Introduction
This chapter contains the following topics:
About installing the operating system software, Foundation Software, and optional features on
page 5
About installing the operating system software,
Foundation Software, and optional features
This guide explains how to install the operating system and Foundation Software on an HPE Integrity
MC990 X Server system. You can install the OS and Foundation Software to meet site requirements on a
new system or you can reinstall these in the event of a disaster or a system failure.
HPE Integrity MC990 X Server supports the following operating systems on the MC990 X server chassis:
• RHEL 7.1, 6.7, 6.6
• SLES 12 SP1, 11 SP4, 11 SP3
• Oracle Linux 7.1 or 7.2
• VMware vSphere 6.5
After the OS and Foundation Software are installed on your MC990 X server chassis, you can configure
Foundation Software according to your site needs. For information about Foundation Software
components and features, see the HPE Integrity MC990 X Server User Guide.
NOTE:
HPE recommends that you install new Foundation Software packages as they become available.
HPE requires you to install the Foundation Software on each Integrity MC990 X system. You can install
the Foundation Software on the MC990 X server chassis after you install the operating system software.
Introduction 5
Integrity MC990 X system software installation
HPE installs operating system software, the Foundation Software, and any additional customer-
purchased software after the Integrity MC990 X system hardware is installed at the customer site. The
operating system can be one of the following:
• RHEL 7.1, 6.7, 6.6
• SLES 12 SP1, 11 SP4, 11 SP3
• Oracle Linux 7.1 or 7.2
• VMware vSphere 6.5
If your site practices require you to reinstall the software, or if a disaster occurs at your site, you can use
the procedures in this guide to reinstall all the factory-installed software. The procedures in this guide
assume the following:
• You are familiar with Linux operating systems, and are familiar with the operating system software
update process. The installation instructions describe how to register the operating system installation
with the operating system software provider to ensure automatic updates. This guide assumes that
your site wants to use the automatic updates. As an alternative, you can use physical media to apply
updates.
• You want to reinstall the factory-installed software on the MC990 X server chassis.
• Your Integrity MC990 X system is cabled correctly and attached to the network in accordance with
your site practices.
There is a specific order in which you need to install software on an Integrity MC990 X system. This order
is as follows:
1. Operating system software, which can be RHEL 7, RHEL 6, SLES 12, SLES 11, VMware vSphere 6.5,
or Oracle Linux 7.
2. Foundation Software
Gathering installation materials and information
Gathering needed information in advance for the MC990 X server operating system installation session
will help you complete the installation more quickly.
Procedure
1. Verify your environment.
Integrity MC990 X system installations require you to have physical access to the MC990 X server
chassis and the RMC.
Depending on your hardware, you might need additional equipment or specific network connections.
Make sure that you have access to the RMC and the DVD drive that is included on the server.
2. Locate the software DVDs or CDs that are provided by HPE, or download and create DVDs or CDs.
This guide assumes that you have DVDs of the operating system and CDs of the software.
You can obtain the operating system software in one of the following ways:
6 Integrity MC990 X system software installation
• In a media kit from HPE. HPE distributes DVD copies of the operating system releases.
• As a software download. You can download the OS releases from the Red Hat, SUSE, or Oracle
websites and write the software to a DVD.
You can obtain the Foundation Software from the HPE customer support center. To download the
software, complete the following steps:
a. In a browser window, navigate to the following URL:
www.hpe.com/support/hpesc
b. Select the system (MC990 X) and the OS.
c. View or download the software release notes.
d. Download the software bundle(s) that you need. If you install the OS, also plan to install the
Foundation Software. The HPE support center prompts you for your username and password.
e. Write the ISO file to a CD or DVD.
The instructions in this guide assume that you have hard media. Some procedures explain how to
access the release software if you want to install from a network-resident ISO image, but the
instructions are not comprehensive. If you downloaded the ISO images to a local network but do
not want to copy them to hard media, plan to use your network tools to access the software when
the procedures instruct you to insert a DVD or CD.
3. Plan the order in which to install the software.
Install the OS software first, then install the Foundation Software on the MC990 X server chassis.
4. Gather the information that the installer requires.
The installation requires you to provide information about passwords, your public (or house) network,
and so on. You can complete the installation more quickly if you gather this information before you
begin. Obtain the system configuration information that was used when the Integrity MC990 X system
was originally configured. The following list shows the information you need to collect:
• MC990 X server FQDN __________________________________
• MC990 X server hostname __________________________________
• MC990 X server IP address __________________________________
• MC990 X server subnet mask __________________________________
• Site DNS server IP addresses __________________________________
• Site search domain __________________________________
• Password for the MC990 X server system administrator (root user) login
__________________________________
• FQDN of your site network time protocol (NTP) server __________________________________
• IP address of your primary name server ____________________________
• IP address of your secondary name server ____________________________
• RMC FQDN ________________________________
• For RHEL installations, do the following:

◦ Verify your site Red Hat Networks (RHN) registration status and your Customer Center
registration status.
◦ Obtain your RHN login.
◦ Obtain your RHN password.
• For SLES installations, do the following:
◦ Determine the email address you want to use when you register with the SUSE Customer
Center.
◦ (Optional) Obtain the activation code for SLES components.
◦ (Optional) Determine the system name or description.
5. Familiarize yourself with the hardware components in the rack.
Identify the base server chassis in the rack and the DVD drive on the chassis. Figure 1: MC990 X
server chassis on page 8 shows the location of the DVD drive, along with other components and
ports, on the MC990 X server chassis.

6. Proceed to one of the following:
8Integrity MC990 X system software installation
• (Optional) To set an administrative password for the local console, proceed to (Optional) Setting
or changing an administrative password on the system console on page 9.
HPE does not require that you set an administrative password, but you can do so if you are logged
into a direct-attached, local console. After you set this password, you can proceed with the software
installation.
• To install the operating system and Foundation Software on an MC990 X server, proceed to
Creating an installation environment on page 11/
(Optional) Setting or changing an administrative password
on the system console
The procedure in this topic explains how to set, or change, an administrative password on the console
attached to an Integrity MC990 X system. A password is not required.
To delete a console password, enter the following command, which clears the EFI variables:
RMC> power -c reset
If you delete the password with the power -c reset command, you need to go back through the setup
screens to set it again.
To set or change an administrative password on the console:
Procedure
1. log in to the Integrity MC990 X system as the root user.
2. (Conditional) Shut down the system.
Complete this step if the system is running at this time.
Enter the following command:
# shutdown now
3. log in to the RMC as the root user.
4. From the RMC, enter the following command to reset the power:
RMC> power -s reset
5. Wait for the reset to complete and enter the following command to start a console session on the
base I/O BMC:
RMC> uvcon
