HP PROLIANT DL385 G7 and SD CARD

[lombardialess]

Hi,

it is possible to use a not Hp branded SD Card (Sandisk) in this server?

I need an SD Card greater than 4 gb and Hp branded are 4 gb maximum.

Esxi 5 need more space as a boot partition.

HP is supporting only installation of ESXi on SD cards if they are the HP-branded options, which part numbers are:
HP 2GB USB Flash Media Drive Key.
HP part number 608447-B21.
Spare kit number 608863-001.
HP 4GB SD Flash Media.
HP part number 580387-B21.
Spare kit part 583306-001.

If you want to use a 3rd-party SD Card, make sure it is SD-HC complaint.
