XG installation on HP MicroServer

Bumbing old thread :D

I had similar problems, and it seems to be something on Microservers bios or so.

Tested on buildin (fake)raid controller on legacy,achi,raid mode. No luck. Tested also on LSI 2008 based sas raid/hba controller, same thing.

Installation goes without problems, and infact if i transfer the HDD to another machine XG boots on that without problems.

I solved problem on mine side by creating bootable usb stick (http://www.easy2boot.com/) and edited that to boot by default on 1st HDD, and that way XG boots and works on Microserver without problems.

Thanks for that worked at treat!

Hey,

I'm trying to do the same but it's not working. I prepped the USB with Easy2boot and dumped the Sophos XG ISO into the \_ISO\AUTO folder

When I boot from I get the error:

Starting Firmware Installation

Failed getting ISO disk

Press y to reboot

Any ideas?

Thanks

Hi,

Just carry out a regular installation of XG directly from your installation media. After use the Easy2Boot to boot into XG

Hi,

Thanks, I was being stupid. Never used this tool before.

I am having exactly this issue, but if I use easy2boot and boot from the first HDD, I just get a blinking cursor and it doesn't seem to do anything. Am I missing something? :/

I have been running a Sophos XG as a virtual machine on the HP MircoServer Gen8 for 2 years without problems. The installation and booting works without any problems and that I had to use some tricks: Create a virtual machine, insert the Sophos XG ISO image into the virtual CD drive and install it.
The hypervisor is a free VMWare ESXi server in version 6.5. The server has 12 GB RAM and besides the Sophos XG there are 3 other LINUX VMs running on this hardware.
