    Contents Introduction Prerequisites Requirements Components Used Background Information Download Required Driver ISO Bundle Steps to install RHEL 7.0 or CentOS 7.0 Verify Steps to install RHEL 6.5 or CentOS 6.5 Verify Post Installation Verification Related Information Introduction This document describes how to install Redhat Enterprise Linux ( RHEL ) or CentOS Linux on the Cisco Unified Computing System (UCS) M-Series server using local storage. Prerequisites Requirements Cisco recommends that you have knowledge of these topics: ● Cisco UCS Manager 2.5 or 3.1 version ● Storage Profiles ● Linux Operating Systems (OS) Components Used The information in this document is based on UCS M-Series. The information in this document was created from the devices in a specific lab environment. All of the devices used in this document started with a cleared (default) configuration. If your network is live, make sure that you understand the potential impact of any command. Background Information Cisco M-Series modular server is one of the Cisco products that represents Composable Infrastructure design. The modular servers do not have a local storage but a centralized storage that can be shared by all servers. To access the shared storage, OS requires new Small Computer System Interface (SCSI) driver called as storage Network Interface Card ( sNIC ) and has to be added during installation for OS to detect the disks. The next few sections of this document provides information on how to download the driver and install it during the OS installation. Download Required Driver ISO Bundle The UCS Hardware and Software Interoperability Matrix outlines the driver versions that are required for a particular OS, device, and firmware combination.These links for the Matrix Utility Tool and the Matrix PDFs, determines the required driver version.

  • The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Advantage
    WHITEPAPER THE RED HAT ENTERPRISE LINUX ADVANTAGE EXECUTIVE SUMMARY There is a famous definition that describes an airplane as a million parts flying in close forma- tion. Linux is like that airplane — it consists of millions of lines of code in thousands of modules from tens of thousands of developers. And its value isn’t in the pieces — it’s in reliably and effi- ciently solving customer problems. Red Hat builds on this as a domain-spanning engineering partner with collaborative relationships, which it uses to provide Red Hat Enterprise Linux, the premier platform for enterprise workloads. TABLE OF CONTENTS 3 Open source community 14 Lifecycle 4 The rapidly evolving Linux ecosystem 14 Subscriptions The Red Hat Enterprise Linux model 15 Conclusion Innovate Snapshot, integrate, and stabilize Support Minor releases www.redhat.com WHITEPAPER The REd Hat Enterprise LInux AdvAntagE There is a famous definition that describes an airplane as a million parts flying in close formation. Linux is similar to an airplane in that it consists of millions of lines of code in thousands of mod- ules from tens of thousands of developers. Like an aircraft manufacturer, Red Hat takes all of these piece parts and integrates them into a single functional system ready to support enter- prise workloads. Beyond the initial integration, Red Hat continues to support and enhance the product. To con- tinue the airplane analogy, Red Hat’s job is to keep the airplane flying on schedule, safely, and to continuously monitor and enhance it to ensure it is operating properly. Red Hat Enterprise Linux major releases can be compared to new generations of aircraft from Boeing or Airbus — doing the same basic job, but with many improvements and enhancements, taking advantage of new technology and new developments.
