Raw Blame History

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.

  • 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 have.

I never got the unattended install to work, I believe it's because I was creating the ISO on MacOS.

  • The install was completed with a trial license of iDrac Enterprise and the virtual console.

Initially the installer didn't detect any drives, that's because the RAID controller was in RAID n

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
