Last year I was given an HP ML350p Gen8 Server after it was retired from our company. I have been using it mainly for SETI@home crunching. It has always run MS Windows Server as we have several old/unused versions kicking around.

Spec is: 2 x XEON E5 2697v2, 64GB RAM/Processor (128GB total), P830 12G Array Controller with 4GB cache, 2 x SFF (Small Form Factor) 8 bay drive cages, 3 x 600GB 12G 15K SAS Drives configured RAID1+ADM and a 4th drive as a hot spare, 2 x 1,200watt PSU's currently configured PSU1 'live' PSU2 'redundant spare'. The machine is drawing about 450watts in total running 24 cores (48 threads) running 48 work unit tasks in parallel. I am (was) hoping to reduce the processing times with the K40 installed. I am familiar with the ILO interface and all temperatures are within tolerances, it is adequately cooled and lives in a dedicated shelf in my Server Cabinet in my office.

I recently bought a 'genuine' (HP Part #'s) nVidia TESLA K40m and the HP Graphics Card Adaptor Kit. It was installed last week on Windows Server 16 the drivers (nVidia website driver download) install but the K40 returns a Code 12 (not enough resources to run the card) error when the machine is re-booted. I've also tried Windows 10 (nVidia website driver download) and Server 2012 R2 (using HPE support website's nVidia driver download). I get the same Code 12 error regardless of installed OS. The cards is installed in PCIe Slot 6 as instructed in the manual. The K40 was one of only 4 cards certified for use in the Gen8 ML350p. In total I've spent over 70 hours researching the problem and trying to find a fix without success. I am convinced it's a BIOS/IRQ/PCIe setting but no amount of fiddling/tweaking removes the Code 12 error. I'm also running the most up to date BIOS 2018.05.21 both as main and backup. Both BIOS's have been refreshed just to make sure . . . . . . . I have removed the P830 and used the embedded P420i Disk Controller that had no effect on the Code 12 problem either. I've disabled both SATA controller's (in the BIOS), again the Code 12 problem persists. The P830 lives in PCIe slot 3.

Can anyone shed any light on why the K40 appears to install, but doesn't function under any version of Windows?

Thanks, RiDDO

Hello,

I have a problem with the boot with proliant 380 Gen9,  the error message is :Option Rom POST Error: 1716-Slot 0 Drive Arrey. 

Thank you

Hi,

I'm not on a UEFI server, but understand this card supports Legacy as well. If I try to boot from offline HP SSA, I get told USB booting is not supported in legacy mode. I'm using 3.25.4.0. Will any of the slightly older ones work?

This server doesn't have embedded optical drive either, so if I use a USB optical drive does HP SSA see that differently to a USB stick and load OK?

I literally only need to create a RAID 1 for Windows OS install!

Thanks

Issues with windows server 2012 r2 installation that might benefit from a system repair. Created UEFI bootable USB version of windows server 2012 r2 distribution from Microsoft iso with Dynamic Smart Array B140i driver injected into boot.wim and install.wim before spilting it into install.swm and install2.swm. I used https://community.hpe.com/t5/ProLiant-Servers-ML-DL-SL/How-boot-HPE-ProLiant-DL160-Gen9-into-Win2012R2-Repair-mode/m-p/7027450?advanced=false&collapse_discussion=true&q=windows%20server%202012%20r2%20repair&search_type=thread#.XNeKU3dFxPZ for some of the guidance and the article it referenced.

The USB boots and repair is selected, but neither of the two Raid volumes are visible. If I choose system image restore, I can eventually get to a load driver window and select the drivers from another folder I created on the USB drive. The load fails with an error code. If someone can tell me how to replay the .ilo recording, I could post the error.

Any suggestions about how to do the system repair of just windows would be appreciated.

Regards, Ira

Hello,

when running HP sum on multiple hosts for the second time, many of them fail with the error mentioned in subject. Cleaning catche fixes this, but you have to do it before every single run.

Why does this actually happen? Can't find any info regarding that error.

Bonjour j'ai un serveur hp proliant Ml 310 gen 10 avec 2 disques en raid1 installé et en production.

I tried DIMM one by one and strat the server: same status, i mean nothong ton screen and the server reboot continiously.

