kevin_lane Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 I am tring to upgrade our ML350 g5 server to windows 2008 r2 64 bit but haveing a few probs no matter what it keeps ssaying i need to update these drivers Multifunction adapters: HP ProLiant iLO 2 Legacy Support Function Multifunction adapters: HP iLO Management Channel Interface Driver Multifunction adapters: HP ProLiant iLO 2 Management Controller Driver Tape drives: Hewlett Packard LTO Ultrium-4 drive Multifunction adapters: HP ProLiant iLO 2 Legacy Support Function Multifunction adapters: HP iLO Management Channel Interface Driver Multifunction adapters: HP ProLiant iLO 2 Management Controller Driver Tape drives: Hewlett Packard LTO Ultrium-4 drive - firmware has been updated i have installed all the drivers for what it needs of HP web site and i even ran the start cd for windows 2008 64bit just to se if it made a difference. i cant put in the windows 2008 server cd in becasue it gives a blue screen parity error and reboots and rolls back to windows 2003 ent 64bit. i'm trying to use the new dpm2010 but obs it needs to run on windows 2008 only and has to be 64bit has anyone had same probs before ?
SYNACK Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Use the firmware update cd to update the firmware for all the hardware and do a clean reinstall without the smartstart CD then download the hp PSP (Proliant Support Pack) and use that to install any missing drivers or services. The G5's had an issue with the iLO firmware when using 2008 which I have experienced before.
m25man Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 +1 with Synack, You must update the firmware and make sure all of your BIOS settings are correctly set. I have loads of these running r2 with no problems at all.
kevin_lane Posted July 30, 2011 Author Posted July 30, 2011 Yea done that I got the latest BIOS from HP web site and I downloaded I spent like 3 hours trying to make sure I Downloaded the stuff it needed and the latest drivers but it says that it is alrdy installed and up to date I what is different from the psp and. Smart cd as that was over 600 meg
SYNACK Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 The PSP is installed afterwards and has the latest drivers at the time. Have you updated the iLO firmware though as it does not matter if you have updated the BIOS if you have not updated this as this is the bit of hardware that causes the bluescreen. This is why I recommended the firmware update cd as this will update BIOS, iLO, network adapter firmware, power controller firmware, RAID card firmware etc. All of which you should update for the server to run at its best.
m25man Posted July 30, 2011 Posted July 30, 2011 Also, Remove/Disconnect any non Standard or non HP Hardware before trying to install the OS with the Smartstart CD
