Installing with an External USB CD-ROM Drive
The most common method of installing the OS is with an external USB CD-ROM drive.
Take the following steps to install the OS to a blade module:
1. Connect an SUV cable (Serial port/USB port/Video port cable) to the KVM
connector on the front of the blade module. You will then need to attach a USB hub
to the USB port on this cable to provide multiple USB ports.
2. Connect the external CD-ROM drive, a USB keyboard and a mouse to the USB hub.
You will also need to connect a monitor to the video connector on the SUV cable.
Turn on the blade module.
3. Insert the CD containing the OS into the CD-ROM drive.
4. Follow the prompts to begin the installation.
Installing via PXE Boot
PXE (Preboot Execution Environment) is used to boot a computer over a network. To
install the OS via PXE, the following conditions must be met:
1. The PXE B
OOT
option in BIOS must be enabled.
2. A PXE server has been configured (this can be another blade in the system).
3. The PXE server must be connected over a network to the blade to be booted.
4. The blade has only non-partitioned/unformatted hard drives installed and no
bootable devices attached to it.
Once these conditions are met, make sure the PXE server is running. Then turn on the
blade on which you wish to boot and/or install the OS. The BIOS in the blade will look at
all bootable devices and finding none will connect to the PXE server to begin the boot/
install.
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.
WARNING:
Installing the OS from an external CD-ROM drive may take several
hours to complete.
