2.3 Precautions on Installation

Observe the following notes before starting OS installation.

2.3.1 Installation Partition Size

The installation partition sizes are stated as below when using ServerStart to install your OS.
• Maximum size: 2TB
• Minimum size: 2200MB
Notes
• When setting the OS and BOOT partitions on different partitions, specify the partition size directly.
The BOOT partition indicates the partition for startup. Minimum information required for startup
such as "ntldr" is allocated on the partition. The OS partition indicates the partition for installing the
OS.
• In either of the following cases, specify a partition size 2TB or less.
• When the same partition is specified as the OS and BOOT partitions
• When different partitions are specified as the OS and BOOT partitions
• The OS cannot be installed on a partition larger than 2TB.

2.3.2 Notes on Configuring RAID

Observe the following notes before configuring RAID.
Hard disk unit
• Only internal hard disk units can be used. The number of available hard disk units to be installed
varies depending on the RAID level. For details, refer to manuals in Array Controller Document &
Tool CD.
• Be sure to use hard disk units of the same model with the same capacity.
Array configuration
Array controllers to be used vary depending on a model of the server. For RAID configuration of each
model, refer to applicable manuals.
When using a SAS controller card (Integrated Mirroring SAS) (SAS model
only)
Configure a RAID with internal hard disk units that are connected to a SAS controller card. The array
controller to be employed is "Integrated Mirroring SAS" and available RAID level is "RAID 1" only.
For details, refer to "Integrated Mirroring SAS User's Guide" in Array Controller Document & Tool CD.
