Introduction
In a previous post, I discussed my experiences with installing a recent version of Enterprise Linux, AlmaLinux 9, on an e-waste HP ProLiant DL360 G7. I also discussed updating the firmware for the Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) remote management tool and the HP Smart Array controller, and installing the OS over the network from the iLO console. In this post I will perform some of these tasks, but for Debian instead. I will also incorporate some knowledge from my previous posts on virtualization, networking, and Ansible.
These exercises were performed on a ProLiant DL360 G7, but it’s likely that they will work on other Proliant servers.
