Configuring the Xserve G5 PCI Hardware RAID Card
4
Press and hold down the system identifier button for at least 2 seconds until all lights in
the top row are on, and then release the button.
The system begins starting up from the CD.
Note:
If Open Firmware Security is turned on for your system, you cannot start up
using the buttons in front panel mode. If this is the case, the two rows of lights on the
front panel flash twice when you try to enter a boot command with the system
identifier button. The system then resumes its normal startup sequence.
Configuring a RAID Volume
You can use the megaraid command-line tool to manage the hardware RAID card and
configure a RAID volume. Megaraid is provided on the Mac OS X Server Install CD 1.
You must configure the RAID card to provide at least one volume before you can install
Mac OS X Server on the system and start up from the RAID card. You can execute
megaraid commands in one of two ways:
•
If your server has a monitor and keyboard connected,
choose Install > Open Terminal
from the Installer menu bar. With Terminal open, you can run megaraid commands to
configure the card.
•
If your server doesn’t have a monitor or keyboard (headless),
you can go to another
system and use
ssh
to access the server.
From another Mac OS X or Mac OS X Server system on the same network subnet,
address of the server you want to access).
Or, choose Go > Connect To Server from the menu bar and select “ssh”. Enter Root for
the user name, and for the password, enter the first 8 digits of the serial number of
the Xserve.
Finding the Server IP Address
If you don't know the IP address and the remote server is on the local subnet, you can
use the
sa_srchr
command to identify all computers on the local subnet:
/System/Library/serversetup/sa_srchr 224.0.0.1
Admin Tools must be installed on your system to use the
sa_srchr command.
You can also use Server Assistant to see information about the computers on the local
subnet. Open Server Assistant, select “Install software on a remote computer”, and click
Continue to access the Destination pane and generate the information.
