Hello Folks,
I have a new Dell server with the configuration of 1 TB RAM, , BOSS Card SSD 500 GB
Windows Server 2022 gets installed successfully, however when Hyper V Role is enabled it goes to a continuous reboot, BSD of DPC Watchdog violation.
When OS is installed on the disk which has more than 1 TB of disk space have no issues with the OS even after enabling the Hyper-V role.
on the same server, Windows server 2019 works on 500GB SSD.
Is there any prerequisite with the windows server OS disk, such as RAM against OS disk
The following troubleshooting steps I have performed.
Windows Server 2022 installation GUI and Core
Changing page file location to another disk
Hardware diagnostics, no issues found.
Your suggestions and feedback will be much appreciated.

Mark F 0 Reputation points2023-07-24T20:13:36.72+00:00 I've also hit the same issue. 2019 works on the BOSS and on the SAS array, but 2022 ONLY works on the SAS array. Installing to the BOSS SSD array and enabling Hyper-V role causes the BSOD with DPC Watchdog Violation.

2022-10-17T13:29:10.337+00:00 It's been through Dell, No issue with Hardware.
On the same hardware Windows Server 2019 HV works, so I think something has changed in Server 2022

Without a doubt, this is why the hardware goes through a certification process. Since the server is new support via Dell should be free of charge. If you wanted microsoft support you can start a a new paid case here.

2023-07-24T20:42:49.2766667+00:00 Was this ever resolved? I'm having the exact same issue and can replicate the same steps and get the same outcome. I also opened a support case with Dell, who did a hardware diagnostic, said everything was working and up-to-date and sent me on my way.

2023-08-03T18:50:32.4+00:00 Do you have a link to where you copied that from?
Is the fix coming as firmware update from Dell or Windows update/ISO update from Microsoft? -

2023-08-08T11:56:32.21+00:00 That's from the email I got from Dell on the case which I have opened with Dell.
this will be a form of Windows update. -

2023-08-08T23:09:37.86+00:00 Thanks for replying, Pradeep. I'll keep my eyes open for a new ISO in September/October and try again. What's weird is that this happened with a Dell PowerEdge T350, but did NOT happen for two identically equipped Dell PowerEdge R350s! The only difference was the T350 had an Intel 710 10gb NIC card and the R350s had a Broadcom 10gb NIC card (in addition to the two Broadcom LOM ports)

Lawrence H 0 Reputation points2023-09-05T17:12:25.2833333+00:00 Also experiencing this on an HP ML 350 Gen9 with Server 2016.... Took forever to figure out.
After Hyper-V Role was installed, suddenly Windows Backup when it started would cause DPC Watchdog Violation.
Really hoping OS Updates will fix it.

Jayson C 0 Reputation points2023-09-05T19:28:02.56+00:00 Same problem with an R350 and Server 2022. I've tried various options, installing HV role before any drivers, installing it after. Doesn't matter, triggers a DPC_WATCHDOG violation if your OS is installed on a BOSS array.
Isn't the point of paying for Tier 1 hardware that it's validated for the approved operating systems? I consider installing the OS and the Hyper-V role a pretty bloody basic task and something that should have been validated.
This is a MS and Dell fail if you ask me. KVM/Proxmox looks better by the day.

2023-09-06T14:16:27.8933333+00:00 Well I would say it isn't just Dell, since I'm experiencing the same thing on an HP.
I did forget to mention I tried updating firmware in controller and bios, and updated all drivers
