The S100i is a software-based RAID controller embedded into the HPE ProLiant Gen10 server line. Unlike its hardware-based siblings (like the P408i or E208i), the S100i relies on the host CPU and the proper operating system driver to create and manage RAID arrays (0, 1, 5, and 10). Without the correct driver, Windows Server 2022 will not detect any logical drives during installation, leaving you staring at a blank storage selection screen.
There are two primary methods for deploying Windows Server 2022 with the S100i controller. Point the wizard to the latest extracted driver
While the S100i is not a high-performance RAID controller, you can optimize it for Windows Server 2022:
