    Also I read on HP's site that they don't allow firmware upgrades...

    If i provide these details of my friend in US and use my CC from 'AsiaLand' to pay.. it'll be ok?

    Fortunately iLO access is controlled through the system, which you then gain full access to via the console. I gave myself permission to upgrade iLO firmware, updated that via browser, then booted it from HP's upgrade ISO and replaced the really old firmware with the latest update.

    @Pats

    can't you order from an OVH at your location?

    -disregard I just noticed you said Asia

    @komo said: german kimsufi (isgenug.de) Q6600 4x 2.40 GHz 1TB for $33,5 vs. datashack 35$?

    You have to live in Germany to get that deal, but you can live anywhere in this world to order Datashack dedis...

    It will be flagged by their ordering system as fraud...and as much as I hate to say, people with Asian credit cards and US addresses seems to be almost an "obvious" pattern of fraud...

    EDIT: ignore this, seems to work for @HalfEatenPie

    @jarland said: The error I'm getting while trying to install is due to network not loading it to the machine fast enough

    Are you using iLO virtual device to load esxi? I tried loading windows on a machine I have at home it has iLO1 and I used the virtual cd-rom loaded just fine. Could also be that iLO is only licensed to windows that's why esxi won't load?

  • jarjar Patron Provider, Top Host, Veteran

    @earl Yeah loading the ISO in the java window. HP talks like it's a recognized issue that they plan on fixing later in 2007 (well done?).

    Its not true, there are ways. If you want to know how just scan the forum a little or msg me.

  • earlearl Member

    tried with a proxmox cd loads ok too, but can't seem to get iso's loaded.. maybe you can burn the esxi image to a cd and use the virtual cd-rom in iLO to link to your local cd-rom?

    My DL360 G3.. 10k Raid 0 SCSI

    Hmm.. not sure how that worked, thought Raid 1 would be slower.

  • HalfEatenPieHalfEatenPie Veteran

    Mine set up with hardware Raid 1 (2x standard hard drive)

    well my DL360 is pretty much useless as the cpu can only take 32 bit processors.. was thinking about getting a Dell 1850 as they're pretty cheap..

    @jarland Do you still have a link to where you downloaded the firmware .bin file? I for the life of me can't figure out where to get it from.

    The link in the iLO firmware page goes to this page: http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/DriverDownload.jsp?prodNameId=1135772&lang=en&cc=us&prodTypeId=15351&prodSeriesId=1146658&taskId=135

    You can also activate an advanced evaluation license of iLO by using the key "34T6L-4C9PX-X8D9C-GYD26-8SQWM", nothing useful in the advanced version though.

    @AsadHaider Either my internet is acting up or HP's site is. I'll do you one better:

    @jarland Awesome, cheers :)

    Planning on keeping your machine for anything? or just trying it out for a month or two?

    @AsadHaider Honestly I just don't know if I can let this thing slip out of my hands, you know? I've got a $30/m vps that I literally do nothing with, think I'm gonna trade them out.

    Probably Minecraft and remote desktop.

    @jarland

    I burned the image of esxi to cd and it seems to work.. I guess the problem is iLO does not like iso's

  • ihatetonyyihatetonyy Member

    @earl said: I guess the problem is iLO does not like iso's

    I just finished up a Debian ISO netinstall using the "Integrated Remote Console" with IE; you could try that.

    (I'll excuse everyone on the board to go collectively vomit at the thought of using IE now.)
