Configuring the Nodes
To configure the nodes:
1. Power up the storage system and wait for the controllers to initialize.
CAUTION: Always power up the Smart Array Cluster Storage system before
powering up the servers. It may take up to 2 minutes for the system to
completely power up. Wait until the display provides the “Startup Complete”
message.
2. Power up one of the servers.
IMPORTANT: Do not use ORCA to configure the Smart Array Cluster Storage system at
this time. When directed, use ACU to configure the system.
While the server boots, the ROM-Based Setup Utility (RBSU) and the ORCA
utility are automatically configured to prepare the server for the operating system
installation.
— To manually configure these utilities, go to step 3.
— To use the automatically configured settings, go to step 5.
For more information about automatic configuration, refer to the ROM-Based
Setup Utility User Guide located with the server documentation.
3. When prompted during controller initialization, press the F8 key to enter ORCA
and configure the array controller.
4. When prompted during the boot process, press the F9 key to change the server
settings, such as the settings for language and operating system, using RBSU.
The system is set up by default for the English language and a Microsoft
Windows 2000 installation. Select Linux as the operating system.
5. Insert the SLES 7 CD into the CD-ROM drive and reboot the server.
6. Install the SLES 7 operating system on a server drive.

NOTE: Refer to the operating system documentation for additional information.
