I'm in the process of migrating our physical and virtual servers to 2012 R2. One device is a Powervault NX400 which is running Storage Server 2008 R2. Does anyone have experience of installing the standard edition of Server 2012 R2 on one of these, and what's the best procedure? As I recall, F10 on boot allows the firmware to be updated but unlike the standard Dell servers doesn't have an option to deploy an OS. Does it work successfully if the OS is just installed from standard boot media, and then drivers then downloaded from the Dell support site and installed? My concern is whether the installation media will recognise the RAID controller.
Thanks
