Hpe Smart Array S100i Sr Gen10 Driver Windows Server 2022 Guide

Complete Guide: HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10 Driver for Windows Server 2022

Introduction

When deploying Windows Server 2022 on HPE ProLiant Gen10 or Gen10 Plus servers, one of the most common roadblocks system administrators face is storage controller recognition. Specifically, the HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10—a software-based RAID controller—does not have native inbox drivers in Microsoft's latest operating system.

The Root Cause

The HPE Smart Array S100i is a software RAID (a.k.a. Fake RAID) controller. It relies on the CPU and a specific driver package to expose the logical volume to the OS. hpe smart array s100i sr gen10 driver windows server 2022

The solution: Provide the driver during the OS installation or inject it afterward. Complete Guide: HPE Smart Array S100i SR Gen10

, a dedicated driver is available to enable full functionality and RAID management, as the OS installation media does not include these drivers natively. Hewlett Packard Enterprise Driver Details & Support Support Status: Windows Server 2022 is fully supported. Key Version: 1010.14.0.0(C) Windows Server 2019 uses driver version 10

Step 2: Install During Windows Server 2022 Setup

This is the most common scenario — clean installation.

• Windows Server 2019 uses driver version 10.0.17763.1705
• Windows Server 2022 expects a newer driver architecture, but HPE never released an official 2022 driver for the S100i.

If you want, I can provide step-by-step commands for loading the driver during Windows Server 2022 setup or locate the specific HPE driver page for a particular ProLiant model (tell me the server model).

Direct link tip: Search for “S100i Windows Server 2022 driver” on the HPE support site — avoid third-party driver sites.
