Sles 10 Iso



Before installingthe SUSE Linux guest, note the following:

  • You must install the tog-pegasus RPM kit prior toinstalling the SUSE Linux RPM guest kit; however, the SUSE Linux installationmedia does not contain the tog-pegasus RPM kit. This RPM kit is availablein the “HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux”(also known as HPIEFL for Linux).

    The SUSE Linux RPMguest kit is actually two parts, a guest kit and a provider kit. TheHpvm.*.rpm kit contains:

    The Hpvmprovider.*.rpm kit contains the VMproviderand related files. This RPM requires that both the hpvm and tog-pegasuskits must be installed.

    The information you need is provided in Chapter 5 of the HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux User's Guide.

    To download the HPIEFL for Linux kit, click the link http://www.hp.com/go/integritylinuxessentials listed in Chapter 5, then click Download for HP IntegrityEssentials Foundation Pack for Linux link on this website.

  • The first time you install the Linux guest managementsoftware, the following error may occur:

    from /var/log/messages file Jan 18 22:45:00 1sn000 kernel: ipmi_si: Error clearing flags: cl from 'dmesg' command ipmi_si: Error clearing flags: cl

    You can ignorethis error message.

  • SLES 10 requires the media to be in the first opticaldrive present to the guest; otherwise, the installation fails withthe following error:

    Failed to initialize the catalog. Try again?

The name of the ISO is SLES-10-SP4-DVD-i386-GM-DVD1.iso for the i386 version,or SLES-10-SP4-DVD-x8664-GM-DVD1.iso for the x8664 version. Here are a couple of download linksthat I found using Google: Download Suse Enterprise Linux 11.

The following steps install SUSE Linux EnterpriseServer (SLES) for HP Integrity servers SLES 10 update 1 guests:

  1. On the VM Host system,load the *.iso files of SUSE Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) for HPIntegrity servers SLES 10 update 1 into the following directory:

    /var/opt/hpvm/ISO-images/linux/

    Use the following file names or any file namesyou prefer:

    • SLES-U1-ia64-AS-disc2.iso

    For security reasons, mark the ISO images as read-only.

  2. Create a virtual machinewith one disk and one DVD device for the ISO files, as well as onenetwork virtual switch. Specify the operating system type as LINUX.For example:

    #hpvmcreate -P linux -B manual -O LINUX -c 1 -r 2G -a disk:scsi::lv:/dev/vg01/sles10_boot_volume -a disk:scsi::file:/var/opt/hpvm/ISO-images/linux/SLES10-SP1-DVD-ia64-DVD1.iso -a network:lan::vswitch:switch1

    If DVD2 is required during your installation, eject(EJ) DVD1 and insert (IN) DVD2 from the guest management console.

  3. On the VM Host system,start the virtual machine:

    #hpvmstart -P linux1(C) Copyright 2000 - 2008 Hewlett-Packard Development Company, L.P.Opening minor device and creating guest machine containerCreation of VM, minor device 1Allocating guest memory: 2048MB allocating low RAM (0-80000000, 2048MB)/opt/hpvm/lbin/hpvmapp (/var/opt/hpvm/uuids/eaccd6e4-b004-11db-bd1f-00306ef4693e/vmm_config.next): Allocated 2147483648 bytes at 0x6000000100000000 allocating firmware RAM (ffaa0000-ffab5000, 84KB)/opt/hpvm/lbin/hpvmapp (/var/opt/hpvm/uuids/eaccd6e4-b004-11db-bd1f-00306ef4693e/vmm_config.next): Allocated 86016 bytes at 0x6000000180000000Loading boot imageImage initial IP=102000 GP=62E000Initialize guest memory mapping tablesStarting event polling threadStarting thread initializationDaemonizing....hpvmstart: Successful start initiation of guest 'linux1'

    Use the hpvmconsole command to connect to the guest.

  4. Boot the guest.

    Boot the guest in one of the following ways:

    To boot from the EFI shell:

    1. Go to the EFI shell. Forexample:

      fs0 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)/HD(Part1,Sig5D1D1134-C809-11DB-9AEB-000000000000)fs1 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0)/HD(Part2,Sig5DB58D88-C809-11DB-9AEB-000000000000)fs2 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun1,Lun0)/CDROM(Entry0)

      EFI lists devices with file systemsdetected as fs{n}. In this example, fs0 and fs1 are older file systems that are presenton the disk. fs2 is the file system correspondingto the bootable Linux ISO image/Virtual DVD, as can be recognizedby the CDROM against it.

    2. Boot the first installationDVD, which is indicated in the device mapping table by /CDROM by entering the following commands:

      shell > fsn:fsn > bootia64

      Where n corresponds to the Virtual DVD.

    The following example shows how to boot from fs0:

    # hpvmconsole -P linux1- - - - - - - - - - Prior Console Output - - - - - - - - - -Device mapping table fs0 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun1,Lun0)/CDROM(Entry0) blk0 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun0,Lun0) blk1 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun1,Lun0) blk2 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun1,Lun0)/CDROM(Entry0) blk3 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun2,Lun0) blk4 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun3,Lun0) blk5 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun4,Lun0) blk6 : Acpi(PNP0A03,0)/Pci(0|0)/Scsi(Pun5,Lun0)Shell> fs0:fs0:>bootia64

    To boot from the File menu:

    1. Exit the EFI shell.

    2. Select Boot from a file.

    3. Select Removable Media Boot, then press Enter.

      The guest bootsfrom the media.

  5. When the screen labeledSUSE Linux Itanium Edition appears, enter the following:

    console=ttyS0 command in the Boot:box:

    Boot: console=ttyS0

    NOTE: Failure to add this option results in an apparentguest hang, where the guest is trying to run a graphical installationprogram without a display. If this happens, reset the virtual machine.Press Ctrl/B to reach the virtual console. Enterthe RS command to restart the virtual machine. Resume the installation procedure.

    The installation process continues:

    On the CD Found screen, select Skip.

  6. The boot program presentsa sequence of screens that allow you to customize Linux. Follow normalSUSE SLES10 install procedures.

    NOTE: If you use ISO images for installation, you canleave the virtual CD images mounted, so that you can easily installadditional software at a later time.

  7. Optionally, remove thevirtual DVD device from the guest using the hpvmmodify command. For example, enter this command on the VM Host:

    # hpvmmodify -P guest1 -d dvd:scsi::file:/var/opt/hpvm/ISO-images/linux/SLES-U1-ia64-AS-disc1.iso dvd:scsi::file:/var/opt/hpvm/ISO-images/linux/SLES-U1-ia64-AS-disc2.iso
