HP ProLiant ML330 G6 Drivers

[chrilis]

It seems that most of my drivers are marked as Standard. Can you please tell if this is normal since my server is extremely slow. The attachment shows the device manager. Thank you.

Hi:

There is nothing obviously wrong with what you've posted. If you server is slow, define what you're doing when it's slow or is it slow doing everything. The obvious choices for causes are inadequate memory. If you're running 32-bit Windows, consider giving the server 4GB of memory. Also, the boot drive could be too full or too fragmented. If it's primarily slow when networking, check the network settings. Tell us as much as possible about your server and how it's used and you'll get better answers.

Make a great day!

Hello,
I have probabily the same problem described.
My DL 330 G6 is very slowly copying files from pc to the network share of the server.

The server have installed a Windows Server 2008 R2 X64.

what can I do?
thanks to all

I think the first order of business would be to install the latest PSP (Software - Support Pack) and the network card firmware upgrade (Firmware - Network). Beyond that, I would consider installing any other updates (particularly those marked CRITICAL) that were released after the PSP.

If you haven't already done so, you might consider signing up to be notified by HP of any updates/corrections they have published for your server:

Hi Roger,
i Have just now installed the PSP, and checked the latest driver for my NIC (HP NC-Series Broadcom 1Gb Driver for Windows Server 2008 x64 Editions).

I have tryed to copy 6 files simultaniosly each one of 130MB to the server, the result is a throughput of 12MB/second.

i have checked also the ping to the ip address, i don't lose packet and it is constantly to 1 ms.

any other ideas?

thanks in advance

Hi Roger
I have an other update, if I copy files to the server the ping command increase more then 600 ms.

Do you think is normal?

Thanks

I would try the same copy to another machine to prove that the problem is with the ML330. If yes, I would do as I previously suggested; apply any updates that are newer than the PSP. I'm sorry I don't have more time today.

Make a great day!
