Setup and configuration overview
When you use the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD, you do not need setup
diskettes. You can use the CD to configure any supported IBM server model. The
setup program provides a list of tasks that are required to set up your server
model. On a server with a ServeRAID adapter or SAS/SATA controller with RAID
capabilities, you can run the SAS RAID configuration program to create logical
drives.
Note:
Features and functions can vary slightly with different versions of the
ServerGuide program.
When you start the
ServerGuide Setup and Installation
CD, the program prompts you
to complete the following tasks:
v
Select your language.
v
Select your keyboard layout and country.
v
View the overview to learn about ServerGuide features.
v
View the readme file to review installation tips for your operating system and
adapter.
v
Start the operating-system installation. You will need your operating-system CD.
Typical operating-system installation
The ServerGuide program can reduce the time it takes to install an operating
system. It provides the device drivers that are required for your hardware and for
the operating system that you are installing. This section describes a typical
ServerGuide operating-system installation.
Note:
Features and functions can vary slightly with different versions of the
ServerGuide program.
1.
After you have completed the setup process, the operating-system installation
program starts. (You will need your operating-system CD to complete the
installation.)
2.
The ServerGuide program stores information about the server model, service
processor, hard disk drive controllers, and network adapters. Then, the
program checks the CD for newer device drivers. This information is stored
and then passed to the operating-system installation program.
3.
The ServerGuide program presents operating-system partition options that are
based on your operating-system selection and the installed hard disk drives.
4.
The ServerGuide program prompts you to insert your operating-system CD
and restart the server. At this point, the installation program for the operating
system takes control to complete the installation.
