I'm unable to install Airwave 8.0.8.1 on a new HP DL380 Gen 9 Server.

Although the Server recognizes the DVD drive, it reports there is no bootable media.

I have verified that the DVD boots on a Gen8 Server, so it is not a bad disk.

I suspect something with CentOS/UEFI/and Secure boot.

Has anyone else tried this on a Gen9 server from HP?

Thanks.

You should be able to change the Bios boot option to not use UEFI. I had that issue installing ESXi on my Intel NUC. I had to disable the EFI boot option in order for the ESXi disk to boot and install.

I've had issues installing airwave in the past on a Dell Server.  I ended up just installing ESX on the server then loading Airwave as a VM.  In the long run it turned out to be a better solution because now Airwave is mobile (VMotion) and I can take snapshots before doing upgrades for easy rollbacks if something goes wrong.

My path might not be the solution you want but it works well.  My environment is 95% VM so we're very comfortable with the solution.

The HP DL380 does recognizes the ISO burned to a USB key, legacy BIOS boot, boots to Aruba install, but keyboard does not respoing. :(

Have you find any solution on your issue ?

I also set the BIOS legacy mode but unable to get to destination

I am having a same issue . Our company bought new server HP DL380 Gen9 but this server does not recognizes hardisk

Hi Neil,

Some of the Gen9 servers doesnt support Centos below 6.6. Could you please try with 8.0.9.1 ISO image and check whether it is getting detected? 

8.0.9.1 comes with 6.6 version of Centos.

I am having a same issue. During intallation it gives error as mentioned in the snapshot

Hi Islamabad,

Your issue looks to be different from that of Neil. In your case we are already on 8.2 which have 6.6 version of Centos, however the disk says full.

When are we getting this message ? Is it right after we type install? Are we doing custom partition here?

I would also request you to open a TAC case, so that TAC can analyze the same and get a resolution faster.

Dear vishnu,

On HP DL380 Gen9 there is only single hardisk of 250 GB and I made an array of Raid 0 which shows 

1 Logical Volume of 250 GB

1 Physical Driver of 250

0 unassigned drive

Above information shows that Array has been correctly configured. At the time of installation process I didnt make any custom partition and just type a command install

What do you recommend do I need to type a command manual to make the partitions ?

I didnt check this option so far...
