1.0 ABOUT THIS README FILE


---------------------------

IBM ServerGuide reduces the complexity of server deployment by


detecting installed options and providing device drivers. The
ServerGuide wizard detects the server model and installed
adapters; then, the wizard guides you through setup,
configuration, and network operating system (NOS) installation.

2.0 ServerGuide Architecture versions


--------------------------------------

There are two versions of IBM ServerGuide available from the WEB:

o IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation i386


- Supports the installation of 32bit Windows Server operating systems
to IBM System x and BladeCenter servers.

- Supports the installation of 64bit Windows Server 2008 that is on a


special disc containing both 32bit and 64bit Windows Server 2008 images.

o IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation x86-64

- Supports the installation of 64bit Windows Server operating systems


in either legacy or native uEFI mode to IBM System x and BladeCenter
servers.

- Automatically detects whether to install in legacy mode or native


uEFI mode depending on the server's settings.

Note: The correct architecture version of ServerGuide must be used to


install the desired architecture version of the Windows Server operating
systems.

The supported systems for both versions of IBM ServerGuide are listed in
section 4 of this readme.

3.0 Remote Installs Support


----------------------------

o Remote Installs are supported using the Remote Supervisor


Adapter II (RSA II), Integrated Management Module (IMM),
BladeCenter Management Module (MM), and BladeCenter
Advanced Management Module (AMM).

o Remote Install Limitations:


- For MM only, the left button mouse function doesn't
work with a single click. The workaround is to use double click to
to do selections in ServerGuide graphical user interface.
- The same CD/DVD Drive used for ServerGuide CD needs to be use
for Windows CD/DVD.

o Instructions for running ServerGuide via remote disk feature:

NOTE: These directions are written for RSAII/AMM/MM. Steps to install via
recently updated AMMs and iMMs may differ slightly.

1 Install Java(TM) Plug-in and disable cache for Web Browser Java plug-in
to enable remote console to work.
2 Connect to the RSAII,MM,or AMM Web Management Interface (via Web browser)
3 Click on Task "Remote Control"
4 Start Remote Control, it will open second Web Browser Window

5.0 LIMITATIONS
----------------
The following limitations are applicable to this version of IBM
ServerGuide:

o One final reboot is recommended to finish hardware installation after the


Windows installation completes . For instance, yellow exclamation marks may
be present on the Intel(R) Ethernet Mezzanine Adapter due to the device
driver being unable to start. This issue is resolved by a reboot.

o A yellow exclamation mark may be present next to the Microsoft ISATAP adapter
or 6TO4 adapter after installing Windows Server 2008. Despite the warning,
the device is still functioning properly. Refer to
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932520 for more information.
o When using ServerGuide in a multi-node server configuration, the
server summary report screen does not indicate a multi-node
configuration. However, the number of processors reported will
be consistent with the hardware.
o When using ServerGuide on an xSeries 460 two node configuration with
a ServeRAID 8i adapter present in one node and not in the other, a
NMI error will occur. The workaround is to boot the xSeries 460 as
a single node, install the operating system with ServerGuide and
then boot the configuration as multi-node.
o Using ServerGuide on an xSeries 460 two node configuration with a
ServeRAID 8i adapter present in both nodes is not supported. The
workaround is to start the ServerGuide setup in standalone mode by
pressing Esc to bypass partition merge during machine boot. When
the Windows files are finished copying to the hard drive and the
ServerGuide setup is finished, then the system can be booted in
multinode.
NOTE: During installation, ServerGuide may reboot the system in the
middle of the setup process. If the system reboots, press
Esc to bypass the partition merge and boot standalone.
Repeat this step each time the system reboots until the
Windows files are copied to the hard drive.
o ServerGuide does not support the use of the following IBM Ultra 320
Controller 2 adapters (13N2249, 39R8743, 43W4324, 43W4325).
o ServerGuide does not support installing to any USB storage device or running
from a USB flash memory drive.
o When using a MegaRAID controller in System x3850 M2/System x3950 M2
for the onboard drives, all RAID configurations need to deleted
before any attempt to use the LSI SAS 1078 onboard controller with
the same onboard drives.
o When installing to drives attached to an IBM iSCSI Server TX adapter
(30R5201), you may not be able to create a 100 GB partition.
The workaroud is to create a partition of a different size (eg 110 GB).
o On x3850 M2 and x3950M2, the Microsoft IPMI device driver is
required and is the only supported IPMI driver. In Windows 2003,
the Microsoft IPMI device driver is only supported on Microsoft
Windows Server 2003 R2.

