# OOBE - iDrac prefers DHCP if available, the default IP address for IDRAC is 192.168.0.120 - The server shipped with raid5 configured across the 4 drives, I delete the raid configuration by going to storage -> virtual disks -> manage - The disk failed to delete the first time and second time - Problem resolved itself by rebooting ## Installing XCP-NG I do not have a monitor with VGA display output, and you need an iDrac enterprise to install an OS through iDrac, so I'm installing with an unattended installer via an [answer file](https://xcp-ng.org/docs/answerfile.html#answer-file-values). - I had trouble mounting the .iso file in macos, so I ended up extracting it with ``` 7zz x -tiso -y xcp-ng-8.2.1.iso -oxcp-ng-8.2.1 ``` The `install.img` extraction instructions were a bit hard for me to understand, here's what I figured out. - `iso/` is the directory you extracted the ISO into - You make the `install` directory in the `iso` dir. The ISO packing instructions are *super* dated, you'll want `xorrisofs` instead of whatever they I never got the unattended install to work, I believe it's because I was creating the ISO on MacOS # Installing Xen Orchestra - Run `bash -c "$(wget -qO- https://xoa.io/deploy)"` to spin up a VM running Xen-Orchestra, sign in to all of that, yada yada yada. - Make an account on the xen-orchestra website, you can leave the company name blank
