I am installing Windows 2012 R2 via Virtual CD ROM against an HP Proliant via iLO.

On my first attempt at installing the OS, I got an error saying the EULA was missing and the installation was corrupt. I have used this ISO many times, and know it's OK (from licensing.microsoft.com). I re-attempted the installation, and everything worked fine.

But since many files might become corrupt, besides the EULA, I think it's possible for some aspect of an iLO based OS install to fail with equal probability of what happened above.

  • Does installing the OS via iLO have a chance of being corrupt without knowing it within the installer?

  • Is there any OS protection, or other verification I can use to verify the core installation?

Not usually, but if you're concerned, it's probably a networking issue. Think about what's between you and the ILO... I've had installs fail occasionally via ILO, but if your reattempt worked, don't worry to much about it.
