Cannot install Windows Server 2019 with Intelligent Provisioning and Embedded VROC sSA

[mig-]

Hi, i would appreciate to get some help, I'm trying to install Windows Server 2019 in a brand new HPE Proliant Microserver Gen10 Plus with the Embedded S100i SW RAID controller enabled in the BIOS (UEFI is also enabled), and with a RAID 1 of two SATA SSD (Samsung EVO), I already did the array, but when I launch the Windows Installer from Intelligent Provisioning and the server reboots, a cmd window launches and countdown starts with the text "Waiting for target drive...", then after 100 seconds (aprox.) waiting, the script ends and nothing else. Thanks

Hello,

I have the same problem on a new HPE ML110 gen11 with VROC sSATA Interface.

After creating the array I am not able to install Windows Server 2019 with intelligent

Provisioning. After all I'll get a timeout and the game starts over.

Is there a VROC sSATA driver to install on a USB stick to use with a DVD Windows

Server 2019 installer CD?

Thank you very much for your help.

Best regards,

Roland

It seems,, that intelligent provisioning have problems with the VROC sSATA drivers.

- Manually download the VROC driver from HPE's web site:

- Unzip it to a USB stick

- Install Windows Server 2019 via external DVD-drive (old school, I know, but it works!)

- Go to drivers search and select the USB stick

- Install Windows Server 2019 as 20 Years before, before any "intelligent provisioning" from HPE exists

...And don't forget to install the newest ServicePack files from HPE!
