Hi all,

I am looking for Linux (RH) best practices installation doc on BL35p. Do I need to start with SmartStart CD, Or I can directly start with the RH OS CD? Any advantage using SmartSatrt cd? any doc to show how to configure Qlogic, and or NICs?

Thanks,
Dary.

Hi Dary,

You have to install RH directly, Smart start assisted installation doesn't support RH or SLES or SUSE.
Once the OS is up you have to install Smart start.

Hi Dary,

Steps to install SS on Linux.
1. Insert the smart Start cd, if it is mounted automaticallygo to step 2 other wise mount the CDROM using "mount" command.
2. go to the CDROM directory.
3. CD \compaq\csp\linux
4. There will be a executable "install***.sh"
run the same.
