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 ".
