I'm having trouble installing Windows Server 2012 R2 on a Dell VRTX with two M620 nodes.
RAID Controller H710P and a shared SPERC8 controller.
RAID 1 is configured and a virtual disk is made.
When entering the lifecycle controller for Node 1 > OS deployment > i choose MS Windows Server 2012 R2 > manual install.
After reboot i boot from the virtual media > mapped drive to the ISO of Windows Server 2012 R2.
After loading and selecting the right language i get the message to load a driver to install.
I browsed to the OEMDRV (C:) > $WinPEDriver$ > 0P5XV > w folder
I see three possible drivers to install (Dell Perc Raid Virtual device - PERC H710P Mini - Shared Perc 8).
When i try to install the drivers i get the message after a couple of seconds :
'No new devices drivers are found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK'.
I tried the new Windows Server 2012 R2 drivers from this website:
http://www.dell.com/support/home/us/en/19/product-support/product/poweredge-m620p/drivers
Choosing MS Windows Server 2012 R2/SP > SAS RAID > Microsoft Windows 2012 R2 64 Bit Driver for Dell PERC H310/H710/H710P/H810/SPERC8 Controllers
Downloaded the executable and extracted the execuatable. Placed the content on a USB stick and mapped the drive with the virtual media button in the console of the M620 node.
I browsed to the removable disk (subdirectory 'payload') on the node and i get again three drivers to install.
(Dell Perc Raid Virtual device - PERC H710P Mini - Shared Perc 8).
When i try to install i get the message after a couple of seconds :
'No new devices drivers are found. Make sure the installation media contains the correct drivers, and then click OK'.
Installing Windows Server 2012 goes without any problem.
Installing Windows Server 2012 R2 gives me this problem.
I think it is driver related but i don't where to get the right driver.
Anybody with any suggestions?
Thanks.
Best regards,
Steven
