Chapter 3: Setup and Installation
Installing via Virtual Media (Drive Redirection)
You can install the OS via Virtual Media through either the IPMIview (Java based client
utility), IPMItool or the Web-based Management Utility . With this method, the OS is
installed from an ISO image that resides on another system/blade.
Refer to the manuals on your Superblade CD-ROM for further details on the Virtual
Media (CD-ROM or Drive Redirection) sections of these two utility programs.
3-9 Management Software
System management may be performed with either of three software packages:
IPMIview , IPMItool or a Web-based Management Utility . These are designed to provide
an administrator with a comprehensive set of functions and monitored data to keep tabs
on the system and perform management activities.
Refer to the manuals on your Superblade CD-ROM for further details on the various
functions provided by these management programs.
