Installing ESX Server on Additional Blades

Once you install ESX Server on a system, you can quickly deploy or provision more ESX

Server systems that share the same configuration or have a similar configuration. You

can install ESX Server on additional blades either by using the ESX Server 2.5 CD-ROM

(described in the preceding section) or by using a remote network installation

procedure (described in the following section).

Performing a Remote Network Installation of ESX Server with

RDM

You can set up an installation script that comprises the choices you want to make

during the installation of ESX Server software. This script allows you to install ESX

Server remotely, without having to use an ESX Server CD in the new target ESX server

system.

Complete only one of the following:

! Perform a remote network installation with RDM

! Perform a scripted installation

In this paper, we describe the remote network installation with RDM. Refer to

“Scripting Your Installations” on page 95 for the scripted installation procedure.

These are the minimum system requirements:

! Microsoft® Windows® 2000 server

! Both IBM® Director and RDM software, version 4.11 or higher, must be installed

on the Windows 2000 server

! 512MB RAM minimum for running IBM Director and RDM

! DBMS, such as Microsoft SQL Server, installed on the Windows 2000 server

! DHCP server that is configured either by RDM or by an existing server with the

proper pre-boot execution environment (PXE) configuration

! NFS Server with a mount point sharing the contents of the ESX Server 2.5 CD-ROM

OTE Use the following procedure to install ESX Server on the second and any additional

blades.
