HP Dynamic Smart Array B320i Driver for XENServer 6.5

[Balu K]

Hello Guys, 

 

I was trying to install XENSERVER 6.5 on a brand new HP Proliant DL G380e G8 Server. This server has a DynamiC Smart Array B320i Raid controller. XEN Installer unable to detect the hard disk volume as the required driver is not loaded. HP was saying this server do not support XEN. 

 

Can you please suggest any compatible driver for HP Dynamic Smart Array B320i for XEN. And also instructions to load the driver. 

 

Thanks, 
Balu K

If you can install CentOS (or other Linux distro), run the lsmod command to see what drivers (modules) are loaded. XenServer 6.5 ships with hpsa module. Perhaps you need a specific driver version. You can find driver (module) version via modinfo <driver name>

goodnight friend you could solve this your problem? I'm in a similar situation , same server , same controller and installing citrix xerserver 6.5. It appears to me the error where it looks for hard disks .

Complicated HP does not keep media and drivers for this product.

Hey guys,

 

No hpsa driver has been released for Xenserver 6.5 till date.

 

Try the Driver Disk for HP hpsa v3.4.6_170-1 for XenServer 6.2.0 Service Pack 1 with XS62ESP1024 from link http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX142498

 

The above driver is a driver for XenServer 6.2 , but still it might work with 6.5 too ( just worth a try)

 

Or 

 

You can load the hpsa driver from link http://support.citrix.com/article/CTX141638 for Xenserver 6.2 ( base pack ) and then try to install XenServer 6.2 and then  do an upgrade to Xenserver 6.5

 

Regards

Boby

How can install HP hpsa v3.4.6_170-1 for XenServer 6.2.0 ? i have same issue.

[Alan Lantz]

I think the question should be why you would want to. XenServer 6.2 is no longer supported. Upgrading 

is imperative.
