This topic describes the procedure for installing SUSE Linux™ Enterprise Server 8 on a metadata server engine.

Device | Size | Type | Mount | Cylinder Numbers |
---|---|---|---|---|
/dev/sda1 | 9.7 GB | ReiserFS | / | 0 - 1266 |
/dev/sda2 | 2 GB | Swap | swap | 1267 - 1528 |
/dev/sda3 | 16.0 GB | ReiserFS | /var | 1529 - 3617 |
The Network Interface panel consists of two lists: one at the top and one at the bottom. The bottom list displays the interfaces that are configured, while the top list displays the non-configured interfaces. During the SUSE installation, the system automatically configures the first primary interface for you (ent0), using the first interface it discovers, and thus the interface appears in the bottom list.
If this automatic configuration (pairing between the primary interface and the NIC) is not acceptable for your environment, delete the configuration to place the NIC back in the non-configured interface list.
If you make an error in specifying the IP address or the IP address has changed after completing the SUSE installation, you can access the IP configuration panel through the YaST interface, by entering yast at the command prompt.
