[help] cara install server 2003 di IBM XSeries 366 tanpa floppy

bikin slipstream (memasukkan driver sata ke cd istaller) dulu gan

kalau xseries ada cd paket installasinya gan, pertama preparasi installasinya dari cd
xseriesnya, masukin semua parameter installasi ( versi windows, cd key, dll) nanti
tinggal ikuti aja wizardnya.
dalam setiap pembelian server selalu dilengkapi dengan paket cdnya (terutama ibm
dan hp)

atau cara lainnya agan install dulu linux centos setelah itu baru win servnya...

Installasi Windows 2008 di IBM xSeries 226.

Pernah mengalami kesulitan installasi windows 2008 di IBM xSeries 226 ??, Biasanya untuk installasi server
IBM, selalu menggunakan ServerGuide dari IBM untuk konfigurasi RAID nya. Sialnya ServerGuide untuk
IBM xSeries 226 tidak support Windows 2008. Dia hanya mendukung Windows 2003 server.

Kemudian, kalau kita langsung install dari CDROM (Boot From CD), Maka windows 2008 server akan gagal
mengenal HD xSeries 226. Sebenernya ada menu Browse untuk Load SCSI Driver IBM xSeries 226. Tetapi
di Websitenya IBM, tidak ada driver SCSI Untuk Windows 2008… Nah Loo…yang ada Driver SCSI Untuk
Linux.

Karena sudah pusing…, langsung saja xSeries 226 saya install windows 2003 server, terus di Upgrade ke

windows 2008… hehehehe… .. so simple ya…, samapai sekarang si IBM masih bekerja dengan baik,
meskipun khawatir ada masalah.

Hello guys, I got a question. I never installed under an IBM server, only HPs and clones...
This server in particular (an xSeries 206m) has a freshly created RAID with 2 160 GB SATA
disks.

I booted with the ServerGuide CD and I'm clearing the drives now ith ServeRAID manager.
My question is this: I see this clearing of the drives is going to take like 8 hours more to
complete, so I'm leaving the facilities and completing the job some other day. I never
installed under ServerGuide. After the new logical drive clearing is completed, I'll have the
RAID unit in good order. What's next? This ServerGuide software works as a launching
plataform for Windows Server 2003? Because I'm doing all this since this server doesn't have
a floppy disk drive and Windows doens't accept RAID drivers in CD. So am I in the right
direction to be able to install Windows 2003 with the RAID 1 logical drive activated with the
steps I'm taking now?

I'd like confirmation on that because I'm coming back in a couple of days and I need to know
if it is OK or rather I need to be prepared with something before coming here.

Thanks a lot!
