No drives when OS setups

[Alekhly]

I am trying to setup OS (Windows or FreeBSD) on HPE Proliant DL20 Gen10 server
I create logical drive using HPE Smart Array S100i

But no drives were found during Windows setup

Windows OS

The device driver for the HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10 SW RAID solution is not included with the Off-the-Shelf Microsoft Windows OS media. If user is installing the OS to a logical volume managed by the S100i SW RAID Solution, then user must ensure that the device driver is installed so that the windows installation will recognize the logical volume.

If user installs the OS using the assisted installation option in the intelligent provisioning software, the driver is automatically added during installation. No further action is required.

If user installs the OS without Intelligent Provisioning, user must manually inject the driverduring the OS installation from a USB drive.

So, try again to install windows, but this time, through the "Intelligent Provisioning" feature of the server.

The last option is to "inject" the device driver during the installation process, which is also explained on the link above.
