installing 11iv3 on BL860c!!

[astra]

Hi ,


COuld someone specify the various ways through which we can install the Os on blade servers (bl860c)? We have diskless blades but we MSA2000fc. Can somone guide me or give some document reference (step -by -step) for the same. Can we use onboard administrator to install OS, how?

We are using these blades for the very first time:-)

Regards,
Amit

You may use

- DRD to clone an existing boot disk
- an Ignite server to install
- an external DVD drive
- virtual media over iLO
- the enclosure DVD drive (c3000)

use your ONBOARD ADMINISTRATOR to load a Virtual drive (DVD)
or an external DVD (note some of the external dvds in the market will not work it is a matter of USB1 and USB2 support)
