For

and if you install

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 x64

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2

Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 Foundation Edition

Installation:

CREATING A DRIVER UPDATE USB-KEY

MAKING DRIVER UPDATE USB-KEY UNDER A LINUX-LIKE OS:

• Save the "hpvsa-<version>.<OSupdate>.x86_64.dd.gz" file into a temporary directory. Use GUNZIP to extract "hpvsa-<version>.<OSupdate>.x86_64.dd" from this file into the same directory.
• Insert the USB-Key. If the USB-Key is not mounted automatically, then mount it.
• Copy the hpvsa-<version>.<OSupdate>.x86_64.dd file to the directory you USB-Key is mounted to and then umount the USB-Key.

INSTALLATION

At the initial OS installation screen be sure to:

for B120i: blacklist=ahci
for B320i: none
 

• Press ESC key.
• On the command line type the following to keep the ahci driver from interfering with the hpvsa drivers.
• IMPORTANT: Remove the USB-Key once the driver has been installed to prevent the OS installer from including the USB-Key as part of the OS storage.

 Blah-blah-blah, it's not a bug, it's a wonderful feature, be happy to scratching your left ear with right leg.

It’s my last purchase  from HP.

Hi! Same problem. BIOS updated but F5 doesn't work... Solved using Offline HP Smart Storage Administrator Utility, via USB with HP USB Key Utility. Thank you Jimmy.

Anyway it's so sad that HP hasn't solved the problem in months and months....

I have configured RAID 1 in  ML 10 TODAY - 31-01-2018.

Step by step :

Turn on server

Click on delete button or esc button

It will redirect to bios.

Go to advance and select '' CMS CONFIGURATION'' and enable CMS SUPPORT and select boot optin filter and select legacy only

Again back to advance and select ''SATA CONFIGURATION''  & select SATA MODE SELECTION - change to RAID..

Then - scroll down & select -SOFTWARE FEATURE MASK CONFIGURATION & scroll down and change to 4 seconds  normal delay.

And save & exit.

Restart the server then keep press on CTRL + I then you can create the RAID :)

I hope it will help you.

Thanks

Shamzi

Hi there , it looks like HPE has removed this software and i can't find a copy anywhere, since you have an ISO, could i get a copy from you
