RouterOS USB not working after 24 hours - HP Proliant DL360p Gen 8

Mon Jul 05, 2021 10:11 am

Dear All (Support Team and Experts)

I have purchase HP Proliant DL360p Gen 8 server, I tried to boot from SSD SATA Hard Disk but its Show Error " COULD NOT MOUNT DISK - PLEASE ATTACHED TO SOMEWHERE ELSE".

After googling & Searching Mikroitk Forum - I purchased 8gb Flash Drive (Usb) and install Mikroik 6.47.10 (Long-term) via Netinstall and purchase a L6 license for $250 as well. Its all running Good but I forgot to paste/ Import License key before 23hours 59Mins.

Now, when I booting from Usb Flash Dirve an Error flashes and passed away after 1 sec time, I can't able to read the Error easily, But might be it shows Like " starting system with initrtd xxxxxxxx (I can't able read in between)xxxxxxxxxxxx" and vanish after 1 sec.

Please suggest me what to Do?? I dont think so that USB Flash boot for RouterOS is stable option?? Mikrotik should make some changes so that we can adopt new Tech SSD Harddisk Easily else Mikrotik should design a good hardware with 36core and 3Ghz processing core speed.

Please do help me

I do not remember if are on timed-base use or based on current date..
See at what time you purchased the license, go back with clock at that time and date, boot without internet and apply the licence.


I do not understand why your choice to use x86 instead of CHR.
With VM like ESXi the virtualized hdd alwais are recognized from CHR version,
with x86 version, you can only use IDE disks or (unstable) USB Flash boot, if the controller are not compatible.

I tried with CHR but ESXI cost too much for it, Can you guide me the price for ESXI for 1 instance only + CHR complete installation link + ESXi configuration link
(Will try to do this as well but this is now what I actually want to ask)

(please do not quote if is not strictly necessary, use "post reply" button instead)

Actually I run ESXi on two machine, and the licence is like free, not for "crack" or someting like it,
simply downoad the right image for ESXi install from Official HP website,
and the licence is integrated on the downloaded image.

I don't provide any further help because, yes, it is related to MikroTik, but it is out of this forum.

Some other users can still help you if they wish.

Yes, the instance (if you select that on BIOS settings and also on ESXi image) do "autostart" without problem
I have buy used HP ProLiant device, the HP provide me only ESXi 6.5 version, but work perfectly.

I tried to work with ESXI Vsphere after applying License it is only Allowing 8cpu limit, however I need to use all 40 threads available in my HP Proliant 360p G8 for mikrotik CHR working.
