  1. Lesson 21– INSTALLING LINUX IN A SERVER CONFIGURATION

  2. OVERVIEW • Before the installation • Installing Red Hat Linux

  3. BEFORE THE INSTALLATION • Hardware • Server design • Design decision • Physical safety of servers • Improve server situation • Uptime • Dual-Booting issues • Methods of installation

  4. Hardware Hardware Compatibility List (HCL): • Red Hat http://www.redhat.com/hardware • Calderawww.calderasystems.com/products/openlinux/hardware.html

  5. Server design Significant issues: • Stability • Availability • Performance

  6. Design decision • The most significant design decision to make when managing a server configuration is not technical, but administrative. • The server designed should have a good environment.

  7. Design decision Server design should not be user friendly: • No multimedia tools. • No sound card support. • No distracting web browsers.

  8. Physical safety of servers • Keep servers in a separate, physically secure room. • Restrict server access for non-administrative personnel only through the Network. • Install a battery backup.

  9. Improve server situation • Avoid starting X Window until required. • Determine what functions you want the server to perform and disable the other functions. • Linux allows tailoring of the kernel.

  10. Uptime Uptime command provides: • Duration of the system since its last boot. • Number of users currently logged in. • Load the system is experiencing.

  11. Dual-Booting issues • Windows 95 or Windows 98 – use the fips.exe. • Windows NT – move some of the data around manually to free a partition.

  12. Dual-Booting issues • To repartition a system that has already had Windows 9x/NT installed onto it –use third party software like “Partition Magic”.

  13. Methods of installation • Network • CD-ROM

  14. For more information • Call the distribution’s tech support lines. • www.linuxcare.com • www.redhat.com • www.caldera.com • comp.os.linux.admin • http://www.deja.com. • http://www.linuxdoc.org

  15. INSTALLING RED HAT LINUX • Creating a Boot Disk • Starting the installation

  16. Creating a Boot Disk • Select Start, Programs, MS-DOS Prompt. • Change to the drive where the CD-ROM is located. • Select the dosutils directory. • Execute the rawrite.exe program.

  17. Starting the installation Steps: • Boot off the CD-ROM. • Press ENTER to start the process.

  18. Starting the installation Choose a language.

  19. Starting the installation Select a keyboard type.

  20. Starting the installation Select a mouse.

  21. Starting the installation • You can now begin installing Red Hat Linux. • A splash screen tells you how to register Red Hat Linux. • Click Next to continue.

  22. Starting the installation Select between Installing/Upgrading.

  23. Starting the installation Create partitions for Linux

  24. Starting the installation • Disk Druid partitioning tool: • Mount Point • Device Linux associates each partition with a separate device. • Requested • Actual • Type

  25. Starting the installation Disk Druid partitioning tool

  26. Starting the installation • Add a partition : • Mount point • Size (Megs) • Grow to fill disk • Partition type • Allowable drives
