Workaround 1. Extract the QLogic driver from either SSM 7.0 or SSM 7.1, or download it
from the HP website (http://hp.com/support/itaniumservers). It must be
version 9.1.8.19 or later. If you extract from the website, click on your target
server model number, select Download drivers and software, select Microsoft
Windows Server 2008 R2 for Itanium-Based Systems, and in the Fibre
Channel HBA Storage Controller section, select the latest QLogic driver.
2. Copy the extracted driver to a folder named QLogic on a USB RAM drive.
3. Install the OS using EBSU and Microsoft media as you would normally,
except use the Load Driver option during the install process to install the
newer driver from the USB RAM drive. After the driver is successfully loaded
onto the system, select your OS partition and proceed with the installation
as normal. For more information, see the Windows Server 2008 R2 on
Integrity Servers Installation Guide.
