• Issue We can not install Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 on our Cisco UCS-C220M3 servers. The Firmware versions reported by UCS Manager are CIMC: 1.5(1f) BIOS: C220M3.1.5.1g.0.40 Our servers use the OnBoard RAID-Controller with the SAS-SCU upgrade module. We are using a kickstart file for Red Hat. I've also downloaded the 'ucs-cxxx-drivers-1.5.3.iso' driver disc from cisco.com. From there I took the '/Linux/Storage/Intel/ICH10R/RHEL/RHEL6.5/megasr.0414-1-rhel6-ga-x86_64.img' driver disk. I'm using the KVM console and I've attached the kickstart-floppy as floppy, the driver disk as removeable device and the Redhat 6.4 x86_64 DVD image as DVD. I'm loading the driver disk and the kickstart file, which works well.

However upon partitioning I get an error message and setup aborts: Could not allocate requested partitions: unable to allocate alligned partition. Press 'OK' to exit the insteller. Environment • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.4 • Cisco UCS-C200M3 Server.

I've been given a CISCO ucs server to use (for a job a raspberry pie could do) with a LSI MegaRaid card in it (4 sas drives) and I'm having no luck at all getting Linux to boot off the RAID thing. It can find no boot sector on the raid devices, just loops through the nics looking for a pxi raid. I can install happily (both Ubuntu and CentOS) but nothing will boot.

The BIOS sees the virtual drive (tried raid 1 and raid 5 on the card). The server has an SSD slot and an internal USB connector, both of which are enabled in the bios, but neither are seen by the installer (nor the bios by the looks of things). Working The Plate The Art Of Food Presentation Pdf.

Canadian Forces Pipe Band Manual. The internal USB connector seems to corrupt the data. I get no post and crazy stuff on the monitor when I plug anything in there. I have now managed to get it to boot by putting the usb drive in the rear usb connector, installing /boot on it and setting it as the boot device.

Not ideal, but guess it will have to work. Carvaka Epistemology Pdf. Any one managed to get one of these machines to work with Linux?
