3.3.5 Installing a Linux operating system from the FTP server
In this section, we will install Red Hat Linux via the FTP server. Perform the following steps:
1. Insert the network install diskette created in 3.3.3, “Creating the network boot diskette” on
page 38 into the IBM Eserver BladeCenter diskette drive.
2. Power on the blade server and press the Media Select and Console Select buttons on
the blade server.
3. Choose English.
4. Choose us.
5. Choose FTP.
6. Choose the interface you want to use. In our case eth1 was connected to switch 1.
7. Accept the default Use dynamic IP configuration (BOOTP/DHCP) or type in the IP
address, netmask, default gateway, and primary name server.
Note: If the server cannot be reached and DHCP has been used for the client
configuration, choose Back and type in the TPC/IP info. Then try again from the server.
Note: Do not switch the KVM from the blade server until the installation has proceeded to
install the packages after the About to Install window appears, otherwise the mouse will
lose functionality.
