Caster Troy — Tue, 23 Aug 2005 06:27:47 GMT

I have a new bl20p server, this is my first time with a blade, I have one Enclosure in which I have installed this blade, I have installed the Patch Panels and 1U Power Enclosure, how can I install OS on this server, I have installed the Altiris Deployment Server, which port of the Enclosure should I use to connect it with my Network and how should I configure the first server in it. how do I install OS on my first Server.

You can use the ILo port to install the OS.
Just connect to the ILo and attach your virtual media and set the boot order to boot from CD-ROM and there you go! it is that easy! unless is it boot from SAN then you might have some more configuring to do.

Hope this helps

Tom

if you have just few Server load manually with ilo, as recommended previously. Split Drives after and Simulate rebuild on the new.

Start from Page 35 (use IP 192.168.1.1)

Mount CD and FDD use them to load O/S

Update ILO Firmware from if needed
