To install from remote ISO: Log in to the server’s CIMC interface.To install from local media: Connect an external USB DVD drive to the server and then insert the first RHEL install disc into the drive.
Step 4 Start the Linux driver installation using one of the following methods:
To install from a virtual floppy disk: Download and save the Cisco UCS C-Series drivers ISO, as described in Downloading the LSI MegaSR Drivers.Ĭ.Ĝopy the dud-.img file to a temporary location on your workstation.To install from a physical diskette: Use one of the procedures in Preparing Physical Installation Diskettes For Linux.Step 2 Prepare the dud.img file using one of the following methods:
Step 1Ĝreate a RAID drive group using the LSI SWRAID Configuration utility before you install this driver for the OS. This section describes the fresh installation of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux device driver on systems with the embedded MegaRAID stack. Step 8 Label the diskette with the image name.įor the specific supported OS versions, see the Hardware and Software Interoperability Matrix Step 7Ěfter the command prompt returns and the floppy disk drive LED goes out, remove the diskette.
Step 6Ĝreate the driver update diskette using the following command: Step 5Ĝonfirm that the files are in the selected directory. Step 4 Insert a blank floppy diskette into the floppy drive. Step 3Ĝopy the driver update disk image dud-.img to your Linux system.
Step 1ĝownload the Cisco UCS C-Series drivers ISO, as described in Downloading the LSI MegaSR Drivers and save it to your Linux system that has a diskette drive.Ĭ.Ğxpand the Zip file, which contains the folder with the driver files. Perform the following steps to create the driver update disk: Under Red Hat Linux and SuSE Linux, you can use a driver diskette utility to create disk images from image files. Preparing Installation Disks With a Linux Operating System: Windows loads the drivers from the folder and when finished, the driver is listed under the prompt, “Select the driver to be installed.” Use the dialog to browse to the location of the drivers folder on the USB thumb drive, and click OK. On the Windows Load Driver dialog that you opened in Step a, click Browse.ĭ. You are prompted by a Load Driver dialog to select the driver to be installed.ī.Ĝonnect the USB thumb drive that you prepared in Step 3 to the target server.Ĭ. Step 11 When Windows prompts you with “Where do you want to install Windows,” install the drivers for embedded MegaRAID: Step 10 Observe the Windows installation process and respond to prompts in the wizard as required for your preferences and company standards. Step 9 Press Enter when you see the prompt, “Press any key to boot from CD.” The Windows installation begins when the image is booted. Step 8 On the Boot Manager window, select the physical disc or virtual DVD and press When you see the F6 prompt during bootup. Select the check box in the Mapped column for the media that you just added, then wait for mapping to complete.
Step 5 Launch a Virtual KVM console window and select theĪnd browse to select your remote Windows installation ISO file.ī.
