Installing the Virtual I/O Server and enabling the Integrated Virtualization Manager on an IBM BladeCenter blade server with Power Architecture technology

When you install the Virtual I/O Server on an IBM® BladeCenter® blade server with Power Architecture® technology, the Virtual I/O Server automatically creates a management partition whose interface is the Integrated Virtualization Manager.

1. Insert the Virtual I/O Server CD or DVD into the optical drive.
2. Assign the media tray to the blade server on which you plan to install the Virtual I/O Server:
   1. From the management module Web interface, select Blade Tasks > Remote Control.
   2. Select Start Remote Control.
   3. In the Change media tray owner field, select the blade server on which you plan to install the Virtual I/O Server.
   Alternatively, you can assign the media try to the blade server by using the control panel.
3. In SMS, select the CD or DVD as the boot device:
   1. Select Select Boot Options, and then press Enter.
   2. Select Select Install/Boot Device, and then press Enter.
   3. Select List all Devices, and then press Enter.
   4. Select the device number that corresponds to the optical device, and then press Enter.
   5. Select Normal Boot Mode, and then press Enter.
   6. Exit the SMS menu by pressing the x key, and confirm that you want to exit SMS.
4. Install the Virtual I/O Server:
   1. Select the console, and then press Enter.
   2. Select a language for the BOS menus, and then press Enter.
   3. Select Change/Show Installation Settings and Install, and then press Enter.
   4. Select 1 to verify that Disk Where You Want to Install field is set appropriately. Verify the actual location code (for example, 01-08-00-1,0) of the target hard disk. The logical name for the hard disks (for example, hdisk0) that is displayed in this menu can be different from the logical name for the same hard disk that is listed within the Virtual I/O Server (for example, from the lspv command) that runs on the same machine. This can happen when you add disks after you install the Virtual I/O Server.
   5. Return to the Installation and Maintenance menu and select Start Install Now with Default Settings.
   6. Select Continue with Install. The managed system restarts after the installation is complete, and the login prompt is displayed on the ASCII terminal.
