Customized—Enables you to individually configure the options for server software and
firmware updates, storage partitioning, and OS installation with HP drivers. Select this
option if you have specific parameters that differ from the recommended settings, such
as for storage partitioning. Choosing a customized installation also allows you to choose
SNMP or WBEM management protocols. For more information about customized
installation options, see
“OS information required for customized installations” (page

•
Manual—Installs the OS from a custom OS CD/DVD. After selecting this option, insert
the provided CD/DVD so that the server can reboot from the OS CD/DVD.
When using the Manual Installation method, the Virtual Install Disk (VID) is enabled
automatically, and a USB mass-storage device appears with the name of the VID during
the OS installation process. The VID contains a limited set of storage and networking
drivers, so any required SAS/iSCSI/FCoE adapter can be loaded in the event that the
OS disc does not have the appropriate drivers. Because the VID and the custom CD/DVD
might not contain all of the needed drivers, you might need to create a driver CD/DVD
to ensure that all required drivers are installed and that the OS can install successfully.
For information about creating a driver disk, see the OS installation guide.
To disable VID:
1.
Reboot the server and press F9 during POST to access RBSU or UEFI System Utilities.

In all Linux environments, add linux dd on the command line to provide a driver location
only when installing the OS in special storage devices such as iSCSI and FC LUNs.
In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 installations with a SATA controller, the selected Install
