Installation Guide

5 Add the ESX Server boot disk image to the RDM server.
By default, RDM is installed in C:\Program Files\IBM\RDM. We assume this default
location in the following steps. If you have installed RDM in a different directory,
then change the directories in the following steps, accordingly.
a Open the folder for C:\Program Files\IBM\RDM\repository\environment\.
b Create a folder in that directory called esx.
cCopy C:\Program Files\IBM\RDM\repository\environment\etc\pxeboot.0 to
C:\Program Files\IBM\RDM\repository\environment\esx\.
dCopy C:\Program Files\IBM\RDM\repository\environment\etc\pxeboot.cfg
to C:\Program Files\IBM\RDM\repository\environment\esx\.
eEdit C:\Program Files\IBM\RDM\repository\environment\etc\default to
match the following lines.
DEFAULT vmlinuz
APPEND initrd=initrd.img apic ks=nfs:<nfsserver>:<nfsmount>/ks.cfg
ramdisk_size=10240
fCopy the initrd.img and vmlinuz files from the ESX Server installation floppy
to C:\Program Files\IBM\RDM\repository\environment\esx\.
Be sure that the file names are all lower case.
6 Find the target system (the blade on which you want to install ESX Server) in IBM
Director.
a Open and log into the IBM Director console program.
b There are three columns in the IBM director window. Set the “group” on the
left column to “physical platforms.”
c Find the target system in the middle column. You can identify the target
system by its MAC address, IP address, machine name, or IBM machine ID.
To be sure, double-click the highlighted entry representing the target system
to match the MAC address. If you cannot find the target system, boot the
target system by using the pre-boot execution environment (PXE) once, and
the target system is boot scanned by the IBM Director server.
N
OTE Type each line on a single line, including the line starting with APPEND. This line appears
as two lines because of the formatting in this tech note. <nfsserver> is the IP address or
host name of the NFS server and <nfsmount> is its mount point as configured in step 3.
