Bug ID: 221056
Summary: FreBSD 11 can not be remotely installed on older HP
Proliant models
Product: Base System
Version: 11.0-RELEASE
Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
Severity: Affects Many People
Priority: ---
Component: bin
Assignee: freebsd-bugs@FreeBSD.org
Reporter: cwf-ml@arcor.de
Trying to install 11.0-amd64 on a HP Proliant DL360G7
Which like all our servers, sits in some data center where I can not physic=
ally
access it. So the only possible method (and, indeed, the only method at all=
for
certain types of servers) is installation via HP iLo.
ILOs can use both ISO and IMG files, to simulate CDROMs/DVDs and Flash Imag=
es.
Now FreeBSD broke HP's iLo based CDROM emulation somehwere in 8.x or 9.x, a=
nd
never bothered to fix it, despite being told about it. HP changed iLo Firmw=
are
on G8 and G9 to work around that problem, but there is no such Update for o=
lder
models. For them the memstick image was the only way to go.
The uefi memstick image doesn't boot on those older Proliants, as they don't
support UEFI either. As there is no other available installation method,
FreeBSD 11 can not be installed at all.
