1, the use of cobbler installation of HP DL388 GEN8 server can not be successful, error prompts can not find the available hard disk, and HP after-sales communication learned that the HP DL388 GEN8 Server RAID card model is b320i. CENTOS6 or 7 system initrd.img not b320i array card driver, if you want to install the Gen8 CentOS or redhat system, you need to download b320i array card driver on the official website, CentOS7 the following:

2, after downloading the b320i array card driver, the array card needs to be packaged into the initrd.img boot image, the following steps:
1), the location of the initrd.img mirror in the Cobbler server
/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos-7.1-x86_64/images/pxeboot/initrd.img
2), create a temporary directory of INITRD
cd/var/www/cobbler/ks_mirror/centos-7.1-x86_64/images/pxeboot/
mkdir INITRD
3), copy initrd.img image to initrd temp directory
CP initrd.img INITRD
4), unzip the initrd.img image in the INITRD temp directory (view this file format with file initrd.img)
File initrd.img
INITRD.IMG:XZ Compressed data
Unzip the file by using the XZ tool when viewing the file in XZ format
XZ-DC initrd.img | Cpio-id
View the contents of the catalog after unpacking
[[email protected] initrd]# ls
Bin Dev etc init lib lib64 proc Root run sbin shutdown sys sysroot TMP usr var
[Email protected] initrd]#
5), view the downloaded driver format
