Does any has been able to install Windows server 2012 On a B200 M3 blade running 2204XP As fex with VIC 1240 card installed in blade.
I am running 2.0(4b) On B 200 M 3 blades & while trying to install Windows 2012 . It installed succesfully since i am using local disk's But it;s not picking up HBA and NIC drivers . The support Bundle under download link on cisco;s website is missing the drivers for 1240 . It has for 1280 and MK811 KR & Mlom. Just cruious does Cisco supports intallation of Windows 2012 on B200 M3 blade with VIC 1240 adapters. I downloaded whole of 1.0 GB Iso containing Driver Only to see the VIC 1240 Drivers missing from the ISO .
Docuemtation On below link says " it;s Not supported "

Hello Sushil,
UCSM 2.0.4b is not tested for W2K12 and so it is not qualified for support.
However, W2K12 will be able to install on B200 M3 + VIC 1240 hardware and once you upgrade UCSM + firmware, you will be in supported config scenario.
VIC 1240 is also known as MLOM. You can install drivers published under MLOM folder.

HI
Thanks Padma . excellent to see you active here as well.. it;s been quite some time now . I have opened a Support request as well with you guys as 626787149 .
So what;s the Supported UCSM Firmware version for the VIC 1240 to Work with windows 2012 ?? .we are running 2.0 (4b ) at the moment .
will appreciate if you could post the relevant official link here and the nearest supported firmware for it to work & yes, I can see Drivers for Mlom in that downloaded ISO. Has downloaded t twice thinking that 1240 is supported.

Hello Sushil,
I just checked HCL and Windows 2012 is supported in UCSM 2.0.4 release .

http://www.cisco.com/web/techdoc/ucs/interoperability/matrix/matrix.html
Recommended driver version are
FNIC ( HBA ) 2.2.0.9
ENIC ( NIC ) 2.2.0.8
MLOM is aka VIC 1240. You should be able to install the drivers under MLOM folder.

That;s the Problem. The windows 2012 Drivers i just downloaded do have those MLOM drivers but it;s not picking up those drivers . Hence I delved into compatibility stuff. If you check the PDF link on forst post , and read into Notes, Point no 14 mentions below

You mentioned 2204 as IOM model in the initial post.
That note applies only when you have 2104 IOM + MLOM ( VIC 1240 ) + 1280 or Port expander in mezz slot.
If the blade has just VIC 1240 ( MLOM ) , it is not an issue.
Please make sure you install the drivers from Device manager.

Correct, I have 2204 IOM + VIC 1240 . is there any way i can find out that Mezz slot has Port expander via UCSM ??
Don;t have physical access to blade at the moment .
I am trying to install drivers via device manager only ....
