Problem is Server does not continue to boot to windows if both HP smart Array is Enabled on the BIOS
I need both controller to be enabled so 420i controller is where my OS is and 420 Controller is where my data is
Scenerios
a.) If 420i Controller is enable and set as default boot controller & 420 Controller is disable then server boots properly. But need the 2nd 420 controller as Data Drive
b.)If both controller is enabled at BIOS and 420i is set as default boot then it stops from the windows Logo and stop responding
c.) if 420 is enabled on BIOS and set as default boot and tried to install OS is get stock in booting and does not continue(Did this just to test if it manages to install OS on 420 Controller)
Hardware Installed under windows 2012 Datacenter
1x HP Smart Array P420i Controller
– with 8x 300GB SAS 2.5″ 15k
– Raid 1+0
1x HP Smart Array P420 Controller
– with 8x 600GB SAS 2.5″ 10k
– Raid 1+0
Note : No data to be lost since its a new server
Goal

– 420 PCI Controller with 8 hard disk to be the Data drive
Please need help on this. Thanks
