sql cluster 2008 r2 preinstall validation test 'driver unsigned' warning

  • Was going to install SQL Server 2008 R2 on Windows 2008 R2 cluster. I ran validation test there was a warning message - and it detected unsigned drivers on one or more of the nodes.

    This was the warning message under system configuration – validate all drivers signed

    Device name - Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Power Meter Device

    Device class – SYSTEM

    Driver Version - 6.1.7600.16385

    Driver Date = 6/21/2006 12:00:00 AM

    Manufacturer – Microsoft

    Inf Name - acpipmi.inf

    Device ID - ACPI\ACPI000D\2&DABA3FF&1

    Description - Microsoft ACPI-Compliant Power Meter Device

    I didn’t know about this driver or if this warning can be ignored. Does anyone know what this driver is and if I can go ahead with the install or how I get it resolved? Thank you.

  • I had the same problem. Copy the "acpipmi.ini" (C:\Windows\inf) file from the node who works to the other node. Now everthing works fine.
