Install the operating system manually
If you cannot install the operating system through Lenovo XClarity Administrator or Lenovo XClarity
Provisioning Manager Lite, you can install the operating system manually. For more information about
installing a specific operating system:
1. Go to
http://datacentersupport.lenovo.com
and navigate to the support page for your server.
2. Click
Documentation
from the navigation pane.
3. Select an operating system under
Operating Systems
to view the installation instructions.
Back up the server configuration
After setting up the server or making changes to the configuration, it is a good practice to make a complete
backup of the server configuration.
Make sure that you create backups for the following server components:
•
Management processor
You can back up the management processor configuration through the Lenovo XClarity Controller
interface. For details about backing up the management processor configuration, see:
http://sysmgt.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/com.lenovo.systems.management.xcc.doc/NN1ia_c_
backupthexcc.html
Alternatively, you can use the ssaavvee command from Lenovo XClarity Essentials OneCLI to create a backup
of all configuration settings. For more information about the ssaavvee command, see:
http://sysmgt.lenovofiles.com/help/topic/toolsctr_cli_lenovo/onecli_r_save_command.html
•
Operating system
Use your own operating-system and user-data backup methods to back up the operating system and
user data for the server.
