Query: HPE Proliant ML350p gen8 boot, firmware and fans error

[zyn]

Hi,

I'm running windows server 2019 on a HPE Proliant ML350p gen8 and I have a couple of issues. 

Nr 1. I can't boot when run with B120i, then i just get a bluescreen telling me we've come upon problems. When I run it as AHCI I am able to boot into Windows Server correctly.

Nr 2. I'm looking for firmware updates, but it's real fuzzy about which one I should use. There are no available firmware or so for this server and Windows Server 2019? Also when trying to check for firmware in the Intelligence provision I get an error and nothing shows up and I'll have to go back one step.

Nr3. Fans is running on 50% all the time, I thought this might be connected to the issue that I can't use B120i according to what I have found in the forum but I'm not sure about that. 

This might be lacking information needed for you being able to help me out, let me know if I'm missing something.

Best Regards

I solved it by downloading Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) and ran the HP Smart Update Manager, checked nodes and install recommended!

Hi,

These are the files I had saved on the computer since then, I believe it was one of these that fixed it for me but I'm not certain.
