A issue for Linux , Itanium.

Taohung — Tue, 01 Aug 2006 08:42:39 GMT

Hello, everyone
I have two issues to install Redhat AS4 on the Integrity server.
1)Can I boot install-mode with Redhat AS4 CD 1 and exchange the source to NFS share ?

In the x86 or x86_64, I can type "linux askmethod" to exchange linux source.
Is this same to Integrity Server , too ?

2)How do I mirror linux boot disk with Itanium-2 soft-raid ?

Thank you.

1) According to the installation guide, this should work also for Itanium based processors.

"For example, if the NFS site contains the directory /mirrors/redhat/arch/RedHat/, enter /mirrors/redhat/arch/ (where arch is replaced
with the architecture type of your system, such as i386, ia64, ppc, or s390)."

Note that ia64 is listed.

2) I did this. See my post in this thread:

The only thing missing that that when you configure the partitions, you must specify that is RAID.
