Installation target needed

Additionaly we need a HPE Gen 10 Server which can be deployed onto.

RHEL ISO image needed

We did not automate the RHEL installation process so please choose the following when installing manualy:

Fetch an RHEL installation image from: https://access.redhat.com/products/red-hat-enterprise-linux => Login => Downloard RHEL 8.4 => Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.4 Binary DVD

Hint: you can copy the Link from the "Downlad Now" button and paste it directly into the download cmd / system which needs to have the ISO at the end. E.g. download directly onto your ESXi server or a repository server in your location.
