BL860ci2 11.31 install
Hello all,
I am having some trouble getting an install to start on a BL860ci2 in a C7000.
I am using part number BA929-10009 to install, which appears to be 11.31.1109.
I have a monitor, keyboard and portable USB drive attached via the SUV cable to the blade.
I can get the system to boot from the media, but the first option I am presented with is to choose the installation source. I have a list of 28 devices: NIC's, usb devices, processors, fc devices, etc...
I cant make any selection beyond this point that allows me to continue. If I select any of the USB devices in the list, it says: "Not a valid install device, try again"
The only device that will allow me to continue with the installation is the HDD, but that gets no where because this is a cold install on a new server.
We do not have an Ignite-UX server available to install from. I have to install from this DVD media.
Any help you can provide is grealy appreciated.
--John

Re: BL860ci2 11.31 install
Not sure what the reason is, but as a workaround you can use the virtual media via iLO to install the OS.
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: BL860ci2 11.31 install
Yes I had to take that route.
I worked with a support technician from HP to find that the portable drive I was using was unsupported. I was told that typically you want to use externally powered portable DVD drives. I was using an externally powered Sony drive, but from what I have been reading or hearing from others, you want to stick with a HP portable drive.
Thanks!
