Add Bootable DVD option in Partition 1 / Cell 0

In RX7640 Server,

 

We have created Genesis Partition (Partition 0 with Cell 1) and Installed Redhat OS in that partition.

 

Through nPar in Redhat OS, We have created one more partition (Partition 1 with Cell 0).

 

When booting Cell 0 (ie partition 1) ,

 

It Not Showing any bootable Devices (DVD)

We have only one DVD,  that can be accessible through Cell 1.

Then you cannot use a DVD to install an OS to Partition 1 / Cell 0, unless you physically move the existing DVD drive to the other slot, or buy a second DVD drive.
