Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade from windows server 2008 R2 to Windows Server 2012 R2 (64Bit) on a DELL 720r. When the upgrade starts (Boot from media or run setup from the server 2012 R2 media) I get the prompt to provide
the mass storage device drivers. I need the files (on USB or DVD) that I can provide when setup prompts for mass storage drivers. Details of the pertinent hardware / drivers is below (windows 2008 R2).
I've installed the latest firmware for anything that I can find for the Dell 710r and applied all dell and Microsoft (BIOS, Chipset, drivers for OS deployment, windowsupdate, etc.) software maintenance.
I need the following drivers:
- megasys,sys (perc 6/I); msicsi.sys (MSFT iscsi initiator) and iscilogic.dll (vers. 6.0.6002.18005)
- The server is a Dell 710R running WindowServer 2008R2 with latest SP. (all is well - working). The pertinent detail is:
"storage controller
perc 6i scsi disk drive controller"
- Dell perc 6/I integrated Raid controller (megasas.sys)
- Microsoft iScsi initiator (Msicsi.sys)
- iscilog.dll
- File version 6.0.6002.18005.
I've scoured the installation media for both the WindowsServer 2008R2 and WindowsServer 2012 R2 looking for drivers. Please send me a link for the drivers or a KB telling me what to do. I can't find the drivers on any support sites (LSI, Dell, MSFT, etc) which work during upgrade. The mass storage device drivers. Please point me to where to get the drivers (megasas.sys, msiscsi.sys) that will work during the upgrade process (Mass storage drivers) or a url that will help. Dell is telling me the drivers are on the windows installation media, but when I search various locations with no luck.
Thank you in advance.................. Steve
