Configuring Linux 2-23
Perform the following steps to reinstall Linux:
1.
Insert the install disk into the floppy disk drive, and insert backup CD-
ROM1 into the CD-ROM drive immediately after turning on the power.
Installation starts. A message is displayed after a short time.
2.
Remove backup CD-ROM1 and insert backup CD-ROM2 according to the
message.
3.
Press
Enter
.
The message "Congratulation! Install Complete" is displayed at completion
of the installation.
4.
Press
Enter
.
Backup CD-ROM2 is ejected and rebooting starts. Remove the install disk
and backup CD-ROM2.
After rebooting, the root password changes to the factory-set one at purchase
of the server. For the factory-set password, see the attached paper
"Administrator (root) password" provided with the server. After logging in
the system with root, change to an arbitrary password to provide security.
IMPORTANT:
After the system restarts, two disks enter the “RESYNCING”
state in order to complete the building of the RAID. While the disks are in this
state, do not remove them, turn off the power, or restart the system. Wait until
RESYNCING" or "RECOVERY" has completed. (You can confirm the current
RAID status by executing ftdiskadm.) If you should accidentally reboot your
system during the "RESYNCING" or "RECOVERY" state, the data on your
disks has not been corrupted. After reboot, the "RESYNCING" of your disks
restarts from the beginning. Your server is not in a fault tolerant state until
"RESYNCING" has completed.
