The plan is to install VIOS (example: Ver 2.1.3 fp10-23) straight to a LUN, and NOT to a local disk drive. Requires BOTH VIOS Install disks. (Physical Media).
- Download the VIOS Install ISO’s and burn them to a DVD-R (Required to be associated to your IBM Account + hardware)
- Have LUNS carved up and presented to the target system
- Place VIOS Install DVD 1 in the media tray, and in Advanced Management Module (AMM) associate Media Tray to Blade 1.
- Use Remote Control (or cli) to take control of target blade (at slot 1), reboot it.
- Go into SMS menus’ and boot it from USB CDROM
- Start installation (Change disk to install to the target LUN).
- After VIOS is installed it will automatically reboot. Go into SMS and install that drive as default.
Upon reboot, you should login to the system, a password change (forced) will happen and then type license -accept.
