OS Installation

The OS installation must be performed on each server.

A monitor, keyboard, and mouse can be attached directly to the server as a console device or a

remote console can be used over the network via the HP iLO2 remote management port. To set up

the iLO2 browser-based management interface, refer to the HP Integrated Lights-Out 2 User Guide.

Linux OS Distribution

For more detailed instructions for installing Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 refer to the Red Hat

Enterprise Linux Installation Guide at http://www.redhat.com/docs/manuals/enterprise/.

NOTE: Make sure the Fibre Channel cables from the storage server are not connected to the servers

at this time. Otherwise, the Linux install process will attempt to install the boot partition on the storage

server.

Follow these steps to install from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.2 Distribution DVD:

1. Hook up the monitor, keyboard and mouse to the server.

2. Insert the RHEL 5.2 DVD.

3. Power cycle the server.
