ServerViewInstallationManager 6 1.1 Overview of functionalscope 1 Introduction ServerViewInstallationManager (referred to hereas InstallationManager for short) comes as part ofServerViewSuite. WithintheServerViewSuite, InstallationManager is the component for configuring and installing operating systems and other user management and server management software. InstallationManager also enables subsequent adjustments to systemsettings onsystems that havealready beeninstalled. Theoperating systeminstallationonthetarget systemcanbeinitiated locally using a DVDdriveonthat system, or remotely withPXEboot using a deployment server. Inpreparationfor theinstallation, InstallationManager wizards guideyou througha series ofconfigurationmenus, whereyou compileall parameters required for system configurationand for thesubsequent automatic operating systeminstallation. You can savetheseparameters to a configurationfileand usethemto install additional servers withthesamehardwarearchitecture. This is theServerViewInstallationManager commonmanual that contains the explanationfor a functionsupported ina specific regionand languageonly. TheinstallationofSuseLinuxand VMwareis not supported for Japan. You will find thelatest informationonsupported server systems and supported operating systems for Japanas part oftherestrictions oftheServerViewSuiteonthe Internet. 1.1 Overview of functional scope For local operating systeminstallations onthetarget system: Automatic recognition l ofthehardwareconfigurationand RAIDarrays ofyour PRIMERGYserver. Installationsupport for thefollowing server operating systems: Microsoft Windows l Server, Red Hat and SuSELinuxEnterpriseversions, VMwareESXi. Configurationand installationarelargely thesamefor bothVMwareESXi and the Linuxdistributions, and so theprocedures aredescribed inthesamechapter here. Creationofconfigurationfiles for theautomatic installationofseveral PRIMERGY l servers withidentical hardwareconfigurations and for useas templates for additional, similar installationprocesses. Installationofdrivers, servicepacks and applicationsoftware. l ServerViewInstallationManager 7 1.2 Additionaldocumentation Thechoiceofsoftwarethat you caninstall is automatically determined by your server's hardwareconfiguration. Remoteaccess to configurationfiles and installationpackages that areavailableon l fileservers or onDVDdrives that areshared onthenetwork. PXE-based remotenetworkinstallationofPRIMERGYservers. l Multi Deployment Platform: Integrating customprograms or scripts into the l InstallationManager platform(MS Windows PE) and launching thepackageontarget systems via PXEboot. Using the"Generic PXEBoot" function, you canboot any required boot images onthe l target systemvia PXEboot based onthePXEinfrastructureofInstallationManager. Creating a backup oftheInstallationManager repository. l Restoring theInstallationManager repository using a backup. l 1.2 Additional documentation ServerView Suite booklet This booklet, whichaccompanies your PRIMERGYserver, provides anoverviewofthe components oftheServerViewSuiteand contains a quick-start guideto theprocess of wizard-assisted operating systeminstallation. Online help Thecontext-sensitiveonlinehelp functionprovides detailed informationonall the configurationsteps you will completewiththeassistanceofthevarious configuration wizards. 1.3 Target groups and objectives of this manual This manual is aimed at users who havea sound knowledgeofhardwareand software, as well as systemadministrators and serviceprofessionals. It provides anintroductionto the functional scopeand operating concept ofInstallationManager and describes thevarious options availablewheninstalling operating systems onyour PRIMERGYserver using InstallationManager. 1.4 What's new Thecurrent editionis valid as ofServerViewInstallationManager V12.17.07 and replaces thefollowing onlinemanual: "ServerViewInstallationManager", EditionMarch2015 ServerViewInstallationManager 8 1.5 ServerView Suite linkcollection ServerViewInstallationManager V12.17.07 includes thefollowing update: TheSystemDiagnostics functionis added to theInstallationManager initial window. l Theconfigurationoflogical RAIDdisks is enhanced. l Thefollowing services areno longer supported: Deployment Manager l ESX is replaced by ESXi l JBoss applicationserver is replaced by TomCat l 1.5 ServerView Suite link collection Via theServerViewSuitelinkcollection, Fujitsu provides you withnumerous downloads and further informationontheServerViewSuiteand PRIMERGYservers.
