1.3 Operating System Installation

The NovaScale T840 F3 offers an embedded Configuration utility: the Lifecycle

Controller - Unified Server Configurator, which includes an OS Deployment Wizard

that assists you with the installation of the Operating System.

Refer to the technical characteristics of the Server on

www.bull.com/novascale to get

the list of supported Operating Systems.

Notes • The list of Operating Systems offered by the Lifecycle controller may be larger than the

list of the supported Operating Systems.

• For the installation of a supported Operating System not listed in the Lifecycle

controller, see

http://support.bull.com.

• For the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x server installation, if the software has been

ordered from Bull, you got a media & doc package which contains the Bull Installation

Pack (BIP) software. You can use the BIP to automatically install some useful packages

of the Red Hat distribution. It is time saving for a smart installation. Don’t use the

Lifecycle controller if you decide to use the BIP.

Residing on an embedded flash memory chip, the Lifecycle controller is similar to a

BIOS utility in that it can be started during the boot sequence and can function

independently of an installed operating system.

It provides drivers that may be required for operating system installation, depending

on which operating system you are installing. The OS Deployment wizard extracts

these drivers and copies them to a staging directory. These files are deleted after an

18-hour period or when you press the <F10> key to either cancel operating system

installation or re-enter Lifecycle controller after rebooting.

Note During the 18-hour period when the drivers are extracted to the temporary location,

you cannot update the Lifecycle controller firmware, drivers, or diagnostics using a

Driver Update Package after the operating system is installed. In that case the Driver

Update Package will display a message that another session is open.

For supported Microsoft® Windows® operating systems and for supported Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 6.x, these extracted drivers are installed during the operating system

installation.

For supported VMware ESXi 5.x, if the VMware media used for the installation does

not include the drivers required for the server, you can download from

http://support.bull.com, a ESXi installer image created by Bull. This image may

contain additional certified drivers.

Before installing the operating system, the OS Deployment wizard detects if a boot

device is available. A boot device is a physical disk, virtual disk, or other storage

device on which the operating system can be installed.

Bull NovaScale T840 F3 Getting Started Guide 5

1.3.1 To begin installation

1. Connect the keyboard, monitor, mouse, and any additional peripherals to your

system.

2. Turn on the system and the attached peripherals.

3. Press <F10> in the POST to start the Lifecycle controller.

Note The Entering Lifecycle Controller message is displayed.

4. Click OS Deployment in the left pane.

5. Click Deploy OS in the right pane.

Notes • If your system has a RAID controller, you have the option of

launching the RAID Configuration wizard and configuring a

virtual disk as the boot device.

• If your system does not have a RAID controller, the OS

Deployment wizard bypasses the RAID configuration option

and goes directly to "Select an Operating System".

6. Select the operating system you want to install and click Next.

7. The Lifecycle controller extracts the drivers required by the operating system you

selected. The drivers are extracted to an internal USB drive named OEMDRV.

Notes • The process for extracting the drivers may take several minutes.

• All drivers copied by the OS Deployment wizard are removed

after 18 hours. You must complete the operating system

installation within 18 hours for the copied drivers to be available.

To remove the drivers before the 18-hour period is over, reboot

the system and press the <F10> key to re-enter Lifecycle

controller.

8. Choose the boot mode, UEFI or BIOS, for the selected Operating System

installation and click Next.

9. After the drivers are extracted, the Lifecycle controller prompts you to insert the

operating system installation media.

Note When installing the supported Microsoft Windows operating system,

the extracted drivers are automatically installed during the operating

system installation.

When installing the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.x operating system, the

extracted drivers are automatically installed during the operating

system installation. Be careful, there is an issue with the Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 6.1 which affects the Lifecycle controller based

installation. See "Install Drivers for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.1 ".

10. Insert the operating system installation media when prompted and click Next.

Note The Lifecycle controller supports internal SATA optical drives, USB

optical drives, and virtual media devices. If the installation media is

corrupt or not readable, then the Lifecycle controller may be unable to

detect the presence of a supported optical drive. In this case, you may

receive an error message stating that no optical drive is available. If

the media is not valid (if it is the incorrect CD or DVD, for example), a

message displays requesting that you insert the correct installation

media.

11. Click Finish to reboot the system and continue with the operating system

installation. Upon reboot, the system boots to the operating system installation

media.

Notes • When the system reboots after you click Finish, you may be

prompted to press a key before booting to the operating system

installation media. If you do not press a key, the system boots to

the hard drive and not the operating system installation media.

• In the event that the operating system installation is interrupted

and the system reboots before installation completes, you may be

prompted to press a key in order to boot from the operating

system installation media.

• You can cancel the operating system installation by pressing the

<F10> key. Pressing the <F10> key at any point during the

installation process or while rebooting causes any drivers

provided by the OS Deployment wizard to be removed.

CAUTION

To get round an issue during Red Hat 6.1 installation, you will have

to manually install the drivers. See "Install Drivers for Red Hat

Enterprise Linux 6.1 ".
