I recently run in a big Problem. I updated a Server
from 2008R2 to 2012R2. The Setup told me some Problems like HD Space, iSCSI
Driver not compatible, Forrest prep.
Ok I fixed that Problems and the Setup told me All
clear but i have to check if all APPS are compatible.
OK, i didn't used any Apps and started the Setup.
After a while the Setup crashed and did a
rollback, or better to say, it tried to do a rollback, as the old Win2008R2
didn't come back instead I got a boot error Windows\System cannot be
loaded.
OK, doesn’t matter. I did install 2012R2 as clean
Setup from CD.
That worked, but at the end, I lost my Storage
Box (HP MSA20) connection, as neither HP nor Microsoft provide a Driver for the
needed Array Adapter Smart Array 6400 !!
I was able to install the Windows 2008R2x64 Driver, but it isn't starting.
So I have now a running System with 2012R2 (and it
runs stable and fast!) but without my storage.
Anyone out there who found a working Driver for a
SmartArray 6400 for 2012 or R2?
Very bad to find out after Setup finished !!!
