Recovering The Operating System; Configuring The Partitions During Operating System Recovery - Dell DX6000 User Manual

Recovering the Operating System

Use the Unified Server Configurator - LifeCycle Controller Enabled (USC-
LCE) utility on the DX6a00 system to recover the operating system. For
specific instructions, see "Deploying the Operating System using the OS
Deployment Wizard" in the Dell Unified Server Configurator - LifeCycle
Enabled User Guide at support.dell.com/manuals.
CAUTION:
Reinstalling the operating system on existing disk drives erases all
installed applications and data.
Locate the operating system media that came with the system and proceed to
the operating system deployment option from USC-LCE. Follow the
instructions on the screen to install the operating system.
• When prompted to enter an installation number, select Skip Entering
Installation Number option. The installation number can also be entered
at a later stage.
• The DX Cluster Services Node software installation process requires a
YUM repository for updating package dependencies. Skip the installation
number entry to save time during the dependency update process.
• To save time during the dependency update process, select Do Not
Connect when prompted to connect to the Red Hat Network. You may
connect to the Red Hat network once the DX Cluster Services Node
software installation is complete.
