Installation Using IPMI (Only 19" Servers)

WARNING: Please read the following chapter carefully before starting the procedure described below.

If an IPMI license is used, installation can be performed via remote maintenance. There are two different options for providing an image on the server.

This guide does not explain every detail about the IPMI environment. A certain familiarity with the environment is assumed.

JAVA Console Redirection

The ISO image can be provided directly from your own computer in the JAVA console.

Providing Via Windows File Share

In the web interface, under Virtual Media, the ISO image ▸ CD-ROM, the ISO file can be mounted. Note that the maximum file size is limited to 4.7 GB and must not be exceeded.

The path to the image (Path to Image) is set in the following format:

\files\setup\antcas-server-setup.iso

Installation

It must be verified that the server starts in UEFI mode. To do this, disable the CSM (Compatibility Support Module) option under Boot in the BIOS.

Then, by pressing the F8 key during startup, the boot menu can be called up. If the key is not passed through, the console's on-screen keyboard can be used for this purpose. Then the CD drive can be selected. To continue with the installation, follow the instructions in the previous chapter.
