Product: Proliant DL380 G6 Operating System: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 (64-bit) I have reinstaled Windows 2008 R2 on a DL380 G6 and am getting a couple of missing Device drivers. May 01, 2020  Download drivers for HP ProLiant ML350 G6 (487930-421). It’s just HP Experience. Server Fault works best with JavaScript enabled. Can’t find and install iLO 2 driver on HP ProLiant DL380 G5 running Windows Server 2012.

Well, if I wanted a hint about support or not for one of my Dell servers, I would plug it's service number into their support page and see what it offered to me for operating systems selections.Eventually it will be too old and something won't work such as a disk driver or something like that. That's what I have found so far on bare metal servers circa 2008-2010. Icadmac 2018 keygen. Installation for 2019 failed on this. 2016 worked.If this were a machine in production and running something for the company that generated revenue, then as soon as I don't have the blessing for a given server it is obsolete and can't continue to be used in this purpose. Or so says the rules. The risk is higher than we want to risk because if a break/fix event happens, it is harder than a phone call to get service. Likewise if some security patch is needed, we can't get it.

This is below our Standards for Production. I'm not saying said hardware couldn't be used in the office to run a development server or do QA or some other supporting role- it is just no longer qualified for use in production. To add to Robert's info, here is a link to the page where you can check If/what server models are certified for which versions of Windows Server.I would stress that the list only shows the versions that are.Certified. to run various versions of Windows Server, not the only ones that.can. run. Essentially, that is your guaranteed that it has been tested and proven to work as intended, though that doesn't mean you cannot still run versions that were not officially tested and proven by HPE.

In the cases of Windows Server 2016+, I believe that HPE simply didn't test them because the servers were not technically still under mainstream support when the newest versions of Windows Server were released.I'm currently running VMware on the metal, but I'm running Server 2019 in the VMs for what little it's worth. Sorry to mention one thing this server is running Active directory controller & file server.We have planning to buy new server for AD & this DL 180 G6 server to replacement for SQL / Web server.So in this case i am not have a trial for running server 2016.As mentioned by @Jim peters & @Robert5205 it was possible to install but may be issue in getting drivers, software or security patch from HP.

If i am installing server 2016 in this server than which of the drivers may be create problem or that are not available?As of now in server P410 without caching module installed in server with only RAID 1 support, which raid controller should support to server 2016?I have searched on HP website and found below raid controller support on HP DL 180 G6 Server. From hp forum all below raid controller support to maximum os is 2008. So is this supported to 2016 os or if not than which raid controller will be suitable for 2016?HP Smart Array P800,HP Smart Array P212 controller,HP Smart Array P410 controller,HP Smart Array P411 controller ( As per HP operating system support to max. I have a DL180 G6 with Server 2019 Standard installed. Server has P410 with 256Mb cache (firmware version 6.64).

Only driver which was not automatically identified by Windows was the ProLiant 100-Series Management Controller. You can download the driver for Server 2012 which installs no problem at all (CP022262.exe).The HP Smart Storage Administrator tool v2.65.7.0 can also be installed successfully allowing management of the array.I haven't tried the iLO utility as the server does not have this optional management interface installed.

Since HP SmartStart CD went the way of the dodo bird before Windows 2012 R2 was released, HP ProLiants older than a Gen8 require administrators to manually install Windows 2012 R2.

Great thanks to Amit and CR – I had been loading the driver for the 410i controller – but some G7s would install Windows and some would still complain they couldn’t use the drive. Sometimes trying, failing, and then going back a few screens would help. But on the most stubborn example, simply changing the boot order from the BladeSystem OA so that C: was on top literally made it work on the fly – no reboot necessary. It’s old crappy hardware, so I probably will never come up against this again, but this is one resolution I won’t forget.
