Using PrimeCollect
To start PrimeCollect, proceed as follows:
Ê Before using PrimeCollect in an offline environment, properly shut down the
server and disconnect all external I/O connections (like LAN, FC or SAS
cables) from the system. Only keep mouse, keyboard, video cable and AC
power cord connected.
I Ensure that all external I/O connections are uniquely identified so that
you can reconnect them into their original locations after concluding
the task.
Ê Switch on the server.
Ê Right after switching on the server, insert the ServerView Suite DVD into the
DVD drive and close the drive tray.
If the server does not boot from DVD, proceed as follows:
Ê Reboot the server, e.g. by pressing the reset button on the front or
switching the server off and then on again after a few seconds.
Ê Once the server has been started, press [F12] to enter the boot menu.
Ê Use the Ê and Ë cursor keys to select your DVD drive as boot device
and press [ENTER].
The server will now boot from the ServerView Suite DVD.
Ê After the boot process is complete, select your preferred GUI language.
Ê In the initial Installation Manager startup window, choose PrimeCollect from
the Installation Manager mode section.
Ê Click Continue to proceed.
Ê Finish the intended maintenance task.
I For further information, refer to the "PrimeCollect" user guide.
Concluding the procedure
Ê After the update or diagnostic procedure has been completed, shut down the
server, reconnect all external I/O connections and bring the system back to
normal operation.
Ê If necessary, perform this procedure for all remaining servers within the
Multipath environment.
