that is a problem with the smart array, because i was able to install windows when i disable the smart array suport in the rbsu

but with this configuration i cant have a RAID.

i already have updated the BIOS and everything with the SPP ISO

if you have another idea I'm all ears, well in this case, I'm all eyes

and no, there is not any error message on the screen, only the windows installation gets cancelled

You didn't mention what controller you are working with. If it is the HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10 SW RAID controller you will need this driver 
HPE Smart Array Gen10 Controller Driver for Windows Server 2012 R2 and Windows Server 2016

Keep in mind, this controller is a software based RAID controller. THe RAID function is controlled by a driver.  Not really any different than using the software RAID function built into th Windows OS itself

hello, well sorry for not telling that before, but i already have tried that driver and is not working.

i have tried with intelligent provisioning and manual instalation loading the driver but the instalation stops in the same place.

i guess that i need a newer version of intelligent provisioning or a new driver
