I have a new DL380 and it's the first Gen10 machine I've worked with. I have an image of a Gen9 380 and assumed I could use it on this unit. During the imaging process I discovered I needed to add a RAID driver to my imaging drive as the Gen10 driver is apparently no longer a native Windows2016 driver.
However I cannot boot the new server once it's imaged, I get a missing boot device. I can't even see the raid volume in diskpart. I surmised that the driver is the issue. I loaded my image on a Gen9 box and attempted to install the new Gen10 driver (SmartPqi) but the machine is not a DL380 and therefore the driver won't install. Otherwise I'd get it installed then take an image and write to the new box. I have had no issues moving this image onto different HP servers so if I could get the driver to somehow install I think I'd be good.
So I'm kinda stuck here and hoping not to have build a whole new image from scratch simply because it contains many hours of custom software installs that I would have to redo. Any help/ideas are appreciated.
