Huawei Server Compatibility Checker
to check the operating system versions and
types supported by the ES3000 V5.
To install RHEL 7.0, CentOS 7.0, or OEL 7.0 in an ES3000 V5 with a 4K sector size, secure
formatting the ES3000 V5 first by referring to 6.4.2 Formatting an SSD to ensure that the
ES3000 V5 has no GPT partition information.
Before OS installation, set the BIOS boot mode to UEFI. If you are unfamiliar with the
common OS installation procedure, see the
Huawei Server OS Installation Guide
NOTE
When the kdump function is used on the redhat6.8, centos6.8, and earlier operating systems, the vmcore
file cannot be saved because the kexec-tools tool of the earlier version has a bug. Therefore, you need to
upgrade the kexec-tools to a version later than 2.0.0-300.
To install Windows on the ES3000 V5, follow the procedure in the section because there are
some special requirements.
If you format the ES3000 V5 into 4 KB sectors by following the instructions in 6.4.2
Formatting an SSD, create partitions manually when installing a Windows OS. For details
about how to create partitions, see "Sample files: configure drive partitions by using Windows
PE and DiskPart scripts" at
https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/windows/hardware/
Note: When creating partitions, change the value of
select disk
to the drive number of the
ES3000 V5 and change the value of
create partition efi size
to
260