To install the Microsoft IPMI driver on an installation of Windows


Server 2003 R2:

1) In Control Panel, select Add or Remove Programs.


2) Select Add/Remove Windows Components.
3) Select Management and Monitoring Tools and press
the Details button.
4) Choose the Hardware Management option.
5) Press the OK button to select the Hardware Management
Component, and then press the Next button.
o All iSCSI adapters require Windows 2003 Service Pack 1 or higher for the
driver to function properly.
o All Fiber channel adapters require Windows 2003 Service Pack 2 or higher for the

driver to function properly.


o Service Pack 1 or higher is recommended for Windows Server 2003 installs on
System x3105. Installs done without a Service Pack will complete, but two
yellow warnings are in the Device Manager under 'Other Devices':
PCI Memory Controller
SM Bus Controller
o Partitioning screen appears to hang
When using ServerGuide to partition disks of 300 GB or larger, the
partitioning may take 15-20 minutes for the process to complete.
o RAID configuration for LSI-SAS adapters
For LSI 1064/1064e/1078 SAS controllers or an IBM SAS HBA controller and
LSI 1020/1030 SCSI ServerGuide is unable to unable to remove any logical
volumes including RAID arrays on the adapters due to the limitation of
the adapters.
To avoid any problems with RAID configuration, use the Ctrl+C menu
on system POST prior to using ServerGuide to remove all logical volumes.
o Critical Error during RAID Configuration of adapter LSI 1078 SAS IR on
the x3850 M2/x3950 M2
For the LSI 1078 SAS IR controller, the total number of disks in a
RAID array cannot exceed six. To avoid any problems with RAID
configuration of the LSI 1078 SAS IR controller, reduce the number
of disks to six or select the RAID Defaults option of ServerGuide
instead of a specific RAID level.
o Critical Error during RAID Configuration
While performing RAID configuration on adapters with previous raid
configurations, the process may fail with a critical error.
To resolve this problem, click back and retry the RAID configuration or
click Exit to restart the server and retry ServerGuide installation.
o "No operating system found" during Windows 2003 or Windows 2008 installation
When performing a Windows installation, ServerGuide attempts to install
Windows to the first disk on the system presented by the diskpart command
line utility.
Due to limitations of the system, when multiple storage adapters are
present on the system, the first disk presented by the diskpart utility
is not always the first disk on the system.
To avoid this problem, please remove any or all storage adapters
that are not required for the Windows installation.
o "Windows cannot locate the disk and partition specified in the unattend
answer file's <ImageInstall> setting" during Windows 2008 installation
When performing a Windows installation, ServerGuide attempts to install
Windows to the first disk on the system presented by the diskpart command
line utility.
Due to limitations of the system, when multiple storage adapters are
present on the system, the first disk presented by the diskpart utility
is not always the first disk on the system.
To avoid this problem, please remove all storage adapters or disks
that are not required for the Windows installation.
o "Windows can not prepare the computer to boot to the next phase of the
installation" during Windows 2008 installation When performing a Windows
installation, ServerGuide attempts to install Windows to the first disk on
the system presented by the diskpart command line utility.
When multiple storage adpaters are present on the system, the first disk
presented by the diskpart utility is not always the first disk on the system.
To avoid this problem, please remove all storage adapters or disks that are
not required for the Windows installation.
o Installing any Windows Server 2003 64-bit version with Service Pack 2 to
SATA drives connected to IBM SAS HBA on x3455 or performing Windows Server
2003 64-bit version with Service Pack 2 installation on x3655

