2 In the Dell PowerEdge SC1435 servers delivered July 2008,
3 there are several BIOS settings that need to be frobbed on setup.
5 in the setup screen at F2:
6 - CPU -> Virtualization Technology: on
7 - Boot Sequence: disable NIC
8 - Integrated Devices -> Embedded Gb NIC: turn off PXE
10 in the setup screen for remote management, at Ctrl-E:
11 - IP is (main IP) =~ s/18.181.0/10.5.128/
12 e.g. 10.5.128.221 for citadel-station == 18.181.0.221
13 - netmask is 255.255.0.0
15 These settings are reflected in the basic screen of xvm-host-2 and the
16 remote-management screen of xvm-host-1. At time of writing, the basic
17 settings on xvm-host-1 may differ, and the remote-management settings
18 on xvm-host-2 are disabled. xvm-host-3 has IPMI-over-LAN enabled in
19 the Ctrl-E screen. xvm-host-4 remains unconfigured.
22 In the debian installer:
23 - 500M for /boot in raid1 of sda1, sdb1
24 - rest for LVM in raid1 of sda2, sdb2
27 - install a vanilla kernel, not xen;
28 will install xen hypervisor from backports in our later custom install.
