Any network or Windows share or CD/DVD that can be used as an input to the Repository must not contain any file or folder that is not part of the Server Update Utility (SUU) content. The selections on Set the Date and Time page in SOI shows default values (not the earlier selected values), when the user revisits the page by clicking Back or Edit. The user selected values are stored internally and can be applied to the specific system when the user opts to apply.
By default, the boot to hard disk option is configured to boot to the second partition of the first hard disk of primary controller master (hd0, 1). If the OS is installed in the other disk or partitions the GRUB boot entry should be edited accordingly. Check GRUB manual for further details. Notes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating Systems At least 14.1GB disk space is required to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
When a system is booted from SBUU, the /opt filesystem is linked to /tmp filesystem. Some syscfg and racadm functionality use /opt extensively. If user mounts any other device (like a USB drive) to /tmp and issues racadm or syscfg commands, the files in /opt will be no longer visible and the commands fails. User is advised to create a temporary directory under under /mnt and mount the USB devices there instead of mounting to /tmp.
