For me it printed: /dev/disk2s1 on /Volumes/STORE N GO (msdos, local, nodev, nosuid, noowners) • Unmount the USB key using: diskutil unmount /Volumes/STORE N GO/ • Run: sudo dd if=hpvsa-1.2.10-120.rhel7u0.x86_64.dd of=/dev/disk2s1 • Eject the USB key: diskutil eject disk2s1 I have then inserted the CentOS 7 Installation ISO and the USB key in the server and started.

IMPORTANT: Remove the USB-Key once the driver has been installed to prevent the OS installer from including the USB-Key as part of the OS storage. I had a very similair issue, but the real issue was that my server model is ProLiant DL20 Gen9 but the actually raid card is i140 model, which I never noticed.
So the wrong files I was using: hpvsa-1.2.14-100, which downloadable from a page specified for B120i and B320i. Which I guess they meant the raid model and not the server model.
