3.4 Remote Installation
ServerStart supports remote installation.

ꢀ
Before performing remote installation, be sure to read "Cautions for Remote Installation" in the online
help.
3.4.1 Overview of Remote Installation
Remote installation is a method to save resources necessary for installation, such as the OS and Service
Pack, in a different server on the network and install them via the network.
If a remote resource server is configured, you can install the same resources to multiple servers. This
method is useful in configuring multiple servers.
● Target Server and Remote Resource Server/PXE Server
A server to which resources are installed is called a "target server". A server that stores resources
necessary for remote installation is called a "remote resource server". A server that can start up a target
server through network startup (PXE) is called a "PXE server".
■ Installation Method
Remote installation uses a PXE or a remote resource server.
85

Chapter 3 OS Installation Using ServerStart
● Remote Installation Using a PXE Server
In remote installation using a PXE server, the network startup (PXE) function of the PXE server starts
up the target server and performs installation in preconfiguration mode. This method is used when the
target server does not have a CD-ROM or floppy disk drive.

PXE server
In addition to the PXE server, a "remote resource server" that stores remote resources and a "DHCP
server" that performs the DHCP service are required for remote installation using a PXE server. When
you have only one server, store remote resources on the PXE server to install the DHCP service. When
you have multiple servers, select one for performing the DHCP service and another for storing remote
resources.
● Remote Installation Using a Remote Resource Server
In remote installation using a remote resource server, ServerStart starts up on the target server.
Procedures for starting installation are the same as those in normal installation (preconfiguration mode,
guided mode, and expert mode). Once installation started, resources necessary for installation are
provided from the remote resource server. Thus, procedures such as inserting a CR-ROM are not
necessary.

3.4.2 System Requirements for Remote Resource/PXE
Servers
Because remote installation is performed via a network, the environment must have at least one
Windows server and a local area network.
3
In addition, the following environment is required.
■ Remote Resource/PXE Server Requirements
table: System Requirements for Remote Resource/PXE Servers

• File sharing function (required)
• File sharing function (required)
• Display screen size: XGA (1024 by 768

Notes on the PXE server
ꢀ
ꢀ
Check that no other PXE server exists on the same LAN.
Servers installed with software with the PXE function such as SystemcastWizard/SystemcastWizard
Professional, Quick Recovery Manager, or the Microsoft RIS function cannot be used as a PXE server.
■ Checking Server Free Space
Decide a server to use as a remote resource server / PXE server and check it for enough free space for
storing resources.
● Checking the Number of Servers
•
•
When you have only one server, use it as the remote resource server, PXE server, and DHCP service
server. Check it for the required amount of free space.
When you have multiple servers
• Check if a server performing the DHCP service exists. If not, decide a server for the DHCP
service.
• When there are multiple resources, they can be divided and stored in multiple remote resource
servers.

Calculate the total resource size. Check that the remote resource server / PXE server has enough free
space (free space greater than the space required for the resources). When the amount of free space is
insufficient, you must use more remote resource servers.
3.4.3 Preparation of the PXE Server (When the PXE Server
is Used)
When performing remote installation using a PXE server, preparatory procedures, such as installing
ServerStart, are required.
Perform the following procedures to prepare the PXE server.

5.1 Memory Dump/Paging File
Setting
Before start operating this server, configure the setting for obtaining memory dump.
The setting procedure varies between Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000
Server.
● Memory Dump
If memory dump is set, debugging information will be automatically saved when a STOP error (fatal
system error) occurs in the system. Using the saved memory dump, error cause can be analyzed.
If the amount of installed memory is large, pay special attention when setting the memory dump file.
The settings for obtaining memory dump should be configured after installing the files to be used for
operations (OS, applications, etc.).
5.1.1 How to Obtain Memory Dump
For Windows Server 2003
Check the following settings before starting configuration to obtain memory dump.
■ Checking Hard Disk Free Space
To obtain memory dump, sufficient hard disk capacity is required for creating paging files and memory
dump files.
The obtainable dump types and required hard disk capacity are as follows:
● Complete Memory (Full) Dump
When the system unexpectedly stops, contents of the whole system memory are recorded. The file is
stored in the directory displayed in the [Dump file] box.
•
•
Paging file: Installed physical memory + 11MB (Recommended: Installed physical memory x 1.5)
Memory dump file: Same amount as installed physical memory
● Kernel Memory Dump
Information of only kernel memory space is recorded. The file is stored in the directory displayed in the
[Dump file] box. Capacity required for kernel memory dump is as follows:
•
Paging file: Depending on installed physical memory amount
For memory of 256 to 1,373MB - Installed physical memory × 1.5
For memory of 1,374MB or more - 32-bit system: 2GB + 16MB
64-bit system: RAM size + 128MB
•
Memory dump file: Depending on the used amount of kernel-mode address space during STOP

