Cant install CentOS-7-x86_64-DVD-1611 on newly purchased XL420 Gen 10

It doesnt seems to work on all the OS I have used so far.

With CentOS 7 , I dont see the RAID1 disc as installation destination. But can see other storage disc

With CentOS 8 I only see dark screen at some point during installation

With RHEL 7.8  it get stuck at the screen below

Hi,

For RHEL check the VAR log messages. Try to check with RHEL to see if its poiting to any Hardware in particular.

Also try to remove any additional Cards if possible and then try installing the same.

See if that boots normally.

Thank you

No physical access to the server. And seems the OS installed on the 1.2 TB hard drive and this wasnt part of the RAID1 created. Meaning the RAID1 is not seems during the installation.

Hi,

Would suggest you to try : 

1) Run SPP https://techlibrary.hpe.com/us/en/enterprise/servers/products/service_pack/spp/index.aspx (again if was already done)

2) Try installing manually (not from IP)

3) Preferrably using the ISO image copied in a Thumbdrive

Thank you
