First, download the appropriate ISO
then run
sudo mkfs -t vfat -I <dev>
on your usb device. Next:
sudo apt-get install syslinux-utils
On the ISO, e.g. linuxISO.iso, run:
isohybrid linuxISO.iso
Finally, write the ISO to your usb key:
sudo dd if=linuxISO.iso of=<dev> bs=8M
sync
Then boot it up on the server in BIOS mode.
F2 is system setup, F11 is the boot menu.
Hit F2 on boot to enter the system setup. Setup iDRAC with static IP addresses on the dedicated port.
Setup the disks to pass through.
Assuming a >= 2 GiB internal USB for boot and an NVMe SSD and UEFI boot: Use regular partitions and make 200 MiB /boot/efi and a 1 GiB /boot on the USB then make a 64 GiB / on the NVMe. Leave the rest of each for later.
ip address add <address>/<bits> dev <dev>
ip route add default via <gateway address>
echo "nameserver <address>" >> /etc/resolv.conf
Now networking should work. You can test with:
dig google.com
host google.com
ping google.com
If that works, then you can configure networking on the next boot, open
up /etc/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-<dev>
and make sure the following lines are in there:
DEVICE=<dev>
BOOTPROTO=none
ONBOOT=yes
PREFIX=<address bits>
IPADDR=<address>
PEERDNS=no
DNS1=<DNS address>
GATEWAY=<gateway address>
You can also install NTP:
yum install ntp
If you have a local NTP server, then modify /etc/ntp.conf so that it is
the first server <your server address> iburst line, and remove iburst
from the other servers.
then enable it:
systemctl enable ntpd
systemctl start ntpd
You can check on its status with ntp -p
yum install -y epel-release
yum update -y

Add the appropriate repo for your version of linux here https://github.com/zfsonlinux/zfs/wiki/RHEL-and-CentOS
Then run:
yum install -y kernel-devel zfs
Now you\'ll have to restart (and check networking still works).
Now create your zpool:
zpool create zfs1 mirror <dev> <dev> mirror <dev> <dev> cache <l2arc ssd> spare <dev> <dev>
and create the datasets:
zfs create zfs1/home
zfs create zfs1/cvmfs_cache
zfs create zfs1/data