To install any Windows Server 2003 64-bit version with Service Pack 2
to SATA drive(s) connected to SAS HBA part number 25R8060 on a System x3455,
the planar SATA controller must be disabled in the BIOS. Likewise, to
install one of these Operating Systems on System x3655 the onboard SATA
controller must be disabled. To do this:

1) Boot into BIOS Setup by pressing F1


2) Go into the "Devices and I/O Ports" menu
3) Set "Planar SATA" to disabled
4) Save the changes and exit

After the OS is installed, you may reenable the SATA controller, but
in order for it to work you will need to install the drivers found in
the C:\drv\SATA directory.

Note: Installing an OS to external storage is not supported with this adapter.


o Windows Server 2008 x64 requires 1024 MB or greater of system memory.
o Windows 2008 Japanese keyboard information:

The Windows 2008 unattended install process does not properly set the
keyboard type to the Japanese (106/109 key) keyboard type, even if it
was selected in the Windows 2008 install screen.

To set the keyboard type to Japanese (106/109 key) keyboard in Windows


2008 after installation has completed, run C:\jpkbd106.reg and then
reboot the system.
o When installing Windows 2003 with an IBM 10GbE PCIe SR Server Adapter
(P/N 42C1760) in the system, you may find a yellow bang in Device Manager
under "Other Device" for the "Ethernet Controller"

To resolve this problem,


1) Create an account at:
http://www.netxen.com/support/downloads/drivers_software.asp
2) Log into the account with the OEM set to 'IBM'.

4) Unzip the driver package.
5) To install the driver, right click on the "Ethernet Controller" in
Device Manager and select "Update Driver..."
6) On the first screen of the wizard select "Install from a list or
specific location (Advanced)".
7) On the next screen click the checkbox "Include this location in the search:"

and use the browser button to navigate to the unzipped driver directory.
8) The correct subdirectory will either be win2k3\x64 or win2k3\x86 depending
on if you are running a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows respectively.
9) After you have selected the correct driver directory then continue to s
elect next to navigate through the rest of the Hardware Update Wizard.
o ServerGuide does not support the use of the following iSCSI Server Adapter
(73P3601).
o The Brocade 8Gb Single and Dual Port fibre adapters (46M6049 and 46M6050) are
only
supported as data drives. OS installations through these adapters are not
supported.
o A yellow exclamation mark may be present on a "Memory Module" in the Device
Manager
after installing Windows Server 2008 when using the maximum amount of memory
supported
with that version of Windows. This occurs as a result of memory mapped devices.
Refer to the Cause section of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929605 for more
information.
Despite the warning, the device is still functioning properly.
o When performing a Windows 2008 installation, the "Where do you want to install
Windows?"
screen may appear during the Windows Setup portion of the installation. Press
"Next" on
this screen to continue with the installation since ServerGuide has already
formatted
and partitioned the drives. Performing any formatting or partitioning at this
screen
could cause the OS installation to fail.
o 3GB SAS expander kit may cause "IBM ESXS SAS EXP BP SCSI Enclosure Device" to
show up
in Windows Server 2003 Device Manager with a yellow question mark if the
firmware
is lower than revision 0.58. Please run the latest UXSP for your system, or at
minimum
install the firmware found at the following link so the expansion adapter shows
properly
in Device Manager: https://www-
947.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-
5079655&brandind=5000008
o Installing Windows Server 2003 to a system with a fibre adapter installed fails.

