Hello everyone,
I hope you can help me out with a problem I've been struggling with for a while.
My Setup:
I need to add a new hot spare to my existing RAID 5 array. Unfortunately, arcfilt.sys is completely missing on my system, which means arcconf and maxView Storage Manager cannot communicate with the controller:
What I have already tried:
Any version of maxView Storage Manager or Adaptec Storage Manager that correctly installs arcfilt.sys on Windows Server 2019 with an Adaptec RAID 6405 present.
Alternatively, if anyone has the arcfilt.sys and arcfilt.inf files available from a working installation, that would also solve my problem – I can install the driver manually using:
cmd
pnputil /add-driver arcfilt.inf /installsc start arcfilt
As a workaround I could also use Ctrl+A during POST to access the Adaptec BIOS utility and assign the hot spare there – but a proper software solution would be preferred for long-term management.
Any help, download links or even just the arcfilt.sys + arcfilt.inf files would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance!

I hope you can help me out with a problem I've been struggling with for a while.
My Setup:
- HP ProLiant Microserver Gen 8
- Controller: Adaptec RAID 6405
- OS: Windows Server 2019
- Current driver: arcsas.sys 7.5.0.58015
- RAID: RAID 5 – running stable, data accessible
I need to add a new hot spare to my existing RAID 5 array. Unfortunately, arcfilt.sys is completely missing on my system, which means arcconf and maxView Storage Manager cannot communicate with the controller:
- arcconf list → „No Adapters Found"
- sc query arcfilt → Error 1060 (service not installed)
What I have already tried:
- maxView Storage Manager 4.17 – installed but does not install arcfilt for the 6405 (incompatible with legacy controllers)
- Adaptec Storage Manager (ASM) from 2014 – installs arcsas.sys only, no arcfilt.sys, likely because it does not support Windows Server 2019
- Broadcom/Microsemi website – the 6405 is no longer listed, downloads unavailable
- Wayback Machine – access to the Broadcom download pages is forbidden
- 7-Zip extraction of the ASM installer – not possible (non-standard package format)
