Feedback on the HP ProLiant DL380p Gen8

Asked by phil miller

Cannot install Ubuntu 12.04 or 14.04 on HP 380p gen8:

This is an installation on a new, never used system.

Have followed the recommended solutions:

append RAID array name into: /dev/mapper FAILS: The interface does not allow path insertion

grub-install --root-directory=/home/ubuntu/temp /dev/sda FAILS: grub-install is not loaded

I followed the certification instruction for the BIOS: *Press F9 to boot into RBSU *Navigate to System Options -> HP Dynamic Smart Array B320i and select disable *Go to System options -> SATA Controller options and select Legacy SATA or AHCI *Reboot the machine and now you will be able to install the OS. FAILS: same error

Edit the ISO: Cannot edit using MacOS X

How can I fix this?

Hello Phil,
Since you're trying to use a RAID system, could you verify what controller you are using to configure RAID? If you are using the onboard controller, most likely this will not work, see FAQ for details.
FAQ #2001: “Why doesn't my RAID 0/1 work?”

Can you help with this problem?
