Installing Express5800/320Ma System Software 2-1

Overview of the IPL and Post-IPL Procedures

The IPL procedure installs the following:

• Microsoft Windows Server 2003

On Express5800/320Ma systems, Windows Server 2003 Enterprise Edition and Service Pack 1 is installed and supported.

• Express5800/320Ma, including ftServer drivers, ftServer Manager, and

Express5800/320Ma Software Availability Manager (SAM)

• Java™ Runtime Environment (JRE) for using the Virtual Technician Module (VTM)

console

• Operating system files that are customized for the systems

• System documentation

IPL Considerations

• Neither the IPL procedure nor the post-IPL procedure mirrors the system disk. To

achiev e fault toleran ce, mirror it after th e installation. See the Express5800/320Ma: Software Installation and Configuration Gu ide for instructions.

• Do not attempt to use your Windows Server CD alone to install or reinstall Windows

Server. Instead, use the NEC ExpressBuilder CD (1 of 2) to perform the IPL procedure. The NEC ExpressBuilder CD (1 of 2) contains customiz ed drive rs that are necessary to run an Express5800/320Ma system proper ly.

• The Post Installation Check, which runs after the IPL, automatically creates a file

named Versiondate.plt (date represents the file creation time and date) that contains information about the files that we re installed. NEC Technical Support can use this file to analyze installation problems. This information file is created in the following folder :

%ProgramFiles%\Stratus\CustomerService\VersionReports

• The Post In stallation Check tool, which al so runs after the IPL, creates a file named

Postcheck_yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm.txt in the %ProgramFiles%\Stratus\Customerservice\Installcheck folder on the system drive. In the file name, yyyy_mm_dd_hh_mm indicates the yea r, month, dat e, hour , and minute when the file was created.

2-2 Express5800/320Ma: Software Installation and Configuration Guide

The Post Installation Check tool verifies that:

– Express5800/320Ma applications ar e pr op e rly installed. – Correct versions of driv ers are properly installed. – The correct, compiled Managed Object Format (MOF) files are present. – Express5800/320Ma services are installed and started, except for services

that run only at system startup. – Third-party applications are properly installed. – Microsoft hotfixes are installed.

• The IPL procedure takes approximately two and one-half hours to complete.

Mini-Setup Worksheet

Before you start the IPL or Mini-Setup procedure, record site-specific information on the worksheet shown in Table 2-1, which lists the information requested by the IPL and Mini-Setup prompts.

System name and administrator password

If Windows Server 2003 was installed by the manufacturer, you do not need a product key.

The product key is located on the Windows Server 2003 CD case or on the cover of Windows Server 2003 documentation.

Windows Server 2003 supports two licensing modes: per seat and per server.

If you choose Per server, each concurrent connection to the server requires a separate Client Access License. If you select this mode, you can change the mode to the Per Device or Per User mode later.

If you choose Per Device or Per User, each computer that accesses the server requires a separate Client Access License. If you select this mode, you cannot change the mode to the per-server mode later.

A system name is a unique computer name that differs from other computer, workgroup, or domain names on your network. Mini-Setup suggests a system name, but you can change the name. Ask your network administrator for name recommendations.

same workgroup name. To join a workgroup, provide a new workgroup name, or use the workgroup name that Windows suggests during Mini-Setup.

A domain is a group of computers that are part of a network, are managed by a domain controller, and share a common directory database. Joining a domain requires a computer account in the domain you want to join. To join a domain during Mini-Setup, provide the name of an existing domain, your user name, and your password.
