What if we have 2012 2016 servers? Do we have work around

[@gnancloudgarage]

If you have HPE Gen11 servers and need to support Windows Server 2012 or 2016, here are some steps and considerations to explore:
Check Official Support
1. HPE Official Compatibility: First, confirm the compatibility of HPE DL380 Gen11 with Windows Server 2012 and 2016 on the [HPE support matrix](support.hpe.com). Typically, new server models may not officially support older OS versions due to drivers and firmware requirements.
2. Drivers and Firmware: Check for the availability of compatible drivers and firmware for Windows Server 2012 and 2016 on HPE's support site.
Workarounds
If there is no official support, consider these workarounds:
1. Custom Drivers:
- Extract Drivers: Extract the drivers from newer OS versions (e.g., Windows Server 2019/2022) that are supported and attempt to use them with Windows Server 2012/2016.
- Compatibility Mode: Install drivers in compatibility mode. Right-click on the driver installer, go to Properties -> Compatibility tab, and set it to an older version of Windows.
2. VMware or Hyper-V:
- Virtualization: Run Windows Server 2012 or 2016 as virtual machines (VMs) on a host OS that is supported by the HPE DL380 Gen11. For example, use Windows Server 2019/2022 or a compatible version of VMware ESXi as the host OS, and then create VMs for the older OS versions.
3. Consult HPE Support:
- HPE Assistance: Contact HPE support directly to inquire about unofficial methods or upcoming updates that might include support for older OS versions.
4. Third-Party Drivers:
- Driver Sites: Search for third-party driver repositories that may have compatible drivers for the hardware components of the HPE DL380 Gen11.
Long-Term Considerations
1. Plan for Upgrades: Start planning to upgrade your OS to a version that is officially supported by your hardware. Running outdated OS versions can pose security risks and operational challenges.
2. Use Extended Support:
- Microsoft ESU: If you must continue using Windows Server 2012/2016, consider Microsoft's Extended Security Updates (ESU) program to keep receiving security updates.
3. Evaluate Alternatives: Assess alternative hardware solutions that support your existing OS versions without compatibility issues.
