has been installed on the virtual machine Linux operating system, installed on the server is very few, also did not encounter the driver, such as what the RAID card driver, network card driver and other abnormal situation occurred.
This time the installation of two servers, the wave of the server, the hard disk is two, do the RAID1, itself installed is the CentOS system, due to the basic use of our side of the RHEL5.5, thus need to reinstall the operating system.
1. Pre-work
a mobile work station is installed first , such as:
Have to say, the following several wheel installation is required to use the strength to press in, if not pressed in, the end of the scrap ... And it is easy to create a phenomenon that is not steady.
Prepare the associated disk image and external USB disc
The main is to engrave the relevant disk image files into a CD-ROM, and then connect to the server by USB.
After a direct drive to the ISO is placed in the U disk, but when connecting to the server, you can not find the U disk, in preparation for the time, you need to prepare the ISO file, burning the relevant CD-ROM.
When the ISO file is being burned, the software used is urtraiso.
When burning, select the tool-burn the disc image.
Prepare the monitor, keyboard, mouse
Since the server is just a server, the take-away devices must be prepared themselves and need to be prepared.
2. Install the operating system
To install the operating system, insert the driver disk into the server and insert the installation disk into the server:
The driver is mainly to identify the hardware, if the driver is not installed, then some hardware may not be found;
The installation disk is used to install the operating system.
Boot up, press F11 to enter the BIOS settings, choose to start from the installation disk-(in fact, never start from the installation disk line, because as long as it is not a local hard disk, will go to search, find a match, and then start, just a waste of time. )--(when you start, you will skip the screen twice and go to the BIOS selection screen.) It seems to take a few minutes)
After booting from here, you can enter the operating system installation screen:
Because the drive of the raid card needs to be installed at the time of installation, the hard drive will not be recognized at the time of installation, which requires input instructions:
Linux DD
To enter a RAID card-driven installation:
Ask if there is a driver card and thus direct yes
Select the drive disk to install the driver
Select OK:
!!! Here Select the drive, you can see a lot of files, mainly started to get this ISO driver, directly placed in the U disk, and then found that can not recognize the U-disk, thereby, directly to the ISO was burned, the untied files can be found here, but tried the inside of all the files are not successfully loaded ...
Finally, the Dd.iso file is placed directly into the root directory, loaded, and found to see the raid disk, so that, as long as the driver is placed in the root directory, which can be directly identified.
You can see that the raid card has been identified, so that it can be installed properly, because for Linux, the other steps and virtual machines are basically the same, so it is not here to map.
Problem:
1, prepare the relevant driver, prepare the corresponding image
2, in the overall installation time of about 20 minutes, mainly the server startup is slow, then it is necessary to restart, the main time spent on the installation of drivers.