When installing Windows Server 2003 to a system with a fibre adapter,


the installation may fail with the error message "QL2300.sys is corrupted." or
"elxstor.sys is corrupted."
To sucessfully install Windows Server 2003 to a system with a fibre adapter,
you must use Windows Server 2003 with Service Pack 2.
o When performing a Windows Server 2008 installation, ServerGuide does not
distinguish between a
Windows Server 2008 x86 disc and a Windows Server 2008 x64 disc during the
"Search OS Media" step.
If the wrong version of Windows Server 2008 is inserted then ServerGuide will
attempt to perform the installation and fail.
o When installing to a drive that previously used GPT partitioning the operating
system installation may fail.
This failure is caused by an incomplete cleanup of the drive by Diskpart.
To resolve this issue restart the system and retry the Windows installation.
o A popup may be displayed while ServerGuide is running stating "You must restart
your computer
to apply these changes. Before restarting, save any open files and close all
programs." If this
occurs, click the button labeled "Restart Later" and continue the installation
with ServerGuide.
o Windows Server 2003 Installs with a 49Y4220 or 42C1780 iSCSI adapter will
fail without one of the following Microsoft hotfixes:
1) Hotfix for x86 32-bit: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/957910
2) Hotfix for x86 64-bit : http://support.microsoft.com/kb/943295

When installing with the iSCSI adapter present but not intended as the boot
device, the hotfix can be run after the Windows installation to allow the
device driver to start, and remove the yellow exclamation marks in device
manager. If the Windows installation will be done to storage connected to
the 49Y4220 or 42C1780, the hotfix must be slipstreamed into your OS files
or the installation will not complete. Please refer to the following
knowledge base article for slipstream help:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814847

Hints and tips for this hotfix:


1) Use the entire contents of the Windows Server 2003 disc, rather than
copying just the i386 directory.
2) In step 9 it is recommended that you add to the new information to the
existing svcpack.in_ rather than deleting it and creating a new file.
If you choose to create a new file, it must be name svcpack.in_,
not svcpack.ini. The information in the [Version] field must also match
the version of Windows you are using for your installation, not the
information shown in the article.
3) The article pertains to Windows 2000 Server and Server 2003 32-bit
installations, so the steps are slightly different for the 64-bit
slipstream process. For instance, substitute the AMD64 directory
wherever the article uses the i386 directory.
o When installing Windows 2003 without Service Pack 2 included,
the "Everyone" group does not have the same permissions it would have if a retail
install was performed.

To grant the "Everyone" group the same permissions as a retail install, perform
the following steps:
1) Open Windows Explorer, right click on the C:\ drive, and select "Properties"
from the drop down menu
2) Select the "Security" tab in the "Properties" window and click the "Add..."
button
3) In the field to enter the object name enter "Everyone" and click OK
4) Click the "Advanced" button on the "Security" tab in the "Properties" window
5) In the "Advanced Security Settings" window, select the "Everyone" group and
click the "Edit..." button
6) In the "Permission Entry" window select the option "This folder only" in the
drop down menu for the "Apply onto" field
7) Click the "OK" button in each window to apply the new security settings
o ServerGuide may present a message stating that there was an internal error with
"savestat /reset" on
some uEFI systems with older uEFI versions. To prevent this, make sure your uEFI
levels are updated to
the latest version. If the error is displayed on the last screen of ServerGuide
before the reboot into
the unattended portion of the OS installation, it will not have any adverse
effects on the completion
of the OS installation.
o When using ServerGuide to perform RAID configuration, a best practice is to
ensure that all the disks connected
to the RAID controller are the same size.
o While performing a Windows installation you might encounter the following error
message:
"Windows cannot locate the disk and partition specified in the unattend answer
file's <ImageInstall> setting".
This error can occur for different reasons including the installation drive
having previously been formatted as a
GPT drive or having a different OS previously installed on the system.

To resolve this issue, first restart the system and retry the Windows
installation.
If this does not resolve the issue then delete all partitions and formatting on
the drives in the system and retry the Windows installation.
If this does not resolve the issue, and the system has multiple storage adapters,

please see the next limitation for additional steps to try.


o When performing a Windows installation, ServerGuide attempts to install Windows
on the
first disk of the system presented by Microsoft's diskpart utility.
Due to the limitations of the system, when multiple storage adapters are present
on the
system, the first disk presented by the diskpart utility is not always the the
first disk on the system.
To avoid this problem, please remove all storage adapters and/or disks that are
not required for the Windows installation.
