DL360 Gen10 - Windows Server 2016 Std Installation

techomaster — Tue, 09 Apr 2019 10:47:16 GMT

Hello Community,

I've got an HPE OEM ProLiant DL360 Gen10 8SFF Configure-to-order Server.
It came with Microsoft Windows Server 2016 (16-core) Standard FIO Not Pre-installed English SW on the order.

The server came with the "Kit DVD WS16 (16 core) Std FIO en".

Step 5 states:
1. Power up the server. 2. You will be prompted to select the preferred language under Regional Settings Page if your operating system includes multi-language interfaces. Select the appropriate language and click Continue.
This is definetly not working (how should if there is nothing on the drives)

I can't boot from the DVD.
So I tried it with Intelligent Provisioning - Express OS install. (I created RAID 1 before)
I used the following settings and get the failure with invalid Media.
How does HPE think I should install WS16 with their media???
Is there a tool I need to boot from to create the partitions and "install helper" to kickstart the installation?
I know it from Gen9 that there was already a RAID setup and it was bootable to actually start the installation like described in the HPE documentation (but the documentation is from 2016, so nothing current for Gen10)
Can someone help?

Anybody know how to resovle this issue ?
