Chapter 3 Installing and Configuring ESX Server on Blade Servers

Use RDM to boot a pre-configured ESX Server installation image. This installer then

loads the necessary files from a file server.

Complete the following steps to install ESX Server using RDM:

1 Install IBM Director and RDM on a Microsoft Windows 2000 server system. During

the RDM installation, you need to install all three components:

! RDM server (integrated with IBM Director server) – This server stores all the

data and the configuration information.

! D-server – The deployment server sends files to the target blade system (the

blade on which ESX Server is to be installed). An RDM server may have

multiple D-servers, each serving a different range of IP addresses for target

systems. However, one D-server is sufficient for this installation.

! Remote console (integrated with IBM Director console) – This console

provides the user interface for inspecting and controlling the RDM server.

Multiple IBM Director remote consoles may be connected to the RDM server,

if necessary.

2 Configure the DHCP server.

A DHCP server is required for the proper operation of RDM. Refer to the RDM

documentation for the procedure to configure your DHCP server.

3 Prepare the ESX Server boot image.

After installing ESX Server on the first blade, use the VMware Management

Interface to prepare an ESX Server installation floppy disk. Configure a scripted

installation for DHCP operation as described in “Scripting Your Installations” on

page 95. When the configuration is complete, select Download Floppy Image and

create a floppy disk image.

4 Create a new mount point on your NFS server and export it. For more information

on how to set up an NFS server, see The Linux Documentation Project HOWTO at

tldp.org/HOWTO/NFS-HOWTO.

a Copy the contents of the ESX Server 2.5 CD-ROM to the root of your NFS

mount point. Then copy the ks.cfg file from the ESX Server installation floppy

to the root of your NFS mount point.

b Edit the ks.cfg file and modify the Installation Method line. This line should

start with a cdrom or url command. Replace this line with the following:

nfs –-server <nfsserver> --dir <nfsdir>

Replace <nfsserver> with the IP address or host name of your NFS server and

replace <nfsdir> with the NFS mount point.