5.1.2 How to Obtain Memory Dump
(For Windows 2000 Server)
Check the following settings before starting configuration to obtain memory dump.
■ Checking Hard Disk Free Space
Once memory dump is obtained, a file containing contents of the whole physical memory installed in the
system is created. Before storing the dump file, confirm that there is sufficient free space in the hard
disk.
The obtainable dump types and required hard disk capacity are as follows:
● Complete Memory (Full) Dump
When the system unexpectedly stops, contents of the whole system memory are recorded. If this option
is selected, space to retain the paging file as large as the whole physical memory × 1.3 is required in the
boot volume.
•
Included information
Common header, all virtual address pages that are not paged out during STOP

5.3 Storing the System Setting
Information
5
Before starting operations, store the configuration information of the BIOS setup
utility. By storing this information, the system can be recovered with the stored
information in case of a system failure (such as when the information is deleted due
to the drain of the built-in battery). Use Server Management Tools for storing and
recovering the system configuration information.
ꢁ
ꢁ
Be sure to store the BIOS information after the following operations:
• When the information is changed with the BIOS setup utility
• When the hardware configuration of this server is changed (e.g. a CUP, memory, baseboard or
expansion card is added/removed or changed)
As the stored system configuration information will be used during maintenance, etc., send it to your
maintenance personnel.
■ Preparation for Using Server Management Tools
Before using Server Management Tools, prepare the "Server Management Tools" disk supplied with the
server at hand.
■ Notes
•
Server Management Tools are for this server only. Do not use those tools on other systems. If it is
used, the system can be damaged.
•
Only the information that is configured with the BIOS setup utility can be stored/recovered with
Server Management Tools. The BIOS information in internal SCSI devices or expansion cards
cannot be stored/recovered.
•
Make sure to start up the server with the "Server Management Tools" disk before running Server
Management Tools. Do not run Server Management Tools on the server started from the hard disk or
by the other floppy disks. Otherwise, the system may be corrupted.
•
•
Do not eject a floppy disk while the floppy disk access LED is on. Such an action may lead not only
to corruption of the floppy disk data but also an unstable state of the system.
If an error message appears while running Server Management Tools, respond to the message

7.6 Installing an Internal Hard Disk
Unit
This section explains how to install internal hard disk units.
• The circuit boards and soldered parts of internal options are exposed. They
can be damaged by static electricity.
Before handling them, first touch a metal part of the server to discharge static
electricity.
• Do not touch the circuitry on boards or soldered parts. Hold the metallic areas
or the edges of the circuit boards.
• Before removing the unit, turn the power off and wait for about 30 seconds until
the disk stops completely.
• Rough handling of the hard disk unit can damage the stored data. To cope with
any unexpected problems, always back up important data. When backing up
data to another hard disk unit, you should make backups on a file or block
basis.
• Use the unit in a dry place with low airborne dust levels.
• Take great care so that you do not hit the hard disk or bring it into contact with
metallic objects.
• Use the device on a shock-and-vibration free surface.
• Keep the device away from direct sunlight and from radiators or other heat
sources.
• Do not use the unit in a place where the temperature is extremely high or low,
or experiences extreme temperature changes.
• Do not disassemble the hard disk unit.

This section explains how to check the status of the operating server, as well as how
to perform daily maintenance.
9.1.1 Checking the Server Condition
Use the status LED or server monitoring tool to check the server status.
■ Checking Each LED
This server is equipped with LEDs that display various hardware conditions.
Check the server status via each LED after starting the server. For positions and functions of each status
■ Server Monitoring Tool (ServerView)
ServerView is software that monitors whether the server hardware is in a normal state to protect
important server resources. When using ServerView, the server hardware is monitored all the time. If an
error that could cause trouble is detected, the administrator is notified in real-time for early detection.
This allows the server administrator to remove a system error early and avoid trouble.
For an overview and installation of ServerView and other high reliability tools, refer to "1.2.2 High
9.1.2 Cleaning
Clean the server at regular intervals.
Clean the server as follows.
• Before cleaning, turn off the server and unplug the power cables from the
outlets. Also power off peripherals and disconnect them from the server.
Failure to do so can cause electric shock.
■ Cleaning the Server
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth. For stains that do not come off with a dry cloth, wipe with a cloth lightly
dampened with a mild detergent. Once the stain has been removed, wipe off any remaining detergent
with a cloth dampened with water. When wiping the server, be sure that no moisture enters the server
machine.
Do not use solvents. Use a mild detergent only. Otherwise, the server may be damaged.
Use a vacuum cleaner periodically to prevent dust buildup in ventilation holes.

