Setup and configuration overview
This topic provides an overview of how you can use the ServerGuide program to
setup and configure the server.
When you use the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
USB DVD, you do not need
setup CDs. You can use the DVD to configure any supported IBM server model.
The setup program provides a list of tasks that are required to set up your server
model. On a server with a ServeRAID adapter or SAS/SATA controller with RAID
capabilities, you can run the SAS/SATA RAID configuration program to create
logical drives.
Note:
Features and functions can vary slightly with different versions of the
ServerGuide program.
Typical operating-system installation
This topic provides information about a typical operating-system installation.
The ServerGuide program can reduce the time it takes to install an operating
system. It provides the device drivers that are required for your hardware and for
the operating system that you are installing. This section describes a typical
ServerGuide operating-system installation.
Note:
Features and functions can vary slightly with different versions of the
ServerGuide program.
1.
After you have completed the setup process, the operating-system installation
program starts. (You will need your operating-system DVD to complete the
installation.)
2.
The ServerGuide program stores information about the server model, service
processor, hard disk drive controllers, and network adapters. Then, the
program checks the DVD for newer device drivers. This information is stored
and then passed to the operating-system installation program.
3.
The ServerGuide program presents operating-system partition options that are
based on your operating-system selection and the installed hard disk drives.
4.
The ServerGuide program prompts you to insert your operating-system DVD
and restart the server. At this point, the installation program for the operating
system takes control to complete the installation.
