HP ProLiant DL380 gen10 - Issue installing Windows Server 2016

[josecdev]

Hi,

For the past couple of days, I've been trying to install Windows Server 2016 on my HP ProLiant DL380 gen10 with no success. I configured it with 2 RAIDs (RAID 1 and RAID 5). I have 6 SATA HDD drives installed on it. When I run "Rapid Setup" under Intelligent Provisioning (3.64.2), the OS setup crashes and gives me this error: "A required device isn't connected or can't be accessed." I also made sure that the right RAID controller was selected (HPE SmartArray P408i-a SR Gen10). Does anyone have any idea as to why this is happening?

Appreciate any responses, thank you!

Hello,

Please do try the below steps.

1. Restore system defaults

Procedure

1. From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > SystemDefault Options > Restore Default System Settings.
2. Select Yes, restore the default settings.
3. Reboot the server.

2. Perform an SPP update.

Thanks.

Thanks ManBha! I already suspected it was an issue with the SPP. The issue was that I had to apply the 2021.05.04 SPP instead of the 2021.04 one.
