Using SBUU 33
• The Hardware Configuration module displays all the configuration options
under different tabs. Ensure that you select all relevant options for all the
systems you selected.
• The list of operating systems displayed in the Server Operating System
Installation (SOI) module is a subset of supported operating systems that
can be installed across the selected systems. This implies that if you select
systems that have no supported operating systems in common, the SOI
module will not display any operating system and you will not be able to
proceed with the deployment process.
To deploy multiple systems of different models, follow step 1 through step 8
in "Deploying More Than One System With the Same Configuration."
Deploying Multiple Systems With the Same Configuration for Different
Operating Systems
In this scenario, you can update and deploy multiple systems with the same
configuration for different operating systems. For example, you have 100
PowerEdge R710 systems and you want to deploy 25 systems with the
Microsoft
®
Windows Server
®
2003 operating system, 50 systems with the
Red Hat
®
Enterprise Linux
®
5.3 operating system, and 25 systems with the
Windows Server
®
2008 operating system.
