Hi Rocky Team Writing to you as I have a generic query on installing Rocky OS.
We would like to install Rocky 9.4 OS on an "Intel(r) Xeon(r) Gold 5220R CPU @ 2.20 GHz based Cascade Lake - R" Server, as Bare Metal. FYI This physical server is remote, and Intel based 'Integrated BMC Web Console access' is enabled.
Can you please help by clarifying below queries as I am first time trying to install Rocky OS and that too remote.
1. What is the preferred method of installation? * Install through uploading 'Boot-ISO' using the option "BMC web UI -> Virtual Media over HTML5"? * Web ISO using NFS
Would be very helpful to receive any Standard installation procedure of 9.4 OS on Bare Matel Server.
Thanks in advance!
regards, Sanjeev R
Hi Rocky Team,

Hi Sanjeev,
Use the method that’s most convenient for you. As long as it boots, it doesn’t make much of a difference from the perspective of the Rocky Linux installer.
Make sure to set up and use a local mirror if you’re installing more than a few dozen machines. Not strictly necessary, but common courtesy.
