Operating System Installation
The NovaScale R440 F2 offers an embedded Configuration utility: the Unified
Server Configurator - Lifecycle Controller Enabled (USC-LCE), 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
http://www.bull.com/novascale
to get the list of supported operating systems.
NOTE: The list of operating systems offered by the USC may be larger than the
list of the supported Operating Systems.
NOTE: for the installation of a supported Operating System not listed in the USC,
see
http://support.bull.com
.
Residing on an embedded flash memory card, USC-LCE 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.
USC-LCE 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 USC after rebooting.
Getting Started With Your System 7
NOTE: During the 18-hour period when the drivers are extracted to the temporary
location, you cannot update USC, drivers, or diagnostics using a Driver Update
Package after the operating system is installed, or the Driver Update Package will
display a message that another session is open.
For supported Microsoft® Windows® operating systems, these extracted
drivers are installed during the operating system installation. For supported
Linux operating systems, you must manually install the extracted drivers after
the operating system installation is complete.
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.
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 System Services.
NOTE: The Initializing UEFI. Please wait... and the Entering System Services...Starting
Unified Server Configurator messages are displayed.
4
Click
OS Deployment
in the left pane.
5
Click
Deploy OS
in the right pane.
NOTE: 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.
NOTE: 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".
If your system does not have a RAID controller or if you choose to bypass the optional RAID
configuration, the OS Deployment wizard installs the operating system to a default location,
which is typically the disk identified as Disk 0 in the BIOS utility.
6
Select the operating system you want to install, and click
Next
.
8 Getting Started With Your System
7
USC or USC - LCE extracts the drivers required by the operating system you
selected. The drivers are extracted to an internal USB drive named
OEMDRV.
NOTE: For Red Hat® Enterprise Linux® 4.x server and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.x
server, the drivers are extracted to OEMDRV under /oemdrv/*.rpm.
For SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server 10 SP2, the drivers are extracted under
/linux/suse/x86_64-sles10/install/*.rpm.
NOTE: The process for extracting the drivers may take several minutes.
NOTE: 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 USC.
8
After the drivers are extracted, USC or USC - LCE prompts you to insert the
operating system installation media.
NOTE: When installing the Microsoft Windows operating system, the extracted drivers are
automatically installed during the operating system installation. When installing the Linux
operating system, the operating system installation uses native drivers. After the Linux
installation is complete, you need to manually install the drivers extracted by USC. See
"Update Drivers for Linux Systems Only".
9
Insert the operating system installation media when prompted and click
Next
.
NOTE: USC-LCE supports internal SATA optical drives, USB optical drives, and virtual
media devices. If the installation media is corrupt or not readable, then USC 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.
Getting Started With Your System 9
10
Click Finish to reboot the system and continue with the operating system
installation. Upon reboot, the system boots to the operating system
installation media.
NOTE: 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.
NOTE: : 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.
NOTE: 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.
NOTE: Microsoft Windows Server 2008 UEFI operating system installations are not
currently supported.
CAUTION: During Red Hat 5.x installation, you will receive a warning that a read-only
file system was detected; Linux has detected the temporary storage area of USC that stores
updates for your system. Click OK, and a second warning will appear indicating that the
read-only file system has a loop partition layout and that it needs to be formatted. Click the
Ignore drive button. You may see both warnings several times during the course of Red Hat
5.x installation.
CAUTION: During the beginning of Windows Server® 2003 installation, the installer
will automatically detect and possibly assign the default drive letter C to the USC temporary
storage device OEMDRV. Creating a new Windows-bootable system partition on the hard
drive will assign the partition to a drive letter other than C; this is standard Windows
installer behaviour. To assign the new partition to C, see "Assign a Windows-Bootable
System Partition to the C: Drive".
Update Drivers for Linux Systems Only
On the following operating systems, it is advised to update your system with the
extracted drivers after installation. The drivers are extracted to a drive (or
device) named OEMDRV.
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4.7 server - The location of the drivers on the
OEMDRV drive after installation is:
/oemdrv/*.rpm
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 server - The location of the drivers on the
OEMDRV drive after installation is:
/oemdrv/*.rpm
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 10 with Service Pack 2 - The location of the
drivers on the OEMDRV drive after installation is:
/linux/suse/x86_64-
sles10/install/*.rpm
Use the following command to install the drivers: rpm -Uvh *.rpm.
10 Getting Started With Your System
NOTE: If the command rpm –Uvh *.rpm fails to install a driver because a newly
version of the DKMS package is needed, see the
http://support.bull.com
website to
download the latest version of the DKMS package, then:
• install this DKMS package by launching the command:
rpm –Uvh dkms <version-release>.noarch.rpm
• install the Linux drivers by launching the command:
find ./* -not –name dkms* -exec rpm –Uvh {} \;
Kickstart Installation for the Linux Operating System
If you are using a kickstart installation for the Linux operating system, provide
the following information in the post-installation script:
• Command to mount the USB device containing the operating system drivers
labeled OEMDRV.
For example:
mkdir OEMDRV
mount /dev/sdc1 /mnt/OEMDRV
• Path to the operating system drivers on the OEMDRV drive:
For Red Hat Enterprise Linux:
/oemdrv/*.rpm
For SUSE Linux Enterprise Server:
/linux/suse/x86_64-sles10/install/*.rpm
• Command to install the drivers:
rpm -Uvh *.rpm
Assign a Windows-Bootable System Partition to the C: Drive
After you have completed the USC or USC - LCE portion of Windows Server
2003 installation, your server will reboot and begin the text-mode portion of the
installation. During this phase, you may need to perform the following steps to
ensure Windows installs to your C: drive.
NOTE: Following these instructions after Windows Server 2003 setup presents
you with a list of existing drive partitions and/or unpartitioned space available on
your computer.
1
Select the unpartitioned space, and then press <c> to create a hard-disk
partition. Follow the on-screen instructions to create a partition.
NOTE: The partition may not be enumerated as a C: drive.
2
Select the newly-created partition, and then press <d> to delete the partition.
Follow the on-screen instructions to delete the partition.
Getting Started With Your System 11
3
Select the unpartitioned space again, and then press <c> to create a primary
hard-disk partition.
NOTE: The partition will now be enumerated as C: drive.
4
Follow the on-screen instructions to create a partition. Windows will now
install on the C: drive.
For more information on assigning the Windows-bootable system partition to
the C: drive, see
