Windows 2008 installation error on CISCO C220 M4

[frederic.voiriot]

Hi,

i have any problem with a C220 M4 Server.

I configured the CISCO 12 G SAS MODULAR RAID CONTROLER with one virtual drive in RAID 5 (boot true).

After in the bios i enabled [HBA] on the OPROM module

But when i launch the installation of WINDOWS 2008 SRV i've :

I verified on the LSI MEGARAID SETUP and of course i selected "CONTROLLER BIOS" on ENABLE.... but after 1 billion of reboot i cry on my keyboard.

Please you have solution ?

Hi,

I do not have a PCI card in the BIOS BOOT. Track start maybe.

And for the article :

It's ok "controller bios = enable"

What are the devices you have in BOOT menu? this is strange. 

also please try these steps,

•When the system boots up and the LSI Option ROM screen displays, press Ctrl+H to enter the LSI option ROM screen.

• Choose the Configuration Wizard and follow the instructions to configure the RAID 6 array group. (RAID 6 needs a minimum of three drives.) Once RAID 6 is created, initialize the virtual drives (full initialization) on which the OS is to be installed.

•After the virtual drive is initialized, the virtual drive on which the OS is to be installed must be set as the boot drive.

•Go to the virtual drive menu and choose the virtual drive number and click Set Virtual drive. This is very important because Windows will report an error message during install if this is not set.

Hi

go to attachment to know the boot.

I tested your procedure : set as boot drive is ok.

But no change.

PCIe = no uploaded in my BIOS BOOT DRIVE.

I do not understand. Normally though I have misconfigured my VD . I must see the SLOT [ HBA ] in BOOT options. For me as I would not have solved the problem of BOOT . I could not run my installation.

Another idea ?

its really strange. can you try changing UEFI boot mode to BIOS mode. i guess your installation media is supporting to BIOS boot too.

and try to create  200GB partition and try to install OS in to that partition.

[frederic.voiriot]

BIOS mode = Legacy ?

No change finally opened à TAC on IBM (seller support)

If solution is founded i post here

[Kasun Bandara]

Yes that will be good. please post the issue here once you are solved.

regards,

kasun

Hi,

I created a RAID 1 with 2 disk same problem.

In the bios I can't select the SLOT [HBA] like a boot (screenshot)
