PCIe NVME drive showing multiple times on Windows 2016

Hi all,

I've got an Apollo 4200 Gen9 (XL420 Gen9) with a 6.4TB PCIe accelerator card. The server is installed with Windows 2016 Standard and is showing the 6.4TB card as multiple disk drives (32 times) on Windows:

These drives also show up in Disk Manager as 32 individual drives, but with a capacity of 0 MB?

Does anyone know what I'm missing here, I've installed the latest available Gen9 SPP on the system?

Regards,
Martien

Hi,

I think its more of a Microsoft issue rather than the hardware.  Do you know what is the FW version on this drive?
The lastest we have is HPK3(F).

Thank You!

Hi,

Just check with the latest 9.1 SPP, HPK3 is installed:

Digging deeper shows it to be version HPK3(B). Updated it to version your suggested version, that seemed to work somehow.

Will doublecheck with another same system to be sure.

It needed both Windows updates AND the firmware update as a solution
