Non-System disk or disk error replace and strive any key when ready

[GreenlandAtl]

I have some experience with Linux and Unix but not in configuring a server from scratch.

I got this error message when i powered up the server:

"Non-System disk or disk error

replace and strive any key when ready"

I got this decommission Proliant DL360 rack mount server from my company and would like to use to learn VMware vSphere Hypervisor.

I don't know what this message means but I assuming that it means that it didd not find an OS. any help would be awesome!!

Thanks ,

It means that you need to install an OS on the server.

There are many generations of DL360 (Gx-G7).

Check that your version supports the version of VMWare you want to install: 

(you kind of need your CPU to be able to handle virtualization)

Some VMWare you can install inside another OS, some of their hypervisors is the primary underlying OS.
