Windows Server 2016

When will Server 2016 be supported on the Powervault MD32? It has been released since October and has been available for testing since a long time.

    Hi,

    Just as a test I have tried to load the INF on Windows Server 2016 and the drivers are laded fine and MPIO seems to be working. It wouldn't be detected in the setup though but adding the inf manually it installed the Dell MPIO drivers and the drives are not duplicated anymore.

    Hi,

    Could you list the steps you used to load the driver?  I'm having a hard time finding them on CD.

    Thanks,

    Mike

    So the December release of MDSM adds "official" win2016 support and got rid of the MPIO issues.

    BUT

    I am running it with two different 2016 hyper-v clusters and have experienced some random CSV crashes on both now (a CSVIOTM-date-time.dmp file is generated and VMs on the affected LUNs crash, as does the host eventually).

    This never happened prior to this release, and actually never happened on win2016 TP5 which I was running for months as part of the microsoft beta program (which didn't show the mpio issue with earlier MDSM releases oddly enough).

    Anyone else seen any instability?
