6.3 Installing an operating system on an Application Unit
As administrator you manage the applications and the operating system on AUs.
When requested by the customer, an AU is configured on the vendor side and provided with
an operating system. In this case it is supplied preinstalled and the steps described below
are not required. It is also possible for the customer to reinstall the operating system in this
case.
Configuring the SAS/SATA Controller Card
The AU has a SAS/SATA RAID Controller with “MegaRAID functionality”. You can configure
the SAS/SATA RAID Controller either before installation with the LSI WebBIOS or during
installation with the ServerView Installation Manager. For basic RAID configurations the
ServerView Installation Manager can be used in the context of operating system
installation.
i The controller provides a separate utility for configuring the MegaRAID. Detailed
information on this subject is provided in the “LSI MegaRAID SAS Software”
manual [19].
Further information on modular RAID Controllers is provided in the “LSI Controllers
Modular RAID Controller” Installation Guide [20].
Descriptions of operating systems which are not contained in the controller manual
are provided in the corresponding Readme files on the driver CDs.
Configuring the integrated Remote Management Controller (iRMC)
The iRMC-LAN interface is already preconfigured for your administration LAN by the
vendor. This enables you to utilize all functions of the iRMC such as Advanced Video
Redirection (AVR) and Remote Storage for operating system installation.
If you want to use a configuration other than the preconfigured network configuration, adjust
the iRMC’s configuration accordingly.
You configure important server parameters such as the ASR&R settings (Automatic Server
Reconfiguration and Restart) and watchdog settings in the web interface of the Application
Unit’s iRMC.
Further information is provided in the “iRMC S2 - integrated Remote Management
Controller” manual [13].
