This guide applies to dedicated servers HP ProLiant DL320e Gen8 v2.
In this article, you will learn:
Connecting KVM
The KVM application requires a Java environment.
To get the application for iLO KVM access, follow these steps:
- In your browser, enter into the address bar the IP address of the server from the Customer Administration or from the service activation email including the port.
- On the login screen, enter the username and password from the service activation email.
- In the left menu, open Information Overview.
- Next to Integrated Remote Console click Java Web Start.
- Download and run the file iLO-jirc.jnlp.
Booting from an ISO
Once the KVM interface is open, boot from an ISO using these steps:
- Using Power Switch Momentary press turn on the server.
- Via the tab Virtual Drives attach your own ISO:
- From your computer, using the option Image File CD/DVD-ROM.
- From the Internet, using the option URL CD/DVD-ROM.
- After attaching, restart via Keyboard >> CTRL+ALT+DEL.
For a significantly faster installation, we recommend attaching installation media of the type netinstall.
RAID Setup
The server has 2 physical disks.
By default, the dedicated server is in AHCI SATAmode. In this mode, you set up RAID in software.
To change to SATA Legacy Support, to Dynamic HP Smart Array B120i RAID Support, or back to AHCI SATA contact Support as an authorized user via the contact form ⧉.
Before contacting Support, boot into the BIOS entry screen. The usual processing time for a request is a few hours during regular business hours; outside of these hours it may take longer.
Changing the mode may result in data loss, so make sure you back up your data outside the server.
SATA Legacy is suitable for older operating systems that do not support any other mode. It is kept for backward compatibility. In this mode, you also set up RAID in software.
Mode B120i mode supports RAID 0 and 1. You set it up in the tool HP Smart Array. For this mode, the operating system must include drivers.
