What's going on guys it is Bernardo from the BTNHD and today we are going to install our
operating system using a USB within the power edge, R620.
I already inserted two flash drives in the back.
The top USB right here is actually USB one and the bottom one is USB two.
The one in the bottom is where I'm going to install the operating system.
And this is where I'm going to boot, the VMware ESXi operating system to start the installation
and pick this guy to install the operating system, and then configure the boot menu to
boot, out of this guy to boot inside the operating system and then completely take advantage
of all eight drives for my storage, which I actually did a video with you guys.
Hopefully you guys enjoy that video on configuring this as a raid 10, so let's go inside the
Lifecycle Controller and start the installation.
Alright so we inserted, our flash drives inside our power edge, R620.
We are within our Lifecycle Controller, and from here we are going to click on the OS
deployment.
We are going to click on deploy OS, we have five steps to complete on step one, we have
two options.
One is to configure the raid first or go directly to the OS deployment now on the last video
together we configure the RAID configuration within the R620, we're going to pick on go
directly to the OS deployment and then click on Next, on step two, we need to select operating
system as well as pick up boot mode.
This is really up to you.
Click on the drop down menu, pick your operating system and then once you pick your operating
system is going to start composing the OS drivers.
Once that's done, you're going to click on next and go to step three.
Now in step three, you have two options which is the installation mode you have unintended
or manual install.
Now I'm going to pick manual install and then click on next and then select your OS media
for step four, now again I have two flash drives inserted inside the R620.
So you got to make sure you pick the right one USB one is the one that I want to boot
into USB two is the one that I want to install the operating system into.
Yeah.
So click on that drop down menu pick the correct flash drive.
And for me, will be USB one.
Okay, it's gonna start validating the OS media.
Once it's done, you're at step five which is reboot the system.
Click on Finish.
You get this nice little informative dialog box.
Once is done, your machine is going to reboot and take you here.
Awesome.
Now on this video together we are going to install ESXi 6.5 on R620.
I'm going to hit enter to continue is going to start loading up the installer it's going
to continue loading everything up once all the loading is completed is going to take
you here, you're going to click on enter.
Accept the license and terms and just click on F11 is going to start scanning all the
available drives, and then bam, select the disk to install or upgrade.
So again, it is going to be, USB two.
And I like inserting flash drives with different names, because if you have the same flash
drive like for example if you have like a two SanDisk, it's going to be confusing and
picking.
So that's the reason why I had like a SanDisk, and then I had the data traveler.
So what you're going to do from here is, pick your flash drive where you want to install
the operating system into.
For this example, I'm going to pick the SanDisk ultra USB 3.0.
And then I'm going to hit enter, it's going to start gathering additional information
once it's complete, it's going to tell you this, I'm going to hit enter, because I do
want to wipe it clean, and boom, pick your keyboard layout, hit enter, enter your root
password as well as confirm it and hit enter again, it's going to start gathering more
information, it's going to prompt you the following confirm the install yes yeah I want
to install it so press F11, it's going to start installing the ESXi 6.5 on the R620.
Once it's done, you're going to get this, so we need to head over, remove that flash
drive.
Make sure you remove the correct flash drive for me it was USB one which was the top one
so we are going to remove that comeback and then continue.
Alright so installation is completed, it wants me to remove the flash drive and then hit
enter to reboot.
So we're going to go to the back of the R620.
This is the one I need to remove
i got use my fat fingers to get in there
we go, bam, awesome.
put that to side.
All right, so we remove the flash drive from the R620, we're back here we're going to hit
enter to reboot, it's going to start rebooting the machine.
Once it's done, what you want to do is get inside the BIOS system setup from here we
are going to pick on system BIOS, and we are going to click on boot setting, and within
boot settings we are going to click on BIOS boot setting from here we are going to go
inside the hard disk drive sequence, and just make sure you organize it to the point that
the flash drive is going to be the primary hard drive, that the R620 is going to boot
into so I made the modifications I made the USB first, and then the controller and then
you know the flash medium.
Click OK, click back.
You're going
to get this hit yes for the changes, you're going to get a nice setting save successfully.
Awesome, you're going to click on the exit button, and once you click on the exit button
you are going to get this nice little warning saying are you sure you want to exit and reboot
just hit yes for there, it's going to restart the machine and start loading up the VMware
ESXi on R620.
And once everything is completed, bam, there you go.
You're good to go.
