This guide applies to HP ProLiant DL320e Gen8 v2 dedicated servers.
In this article, you will learn, how to:
Connect KVM
The KVM app requires Java runtime.
Follow these steps to get the iLO KVM Access app:
- Enter your server’s ip adress and port into the browser.
- On the login screen, enter the username and password from the service creation notification email.
- In the left menu, open Information >> Overview.
- At Integrated Remote Console, click Java WebStart.
- Download and launch iLO-jirc.jnlp.
Boot from ISO
Once you open the KVM interface, boot from an ISO file by following these steps:
- Use Power Switch >> Momentary press to turn the server on.
- Select the Virtual Drives, connect the ISO:
- From the computer using Image File CD/DVD-ROM.
- From the Internet using URL CD/DVD-ROM.
- Once the ISO is connected, restart using Keyboard >> CTRL+ALT+DEL.
For faster installation, we recommend connecting media of the netinstall type.
RAID Setup
The server has 2 physical hard disks.
By default, the dedicated server is in AHCI SATA mode. RAID in this mode is set by software.
To change to SATA Legacy Support, to Dynamic HP Smart Array B120i RAID Support, or back to AHCI SATA, contact support.
Boot to BIOS before contacting support. The normal processing time for this request is up to several hours.
You may lose data by changing the RAID mode. Back them up outside the server.
SATA Legacy is suitable for older operating systems that do not support other modes. You can also set RAID in this mode using software.
The B120i mode supports RAID 0 and 1. Set it up in the HP Smart Array tool. The operating system must include drivers for this mode.
