Not officially. Windows 11 requires TPM 2.0 and specific CPU support (Intel 8th Gen+). The Gen9 has TPM 1.2 (or optional 2.0 module) but lacks the required CPU feature set for official Windows 11. It will fail the compatibility check.
The DL360 Gen9 (launched 2014, EOL 2019) is based on the Intel Xeon E5-2600 v3/v4 platform (Haswell/Broadwell-EP). Its support matrix is divided into three categories: , Legacy/Entry-Level , and Community/Unsupported (Modern OS) . dl360 gen9 os support matrix
The DL360 Gen9 and VMware have a complicated relationship. Not officially
The Gen9’s use of legacy (UEFI Class 2) and legacy BIOS boot modes, along with its driver dependencies for Smart Array controllers, directly dictates which OS versions are “Supported,” “Limited Support,” or “Unsupported.” It will fail the compatibility check
| OS | Status | Community Notes | |----|--------|----------------| | | Works well | Based on Debian 12. Use nano /etc/modules to add hpsa . | | TrueNAS SCALE 24.x | Stable | Uses Debian-based Linux kernel; ZFS performance excellent with HBA mode on P440ar. | | XCP-ng 8.2 | Partial | Requires legacy BIOS boot; Citrix Hypervisor drivers work but no official XenTools. | | OpenBSD 7.4 | Unstable | Poor Smart Array support. Boot only from SATA AHCI mode. | | Rocky Linux 9 (RHEL 9 clone) | Untested by HPE, but runs | Kernel 5.14 works but you will see “hpsa: unsupported device” errors for some Gen9-specific RAID cards. |
| Operating System | Minimum Version | Maximum Version | Notes | |-----------------|----------------|-----------------|-------| | | 2012 R2 | 2022 (with updates) | Requires UEFI or legacy BIOS. Latest SPP drivers needed for Server 2022. | | Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) | 7.1 | 8.6 | Support for v9.x is experimental. Broadwell v4 CPUs require RHEL 7.3+. | | SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) | 11 SP4 | 15 SP4 | SLES 15 SP4 requires SPP 2022.03 or later. | | VMware vSphere (ESXi) | 6.0 U3 | 6.7 U3 | Note: ESXi 7.0 & 8.0 are NOT officially supported (see Tier 2). | | Oracle Linux | 7.3 | 8.4 | Red Hat Compatible Kernel (RHCK) or Unbreakable Enterprise Kernel (UEK) support. |