● Notes on Operations in RAID1 Configuration
When disks of the server are used in RAID1 redundancy configuration, the disk data is protected even if
a single hard disk unit has failed. However, if both hard disks have failed, the disk data will be
permanently lost. Also, if the user repeatedly powers on/off or repeatedly reboots while a single disk unit
has failed, data reliability may be lost.
If a disk failure is detected, replace the failed disk unit as soon as possible to safeguard customer data.

9.2.3 Software Troubleshooting
This section explains software related troubleshooting. For troubles during OS installation or system
operation, refer to the following contents.
■ Trouble at a ServerStart Startup
● After a boot from the ServerStart CD-ROM, nothing is displayed on the
screen.
This problem may occur if the hard disk drive still contains previous information. In that case, this
problem will occur when the Windows Server 2003 Installation CD-ROM is inserted.
To eliminate this problem, physically format the hard disk drive to delete the previous information and
start up ServerStart. For physical formatting, refer to "PRIMERGY ServerBooks" supplied with the
server, or "Supplement" supplied with the RAID card.
■ Trouble during OS Installation
● Automatic logon fails during Windows 2000 setup.
During OS installation, ServerStart installs applications and hardware utilities supplied with the OS.
Installation and subsequent restart and logon are performed automatically as necessary. In rare cases,
however, automatic logon is not performed and the logon window appears. In this widow, use the user
name and password you have set before starting installation. After logon, the setup procedures are
continued.
● Automatic installation has stopped at an entry screen during Active
Directory configuration.
If automatic installation has stopped during Active Directory configuration, check the error message
first. Automatic installation can stop when the password is required, such as when registration in DNS
fails. Check the environment and continue the installation manually. If the problem is not solved, click
[Cancel] and after the OS installation, manually configure Active Directory.
If you have continued the Active Directory installation wizard manually, the following message appears
when the installation wizard closes.
IPMI BMC Not Exist "You must restart Windows to
make the settings in the Active Directory instal-
lation wizard effective."
If this message appears, click [Restart] to continue the installation.

● The "Windows - Too small virtual memory size" message appears after
completion of "Create ServerStart Floppy Disk".
This message may be displayed when no disk array is configured and ServerStart is started during
256MB memory OS installation on the hard disk connected to the RAID card. If the server has 256MB
memory and install the OS on the hard disk connected to the RAID card, make sure to configure a disk
array using WebBIOS before starting ServerStart. For details on the WebBIOS, refer to "PRIMERGY
ServerBooks" supplied with the server, or "Supplement" supplied with the RAID card. If the disk array
is already configured, you do not need to reconfigure it.
● The "Windows - Too small virtual memory size" message appears in the
automatic installation mode.
If you install an OS on the server having 256MB memory and create a 100,000MB or a larger partition,
this error occurs and installation of the OS will not be successful.
When creating a 100,000MB or larger partition, use one of the following options.
•
•
Install 512MB or larger memory and reinstall the OS.
Create partitions less than 100,000MB and reinstall the OS. Then, create the desired size of partition
using the OS's disk administrative functions.
● "Error 1920. Service (PXE Services) failed to start" appears during
preconfigured installation.

■ Cannot Collect the Memory Dump
If the memory dump file cannot be created, perform the following procedures.
● Correct the settings
If the memory dump cannot be collected, check the settings of the paging file and memory dump file.
● Collect memory dump to other than the system drive
If the memory dump was set to be collected to the system drive (C:\), change the settings so that the
memory dump can be saved to a drive other than the system drive.
If only the system drive exists, or if there is no free space in any of the drives, perform one of the
following:
•
•
Adding a hard disk
Replacing with a larger hard disk
● Reduce the installed memory to collect the memory dump
To obtain memory dump regardless of the installed memory size, reduce the installed memory to an
obtainable size.
Check the memory dump settings when changing the installed memory size.
● Change the write type of the debugging information
(For Windows Server 2003 or Windows 2000 Server)

9.4.3 Security When Disposing the Server
■ Notes regarding the Deletion of Data from the Hard Disk When
Disposing or Transferring the Server
When disposing or transferring a server that has been used, the data in the hard disk may be read and
used unscrupulously. To prevent confidential or important data from leaking out, the data on the hard
disk must be wiped before disposing or transferring the server.
However, wiping the hard disk is not an easy task. Simply initializing (formatting) the hard disk or
deleting the files may give the pretense that the data no longer exists, but in reality the data is simply no
longer accessible to the OS, and it is still accessible to malicious individuals that can restore the data.
Therefore, if confidential or important data is saved to the hard disk, in addition to the operations
mentioned above, it is recommended to use third-party tools or services to wipe the data completely
from the disk to prevent its restoration.
When disposing or transferring the server, it is the customers responsibility to wipe data contained in the
hard disk in order to prevent such important data from leaking.
Also, if software license agreements prohibit unauthorized distribution of software (OS or application
software), transferring the server without removing the software may violate the license agreements.
These issues must be taken into consideration.

