17.2 Install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 5

Follow the operating system installation instructions that are available for each IBM
BladeCenter blade and System x server. The installation guides can be found in the
"Install/use" section of each product's support Web sites.
For our IBM BladeCenter HS21 (8853) with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4, we used the
instructions shown in
http://www-304.ibm.com/jct01004c/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndoci
d=MIGR-65149&brandind=5000020.
The installation was performed using Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 with Update 5, although the
instructions in the Web site are for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 Update 3. No additional
packages were chosen during the installation.
In Table 17-1, we can see that the BladeCenter HS21 has three network interfaces. Interface
eth0 is used to access the public network and eth2 and 3 are dedicated for iSCSI connections
to the System Storage DS3300.
