SBI-7226T-T2 Blade Module User’s Manual

Installing via Virtual Media (Drive Redirection)

You can install the OS via Virtual Media through either the IPMIview (Java based client utility), SuperBladeTool or the Web-based Management Utility. With this method, the OS is installed from an ISO image that resides on another system/blade.

Refer to the manuals on your SuperBlade CD-ROM for further details on the Virtual Media (CD-ROM or Drive Redirection) sections of these two utility programs.

3-8 Management Software

System management may be performed with either of three software packages: IPMIview, SuperBladeTool or a Web-based Management Utility. These are designed to provide an administrator with a comprehensive set of functions and monitored data to keep tabs on the system and perform management activities.

Refer to the manuals on your SuperBlade CD-ROM for further details on the various functions provided by these management programs.

3-9 Configuring and Setting up RAID

Each blade module that supports two or more hard drives may be used to create a RAID array. The procedures for doing this vary depending upon the blade model chosen for your SuperBlade system.

See Chapter 5 for details on how to configure and set up RAID on your blade module.
