Before deploying a host, create a bootable USB flash drive and use it to install the ISO image you downloaded. Note that the flash drive should be empty and in FAT32 format.

To create a bootable USB flash drive and burn the ISO image to it, use the 7-Zip command-line utility tool for Linux, Mac OS, or Windows:

On Linux:

Assuming /dev/sdb1 is the USB drive, enter the following in the command terminal:

    # apt install p7zip-full

  # mkdir -p /mnt/usb && mount /dev/sdb1 /mnt/usb 

  # 7z x ~/Downloads/bloxone-appliance-vX.Y.iso -o/mnt/usb

On Mac OS:

Assuming /dev/disk2 is the USB drive, enter the following in the command terminal:

# brew install p7zip

# diskutil list

# diskutil eraseDisk FAT32 BLOXONE MBRFormat /dev/disk2

The screenshot shows 'Started erase on disk2' and the rest of the events that resulted from the command.

# diskutil mountDisk /dev/disk2

The screenshot shows 'Volume(s) mounted successfully'.

# 7z x ~/Downloads/bloxone-appliance-vX.Y.iso -o/Volumes/BLOXONE

The screenshot shows 'Extracting archive - bloxone-appliance-vX.Y.iso' and the rest of the events that resulted from the command.

On Microsoft Windows

  1. Press CTRL+R and enter cmd.

  2. Assuming F:\ is the USB drive, enter the following command:

# "C:\Program Files\7-Zip\7z.exe"  x C:\Downloads\bloxone-appliance-vX.Y.iso -oF:\
