Insert the SD card in the slot and boot, install Openmediavault, it will detect the 2,5″ HDDĪfter installation: remove the SD card, Openmediavault will boot. Install the OpenMediaVault ISO on the SD card, than make sure in the BIOS of the HP Microserver you can boot from it when starting the device. Make sure you use AHCI mode for the disks, the RAID module of HP cannot be used. USB Thumbdrive (preferred 2 if you do not use a SD card)įirst connect the hardware (cables & HDD), do not insert the SD card or USB thumbdrive, do not insert the 4 Data disks (SATA) yet.To be able to boot from the 2,5″ HDD you need a number of items (ODD power cable & internal free SATA port) To solve this issue: I use an old 2,5″ HDD connected to the ODD port. The problem here is that it is not wise to have many write actions to a SD card or USB thumbdrive. For this you have options:īoot from SD card, boot from USB (internal) and than use the Datadisks.


I want to use the 4HDD’s of the Microserver soley as Data disks and not the OS. I have 3 4 HP Microservers and 2 3 of them are running OpenMediaVault
