Owner's Manual

Uncertified array disks, if present in the system, are displayed in the SBUU RAID configuration GUI but are
not used while creating RAID using configuration scripts.
The options shown in SBUU for BIOS tokens under Hardware Configuration screen are a superset. The
default values do not reflect the current status of the tokens. If the user selects an option, which is not
supported in the current system, applying Hardware Scripts fail. User must select a value that is
applicable on the current system.
Any operations through Systems Build and Update Utility are not allowed on systems with Non-RAID
configurations.
FQDN feature is available on Dell PowerEdge 12G systems and later. On systems prior to 12G, provide a
valid IP address in the text box.
Notes for Windows Operating Systems
Create an optical media from the Windows OS Install Support Pack and make it available for SBUU, when
prompted.
During Windows installation, the system automatically logs in to finish the post installation tasks and
then automatically logs out. It is recommended that you do not perform any task until the system has
automatically logged out. The installation might end abnormally if it is interrupted.
If you enable "Console Redirection":
• A dialog box is displayed with the message that an “Expanded Memory Support (EMS)
connection has been discovered during the operating system installation.”
If the platform supports Windows HPC 2008 or Windows HPC 2008 R2 editions, select Windows 2008
(64 bit) and Windows 2008 R2 (64 bit) respectively on the Configure Server OS Installation page, and use
the appropriate Windows media when prompted.
Notes for the Tool to Create Bootable USB
The following commands/rpm should be installed for the tool to work:
udevinfo,mtools,parted (minimum version required is 1.6.25.1),
grub-install (grub) and lsusb.
By default, the boot to hard disk option is configured to boot to the second partition of the first hard disk
of primary controller master (hd0, 1). If the OS is installed in the other disk or partitions the GRUB boot
entry should be edited accordingly. Check GRUB manual for further details.
Notes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating Systems
At least 14.1GB disk space is required to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
If you use the Download RPMs from Network feature, the RPMs are downloaded to the partition called
/home. The recommended size for this partition is 3GB including the size of the RPMs you want to
update.
All downloaded RPMs are installed during the post install phase of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installer.
Entering a double quote character (") in the Root Password field of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux
installation results in denial of access to the root login.
SBUU limits the maximum block device size on a Linux system to 8TB.
For the network download of RPMs, the target system must have a DHCP IP address and the system
must be connected to a network.
After selecting languages using Select Language option like Chinese, in SBUU for installing a Red Hat
Linux operation system, the user has to change run level using init 5 command instead of startx for
applying the selected language.
