Before installing
the SUSE Linux guest, note the following: You must install the tog-pegasus RPM kit prior to
installing the SUSE Linux RPM guest kit; however, the SUSE Linux installation
media does not contain the tog-pegasus RPM kit. This RPM kit is available
in the “HP Integrity Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux”
(also known as HPIEFL for Linux). The SUSE Linux RPM
guest kit is actually two parts, a guest kit and a provider kit. The
Hpvm.*.rpm kit contains: The Hpvmprovider.*.rpm kit contains the VMprovider
and related files. This RPM requires that both the hpvm and tog-pegasus
kits must be installed. http://h20293.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber=T2387AA 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 Integrity
Essentials Foundation Pack for Linux link on this website. The first time you install the Linux guest management
software, 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 ignore
this error message. SLES 10 requires the media to be in the first optical
drive present to the guest; otherwise, the installation fails with
the following error: Failed to initialize the catalog. Try again? |
The following steps install SUSE® Linux Enterprise Server
(SLES) for HP Integrity servers SLES 10 update 1 guests: On the VM Host system, load the *.iso files of SUSE
Linux Enterprise Server (SLES) for HP Integrity servers SLES 10 update
1 into the following directory: /var/opt/hpvm/ISO-images/linux/ |
Use the following file names or any file names you prefer: SLES-U1-ia64-AS-disc1.iso SLES-U1-ia64-AS-disc2.iso
For security reasons, mark the ISO images as read-only. Create a virtual machine with one disk and one DVD
device for the ISO files, as well as one network 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. On the VM Host system, start the virtual machine: # hpvmstart -P linux1

hpvmstart: Successful start initiation of guest 'linux1' |
Use the hpvmconsole command
to connect to the guest. Boot the guest. There are two ways to
boot the guest: To boot from the EFI shell: Go to the EFI shell. For example: 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 systems detected
as fs{n}. In the above example, fs0 and fs1 are older file systems that are present
on the disk. fs2 is the file system corresponding
to the bootable Linux ISO image/Virtual DVD, as can be recognized
by the CDROM against it. Boot the first installation DVD, 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

To boot from the File menu: Exit the EFI shell. Select Boot from a file. Select the option Removable Media
Boot. Press Enter. The
guest boots from the media.
When the screen labeled SUSE Linux Itanium Edition
appears, enter the following: console=ttyS0 command in the Boot: box: | | | |  | NOTE: Failure to add this option results in an apparent guest hang,
where the guest is trying to run a graphical installation program
without a display. If this happens, reset the virtual machine. Enter Ctrl/B to reach the virtual console. Enter the RS command to restart the virtual machine. Resume the
installation procedure. | | | | |
The installation process continues: On the CD Found screen, select Skip. The boot program presents a sequence of screens that
allow you to customize Linux. Follow normal SUSE SLES10 install procedures. | | | | | NOTE: If you use ISO images for installation, you can leave the virtual
CD images mounted, so that you can easily install additional software
at a later time. | | | | |
Optionally, remove the virtual 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 |
