Install Copy Adapt and export Installation source POWER-based system NFS server BladeCenter QS21 Figure 27. Installation overview for NLS boot device For details see the IBM Software Development Kit for Multicore Acceleration Version 3.0.0 Installation Guide. Note: Be aware that your BladeCenter QS21 has two Ethernet controllers and can be connected to two Ethernet switches. As the blade center performs a network boot from the controller that acquires the IP address, first make sure that your Linux configuration supports this. If your Linux environment requires a static IP address for a particular Ethernet port, you must set up your DHCP environment accordingly. Configuring a SAS boot device If you have installed the optional SAS expansion card you can attach supported local storage to it and configure the storage accordingly. See the documentation that comes with the SAS expansion card for further information. BladeCenter QS21 supports IBM System Storage DS3200 (DS3200) including the IBM System Storage EXP3000 expansion option as SAS attached storage. You must configure storage on your DS3200 storage system before you can use it as a SAS boot device. Also configure any options, such as RAID arrays, before installing the operating system. For the configuration you use a management station that runs a Storage Manager. Use the Storage Manager for the operating system on your management station: Linux IBM System Storage DS3000 Storage Manager Windows Simplicity Storage Manager For installation instructions, see the documentation that comes with your Storage Manager. The descriptions in this section are based on the System Storage DS3000 Storage Manager. The Simplicity Storage Manager, might have a slightly different user interface. Figure 28 on page 55 shows a schematic setup with a network connection between the workstation that runs the Storage Manager and the DS3200 storage system. 54 QS21 Installation and User's Guide

Note:
Be
aware
that
your
BladeCenter
QS21
has
two
Ethernet
controllers
and
can
be
connected
to
two
Ethernet
switches.
As
the
blade
center
performs
a
network
boot
from
the
controller
that
acquires
the
IP
address,
first
make
sure
that
your
Linux
configuration
supports
this.
If
your
Linux
environment
requires
a
static
IP
address
for
a
particular
Ethernet
port,
you
must
set
up
your
DHCP
environment
accordingly.
Configuring
a
SAS
boot
device
If
you
have
installed
the
optional
SAS
expansion
card
you
can
attach
supported
local
storage
to
it
and
configure
the
storage
accordingly.
See
the
documentation
that
comes
with
the
SAS
expansion
card
for
further
information.
BladeCenter
QS21
supports
IBM
System
Storage
DS3200
(DS3200)
including
the
IBM
System
Storage
EXP3000
expansion
option
as
SAS
attached
storage.
You
must
configure
storage
on
your
DS3200
storage
system
before
you
can
use
it
as
a
SAS
boot
device.
Also
configure
any
options,
such
as
RAID
arrays,
before
installing
the
operating
system.
For
the
configuration
you
use
a
management
station
that
runs
a
Storage
Manager.
Use
the
Storage
Manager
for
the
operating
system
on
your
management
station:

Manager.
The
descriptions
in
this
section
are
based
on

Manager,
might
have
a
