Dec 02, 2015  HP Proliant DL360 Gen9 installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7 x86_64 with Dynamic Smart Array (software RAID implemented on UEFI). HP ProLiant DL380 Gen9 Server Raid 1+0. Install CentOS 6.5. Installing Centos 7 on HP Proliant Microserver Gen 8 using B120i RAID controller After several trials and errors trying to install Centos with this server, I realize the proper way to do it is by using the following software combination (January 2016). HP ProLiant DL120 Gen9 Server User Guide Abstract This document is for the person who installs, administers, and troubleshoots servers and storage systems.

I'm trying to install CentOS 7 on a HP DL120 gen 9 server with a b140i controller. I have 4 1TB HDD setup in a raid 1+0 and the CentOS installer doesn't seem to recognize the logical drive created from the storage utility.

From my understanding i need some drivers for CentOS 7 to recognize the B140i controller. Also, the driver seems to be closed source by HP.

What is my approach here?Is there any other free linux OS that i can use on this server and that would recognize the raid controller?

Thank you.

Ok, so after countless hours spent searching for the B140i Dynamic Storage Array drivers, I managed to find the driver by downloading the HP service pack for Proliant, mounting the iso locally and finding the hpdsa driver inside a folder named DUD.

Thanks in advance. Bill Kindle wrote: If you are donating them or selling them, you should just leave them with no OS. Windows xp pro sp3 hp oem s.

The steps I did in order to successfully install CentOS 7 on my HP Proliant DL120 gen 9 are the following:

Idt audio driver hp beats 15. Audio > Beats audio drivers for windows 10??? Having trouble signing in? Sp63555 is only for those notebooks with the IDT HD audio with the Beats software. I have already installed realtek HD audio driver in my envy 15 k 220 nr but issue is that beats audio is not fully functioned.

1. Download CentOS Image and write it on a USB;
2. Download HPProliant Service Pack and locate the hpds driver inside it(download only the b140i drivers from here);
3. Use dd to write the appropriate driver (u0 or u1) on a separate USB drive;
4. Insert the CentOS USB in the server, boot from it but at theinstall menu, press e in case of an UEFI system and add on thelinuxefi line the following inst.dd modprobe.blacklist=ahci;
5. Press Ctrl+x or the keys needed to continue the installation;
6. Insert the usb drive with the driver;
7. Press r to refresh the drive list and choose the appropriate drive;
8. After it unpacks, continue with the installation as usual;

Special thanks to @ewwhite and @michael-hampton :)

Hope this helps someone else who is facing this problem and is not experienced with servers.

You need to use a driver disk. For EL7, use the RHEL drivers on a USB key for ease.