Chapter 9 Operation and Maintenance
9.5 Backup
This server utilizes high reliability components and hard disks, however, as a
precautionary measure, it is recommended that periodic backups be taken of the
data.
9.5.1 Importance of Backups
If the data on the server is backed up, it can be restored from the backup data in the event of data
corruption in hard disk units due to hardware failures or operational errors. If backups are not made,
restoration is impossible and your important data will be lost permanently. For anxiety-free system
operation, be sure to perform periodic backups of the system.
9.5.2 Backup Devices, Software and Their Operations
A backup of data stored on the server is required for data restoration in the event of server trouble
resulting in a system failure or accidental data loss due to operational errors. If the data on the server is
backed up, it can be restored from the backup in the event of hardware failures or data corruption in hard
disks due to operational errors. If backups are not made, restoration is impossible and data will be
permanently lost. To prepare for unexpected problems, be sure to perform periodic backups of the
system.
•
•
Backup device (e.g., DDS4 drive)

•
Use our genuine backup devices and software. Observe the backup medium (tape) storage conditions.

PRIMERGY RX100 S2 User’s Guide
■ Notes on Operating Backups
Notes on operating backups are as follows.
For details, refer to the device manuals.
● Head Cleaning
Airborne dust and dust from the magnetic media can collect on the head of the magnetic tape device. To
remove this dust, head cleaning must be implemented. Implement head cleaning when the device
displays a cleaning request. Particularly DDS devices require periodic head cleaning, otherwise dust can
cling to the magnetic head, creating a situation that cannot be cleaned with standard head cleaning
methods, and eventually render the device useless.
Also note that the cleaning media has a limit on how many times it can be used.
Using cleaning media that exceeded its lifespan will have no cleaning effect. Note these points
especially when performing automatic backups with library devices.
● Managing Media Lifespans
Media is a consumable product that must be replaced regularly.
Continued use of media exceeding its lifespan can have negative effects on the device (e.g. increase the
speed of dust accumulation).
The lifespan of media varies depending on the environment and operation condition of the device, the
type of backup software used, and other operation conditions, however, it is recommended that they be
replaced sooner than later.
To manage the lifespan, write the use start date on the media.
● Rotating Media
Rotate between several media for backups.
When using a single media cartridge repeatedly, backup data can be temporarily lost in the event the
backup fails. Or if the hard disk were to fail during a backup, the data will become unrecoverable.
● Avoid Leaving Media in Devices
Because the magnetic recording surface of the device is exposed, media can easily affected by airborne
dust when left inserted for a long period of time. Insert the media before using it, and remove the media
after use, and restore it in its case.
Also note that some tape devices write management information to the tape when ejecting the media. If
the power were to go out when the media is still in the device, this writing process will not be performed
and the media may become corrupted.
To avoid this, remove the media from the device when turning off the server/device.
● Verifying Data after a Backup
Some backup software products provide data verification functions after a backup is completed. Such
functions will read and verify the data written to the media after a backup is completed. This will
increase the usage of the media, thus reducing the number of times it can be used for backups.
Depending on the hardware being used, some devices perform "read after write" operations on data; note
the points of this section as necessary.

Chapter 9 Operation and Maintenance
● Ejecting Media after a Backup
Some backup software products provide functions for ejecting media after a backup is completed. Such
functions will rewind the tape after a backup is completed and then eject the media from the drive.
Be sure to execute this function for autoloader/library devices. Depending on the structure of some
servers, this function may cause the media to eject from an internal device of the server and hit the
chassis door. If this is the case, open the door when ejecting, or do not eject the media.
● Media Label Types and Positions
When writing information such as the name on media, use the label that came with the media.
The area in which a label can be posted on the media of each device varies.
Failing to post labels in the designated area can damage the device.
● Data Storage
When storing data for long periods of time, store the media in a location least affected by temperature,
humidity, and magnetic fields.

D Recycling
This section explains how to recycle this server.
A
■ Disposing of the Server
When scrapping this server, contact an office listed in the "Contact Information" of the "Start Guide".
This server must be disposed of as industrial waste.
Furthermore, if the server is disposed of as it is, someone else may gain access to the information
contained on the hard disks. It is therefore recommended that all drives be formatted before disposal.
However, just formatting or deleting files may not avoid the risk that the data is restored and used for
wrongful purposes. If confidential or private information is saved, in order to make it impossible to be
restored, it is recommended to use third-party data wiping tools.
■ Disposing of Used-up Batteries
Used-up batteries must be disposed of as industrial waste and therefore require special processing. Let a
licensed industrial waste disposal company take care of disposing them.
■ Disposing of Liquid Crystal Displays
Liquid crystal displays must be disposed of as industrial waste and therefore require special processing.
Let a licensed industrial waste disposal company take care of disposing them.
