UNSOLVED
MD3200I and Server 2012
Hello,
is Server 2012 supported now with these arrays ?
I had downloaded the latest iso "DELL_MDSS_Consolidated_RDVD_4_1_0_88.iso" from Dell site
but when i go thru the installation i don't see the option's for "Host" and "Providers", Just have "Management Station" option.
when i go thru the same iso on server 2008 box i see all the usual options ?
i was under the impression that Dell has released the Host software for 2012.....did any one have have success with this ?

The file you are using is the correct file. What firmware version is currently installed on the MD3200i?

After doing some research I found something to have you look into that could cause something like this to happen. Uninstall RDVD/MDSM and then uninstall Microsoft KB2779768, then reboot the host. Next, install Dell RDVD version 4.1.0.88 to fix the issue. If required, reinstall Microsoft KB2779768.
Ok solved it ...Its weird i just created another local admin account and ran the the installation again and can now see the host software and other options aswell...... not too sure why it wont work from the other account even though that's a local admin...

Windows Server 2012 Standard is a support OS for the MD3200i. Although it requires you to have the firmware up to at least 07.84.44.60. Below is the support matrix for the 3200i and the listed operating systems are on page 14.
