Hello Everyone,
I am trying to deploy a standalone MDT build (Server 2008 R2 ENT x64) onto a Proliant DL460c server via iLO Virtual DVD Media (ISO) in the UEFI mode. The ISO boots up into WinPE properly, formats the drive with the GPT architecture and applies the operating system. When the server reboots back onto OS to carry on with the rest of the deployment I’m presented with a message prompt to insert CD/DVD media to continue the deployment. What I found out is that once the server is rebooted into OS, the mounted ISO is not present/visible, hence the deployment cannot reconnect back to the ‘build content’ to carry on with the build.
The ilo page (Virtual Media section) shows that media is connected. I can see the CD/DVD media is 'ticked' in the Virtual Drives within remote console, but it does not appear in the OS.
Also, the CD/DVD drive doesnt appear when I attempt to mount it manually.
The problem doesnt occur when the image is deployed in the BIOS Legacy mode. The above anomalies happen only when the deployment is performed in the UEFI mode.
The server/build details are below:
Build type: Standalone ISO Windows Server 2008 R2 ENT x64
Server model: Proliant DL460c Gen9
System ROM: I36 v1.40 (05/06/2015)
System ROM: Date 05/06/2015
Backup System ROM: I36 v1.32 (03/06/2015)
Integrated Remote Console: .NET Java
License Type: iLO 4 Standard Blade Edition
iLO Firmware Version: 2.20 May 20 2015
The ISO has been successfully deployed on a virtual environment in UEFI mode.
This has been driving me crazy for quite some time, and I think I ran out of ideas.
I would appreciate your ideas/suggestions.
