Configuring a Boot Device on an EMC Storage Array
contains the necessary kit to build driver diskettes, as well as detailed
information on the function and development of driver diskettes.
The entire build process must be performed on a Red Hat host that
contains the kernel source tree for the target version of RHEL for
which the driver diskette is being built. To ensure that the necessary
source tree exists, the most straightforward method is to install the
kernel source RPMs from the RHEL 2.1 or 3.0 distributions.
Follow the instructions as specified on Doug Ledford’s website to
build the driver diskette image. Once the driver diskette has been
successfully created, the installation may be performed.
Installing RHEL 2.1 and 3.0 onto the EMC storage device with the Emulex
v7.x-Series driver diskette
Using the driver diskette created in the previous section, the
installation of RHEL 2.1 or 3.0 may be performed. Before beginning
the installation, performs the steps described under the Configuring
the Boot BIOS section.
To install RHEL with a driver diskette onto the EMC storage array
device, use the following steps:
1. Boot the server to be installed.
2. At the
boot: prompt, type the command linux dd (Linux driver
diskette), and press ENTER.
3. You will be prompted with the question:
Do you have a device driver disk?
Select YES.
4. You are then prompted to perform the following:
Insert your driver disk and press OK to continue.
Insert the device driver diskette as instructed, and select OK.
5. When asked for the type of installation to perform, select Custom.
By selecting the Custom installation option, you will have
complete control of the boot device selection and manipulation.
From this point, follow the normal installation process.
