HPE DL380 G9 Server

[nembulus]

Hi,

Is there any issue when installing Centos 7 on HPE DL380 G9 Server ?
I try installing with minimal iso is error when boot up on usb key.

Any special to do list when install on it ?
Thank you in advanced.

Check how you created the USB stick. Many (mainly windows based) tools try to be clever and rewrite the iso as they copy it and they fail. Best tool to use is dd but you can find a list of things known to work on http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/InstallFromUSBkey

unetbootin is on our broken list. Do macs have dd?

Hi,

Yes mac have a dd ... but the usb ke is not bootable when i use dd with this command :
dd if=Downloads/CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1611.iso of=/dev/disk2s

I have no clue about macs, but are you sure it's /dev/disk2s?
Some googling suggests it may be /dev/disk2.

it works now ... thanks

As an alternative to unetbootin (which is broken) or using dd and picking the correct disk, try Etcher.

You can download versions for macOS (aka Mac OS X), Windows (both x86 & x64, installers or portable) or Linux (32- & 64-bit).

Does a bang-up job and is free.

Cheers,
