Preparing the engine for installation

This topic describes how to prepare a metadata server engine for installation of software. You need to complete these steps for each metadata server.

Steps

  1. Ensure that the engine, including the RSA II adapter is cabled properly. See Cabling.
    Note: If you are using an existing engine that currently has the RSA II adapter installed, disable the RSA II watchdogs to prevent the engine from automatically restarting during the installation process. See Disabling the RSA II watchdogs.
  2. Obtain software to be used on the installation process. See Obtain prerequisite software.
  3. Update the system BIOS, if necessary.
  4. Use the LSI Logic Configuration Program documentation provided with the engine to mirror the boot drive. (This step applies only when you are using an LSI SCSI RAID controller.)
