LSI SAS 1064E drivers for Server 2012

lsiwindows-server-2012

I have a need to place Windows Server 2012 onto a Sunfire X4100 blade server that contains a LSI SAS 1064e RAID controller (2006). The LSI site only has drivers up to server 2008 R2.

I did attempt to install server 2012 hoping it might contain generic MS Drivers (I was dreaming, I know). That failed. I attempted to load external LSI drivers for server 2008. That failed as well.

Am I out of luck, or did I miss something? Thanks in advance.

Unfortunately, you're out of luck. From my exchange with LSI over exactly this issue:

Windows 2012 is not supported. The chip has been OEL'd so we will not software updates for it.

You can download the latest software here: http://www.lsi.com/products/storagecomponents/Pages/LSISAS1068E.aspx

To get around this we're bypassing the RAID controller direct to a SATA port on the motherboard.