I need help please

I am hoping for a little help on my results.  I am running two tests specifically against my RAID10 across 8 SAS 15K 900GB drives and not gettting results that i would expect.  I am expecting to see better Avg Lat speeds in the 64K test and much closer to the 8K test shown below.  It's possible my expectations are out to lunch but any help greatly appreciated.  THank you.

Hi,

We have a Prolaint ML150 G9 with a Smart HBA H240 (RAID Mode) this controller has no cache module as its a basic controller.

Our client wants a disk exspansion and we aim to do a offline disk exspansion.

I know with a battery and a cache we could do a online exspansion but with no cache or battery its not possible.

My question is can we do a offline disk expsansion with this controller and no cache or is it being a basic controller this is not possible and we are looking at configuring a new array.

Kind regards

James

I want to connect two network cards in my HP DL360e Gen8, but I would have to take out my controller card that is in one of the PCIe, I realized that there is a mini SAS input and my question is if I can connect my two disks to this input andif I need to change something in the BIOS for it to work.

Thanks

Hi,

I have server HP Proliant DL380 G5 on which RAID 5 was configured and Windows Server 2008 R2 was installed. 04 HDD with 146 GB installed. From last few days one of the HDD shows orange light and now there is no light in that HDD at all and i am not able to open the windows. When ever i open the machine it continously finding the OS. 

My question is how i can check now in this situation that RAID 5 is configured and the other 3 HDD are perfectly fine and all the data is there. 

My Second question if i replace it with other HDD still there is no light.

Do i lost my all data?

Hi everyone, 

I have the 8xLFF SAS Backplane with part nr 643704-001, meant for a Proliant Dl380p Gen8, however I'm using it on a personal project where I'm trying to manage around 20 LFF drives from a single DL360p Gen8 1U server.

What I would like help is to know the pinout details of the power connector and voltage does it take. 
Is that a normal EPS connector where its 12V all accross the top and ground in the bottom pins or is something different? 

Thank you for the help,

Ralms. 

Hello,

I'm trying to install Server 2016 OS on my HP Proliant DL380 Gen10 server. I am using the intelligent provisioning. I mounted my ISO file etc. When it gets to the part and it runs winpeinit.exe at a command after a reboot. it runs through all the drivers etc and seems to get to a point where it stops and then exits. Exit /b 0. 

The first problem I see is it tries to do a C:\ and then throws an error C:\ is not recognized as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file. 

Then it makes a cpqsystem folder 

then echo cleared boot 1>>C:\cpqsystem\ip.log

tries to remove directory C:\boot but errors The system cannot find the file specified. Error 2 The system cannot find the file specified. 

Goes to hpev CQTESS- then ERROR: deleting EV CQTESS

Shows me envionrnment variables which  Count=0. Then ends at X:\windows\system32> exit /b 0. If I exit manually it just does the same thing over again. 

Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong? I have not updated any firmware etc this is pretty much out of the box other than the ILO setup. 

Thanks!

Hi all,

this morning I've installed the Latest Windows Server 2016 Updates on my HP Microserver Gen8 - which is protected by the Optional HP TPM Module 488069-B21.

From this installation on I had issues using the TPM Chip to unlock my Boot Disk.

I've documented some details here on Technet:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/windowsserver/de-DE/3875257a-3d02-4bd3-b2a1-5421e21a7a24/issues-after-installation-of-todays-updates-kb4494440?forum=ws2016

Maybe you have something in your databases and could give me the right hint on what I am missing as of today to get it working again.

Cheers,

Matthias

Hi Community,

is there a way to get notifaction about newly released SPP?
email notification, RSS feed, anything?
Should only be for latest SPP release. (Or at least managable to filter)

Thanks.

Hello guys,

I'm trying to install Windows server 2016 on a Porliant DL360 e gen8 on a raid1 config.

From Inteliggent provisioning I can only start with a disc (USB drive is not accepted) and the system only gives ne the option to choose server 2012. I selected "Server 2012" and inserted the key for the windows server 2016 and the install continued. After server reboot automatically after generating partitions and copying files, the windows installation suddently stops sying "Windows Could Not Complete The Installation...". When trying to boot from the dvd/usb win2016 image, to try installation, the Windows don't recognize the logical disl. It asks for a storage controller driver. Anyone knows hot to add this driver? I can't find it on HP sites. Only as .exe file.

Otherwise, is there any other way to install windows server 2016, or yous guys think it's not possible?

thanks in advance!
