Hi, i want install SLES 11 x.64 on DL380 G7. I download the Smartstat 8.60 x64 and run this on the Server. If i select the OS i only see Windows Server OS. So, what is the best way to install SLES 11 x.64 on a DL380G7?

Regards
Dirk

Configure the Smart Array either using the SmartStart CD, or pressing F8 during the Smart Array init during POST and configure your drives. Once that's done boot the SLES media and install.

UPDATE: PSP installation is not a requirement, but can be installed if you want/need the agent functionality.
