1.1 The ServerView Suite

The ServerView Suite comprises the following data media and components:

lServerView Suite DVD 1 - Installation

Installation Software

oThe ServerView Installation Manager is used to configure the server‘s

hardware and BIOS and to perform unattended installation of

operating systems (Microsoft Windows Server, SUSE and RedHat

Enterprise Linux or VMware® ESX) on servers. It is started automatically

when the DVD is booted.

lServerView Suite DVD 2 - Management and Serviceabiltity

Management Software

oServerView

The software components in the ServerView Suite allow all servers in a

computer center to be monitored, inventoried and maintained centrally

using a Web-based user interface. They provide information on system

statuses (Operations Manager and Remote Management), issue alerts

in the event of an error (Event Manager) and manage the software

1.2 What is the Installation Manager used for?

lThe Installation Manager allows you to configure your server quickly and

easily and to install the operating system and the Fujitsu server

management software. If required, it is also possible to install application-

specific software as well.

lYou can start the Installation Manager either as a local application on the

target system or directly as an installed application on a Windows-based

deployment server. You preconfigure the installation on this server and then

start it on the target system over the network (remote installation).

If it is run locally, the Installation Manager carries out automatic hardware

detection.

lYou can use the Installation Manager in two different modes:

oIn "Typical" mode, the Installation Manager proposes default

parameters for system configuration and for installing the operating

system and you simply have to adapt these to your environment. This

mode is the simplest, quickest way of taking a server into operation

and is the default method for a local installation.

oIn "Customized" mode, you can configure your system more extensively

and install the operating system using your own custom settings. This

mode also allows you to embed custom scripts and programs in the

installation process.

lIn "Customized" mode, you can save your configuration in a parameter file,

which you can then use for installing servers of the same type. In addition,

this file can also be used as the basis for a different installation using

modified parameters, even if different hardware is being used.

1.2 What is the Installation Manager used for?

1 Welcome

1.3 Overview of the Installation Manager's functions

The Installation Manager provides the following functions:

lServer configuration and local installation ("Typical" mode)

The Installation Manager detects the hardware configuration of the target

system automatically and uses this information to determine the preset

values for the installation parameters. It guides you through the individual

steps in configuration using wizards in which integrated plausibility checks

effectively prevent configuration errors. All components of the server

manager software required to use the ServerView Operations Manager are

also installed automatically.

lServer configuration and local installation ("Customized" mode)

The Installation Manager detects the hardware configuration of the target

system automatically and uses this information to determine the preset

values for the installation parameters. In this mode also, its wizards guide

you through the individual steps in configuration, but they allow you to set a

large number of additional parameters and options. In addition to general

system settings (BIOS, iRMC), you can also have far more control over

setting up RAID arrays and hard disks and can set up custom partitions on

the disks. The operating system that is to be installed can be configured to

meet your specific requirements. It is also possible to incorporate custom

scripts in the installation process.

Entries made by the user are also subject to plausibility checking.

lRemote server configuration and installation

The Installation Manager can be installed and run on a Windows-based

deployment server, but in this case it only offers "Customized" mode.

Parameters for configuration of the system and installation of the operating

system are specified using the same wizards. Finally, the data is stored in a

configuration file. This is transferred over the network to the computer,

which has been booted via PXE, when remote installation is started and

controls the unattended configuration/installation.

lMultiple installation of several servers

8 ServerView Quick Start Guide

Each installation is handled separately and varying hardware and varying

parameter files can also be used.

Any remote installations which are running can be monitored using the

Installation Monitor, which opens automatically after a remote installation

has been started.

1.4 Example of a quick initial installation

We shall take a local Windows installation as an example to illustrate how

quickly and easily you can take your servers into operation.

Important notes

lThe description below refers to the Windows installation on your

server.

lIf you wish to install an enterprise Linux operating system (SUSE or

RedHat) on your server, follow the instructions in the Installation

Manager manual which you will find on the Fujitsu manuals server

at http://manuals.ts.fujitsu.com.

lIf your server does not have a DVD drive, you can either connect a

USB drive temporarily or perform the installation remotely. You will

find further details in the Installation Manager manual.

1.4 Example of a quick initial installation

1 Welcome

1. Boot ServerView Suite DVD 1. The Installation Manager starts automatically.

If the server does not boot from the DVD, press the key

combination [Ctrl] + [Alt] + [Del] to reboot the server. You may

have to adjust the boot sequence in the BIOS beforehand or use

the function key [F12] to activate the boot menu.

If you wish to use a USB removable drive as a status backup

medium, ensure that the drive is not listed as a boot device by the

system BIOS.

A medium such as this is only mandatory for systems without an

iRMC controller (such as the PRIMERGY TX100). For all other

systems built as of the middle of 2007, it is not required.

After the system has booted from the DVD 1, a window appears in which

you must select the session language. You can choose between English,

French, German and Japanese. When you have made this selection, the

startup window of the Installation Manager appears.

1. In the top left of the window, choose the regional variant of the

keyboard that is connected.

2. If you are using a status backup medium:

On the right of the window under Status backup medium, choose the

option on local drive (floppy / USB stick) and choose the drive letter

you require from the appropriate drop-down list. Make sure that the

selected removable medium is not write-protected!

3. If you are not using a status backup medium:

Accept the default value No status backup.

4. Leave the remaining preset values unchanged and click Continue.

The main menu of the Installation Manager is displayed after further data

has been loaded. This contains the most important hardware and firmware

information for your server.

2. Click Deployment.

The Installation Manager Deployment Process Selection window

appears.

3. Select the preset option Typical and click Next.
