Installing an operating system

Before installing an operating system, make sure that the following prerequisites are met:
  • Optical DVD drive, or a virtual media (ISO image) is connected virtually to a server.
  • Software RAID or PowerEdge RAID controller is installed with the latest firmware, and at least two hard-disk drives are available for creating the virtual disk. For information about the supported controllers and related firmware, see the operating system documentation.
    • NOTE: You can install the operating system on media such as Dual SD or PCIe SSD. However, RAID configuration is not supported on these media.
  • For installing an operating system in an unattended mode, make sure that you copy the required configuration file ( autounattend.xml for Windows and ks.cfg for RHEL 7) to a USB or network share.
  • NOTE: PERC S110 and S130 controllers support only SATA disk drives for which a minimum of two hard-disk drives are required.

To install an operating system:

  1. Start Lifecycle Controller. For more information, see Starting Lifecycle Controller.
  2. In the left pane, click OS Deployment.
  3. In the right pane, click Deploy OS and select one of the following:
    • Configure RAID First — Click to configure a RAID connected to the server. For information about configuring a RAID, see Using the optional RAID configuration .
      • NOTE: Configuring RAID is optional if an already-connected virtual disk is present.
    • Go Directly to OS Deployment — Click to launch the operating system deployment wizard and start installing an operating system.
  4. On the Select an Operating System page, select the following and click Next:
    • Boot Mode — Choose either UEFI or BIOS boot mode depending on the boot configuration of the system for OS installation.
    • Secure Boot — Allows you to enable or disable the Secure Boot option. Click Enabled to secure the boot process by checking if the drivers are signed with an acceptable digital signature. This option is available only for the UEFI boot mode. For more information on Secure Boot, see UEFI Secure Boot.
      • NOTE: The Secure Boot option is available only if the Load Legacy Video Option ROM setting is set to disabled. To disable the Load Legacy Video Option ROM setting, click System Setup > System BIOS Settings > Miscellaneous Settings > Load Legacy Video Option ROM > Disabled.
    • Secure Boot Policy — Displays the current setting of the boot policy in the BIOS.
      • NOTE: You can change the Secure Boot Policy setting only in BIOS.
      • NOTE: The Secure Boot option is available on the 13th generation of PowerEdge servers, only if the BIOS of the system supports the feature. The Secure Boot option is not available on the 12th generation of PowerEdge servers.
    • Available Operating Systems — Displays the list of operating systems depending on the boot mode selected. Select the operating system to install on the server. The drivers packs for deploying the Windows and Linux operating systems supported by Lifecycle Controller are available and extracted to a local repository (OEMDRV). These driver packs contain the drivers required for installing an operating system.
      • NOTE: If you select VMware ESXi, Citrix XenServer, or select the Any Other Operating System option, make sure that you have prepared the necessary drivers for your system.  Drivers for VMware ESXi and Citrix XenServer are not included in the driver packs. See dell.com/support for more information on operating system installation images and drivers for these operating systems.
  5. On the Select Installation Mode page, select any one of the following:
    • Unattended Install
    • Manual Install
    • NOTE: The Unattended Install option is enabled only if the operating system is compatible for an unattended installation. If the operating system is not compatible, the option is grayed out. For more information on unattended install mode, see Unattended Installation.
    • NOTE: A detailed procedure for installing an operating system using the unattended installation mode is provided in the Unattended Installation of Operating Systems from Lifecycle Controller on Dell PowerEdge Servers white paper at delltechcenter.com/lc.
  6. On the Select Installation Mode page, select or enter the appropriate data to import the operating system configuration file and then click Next. For more information about the fields available on the Select Installation Mode page, see the online help by clicking Help in the upper-right corner of the Lifecycle Controller GUI.
  7. On the Insert OS Media page, insert the appropriate operating system media and click Next.

    Lifecycle Controller validates the media and displays an error message if the verification process is not successful. The verification may be unsuccessful if:

    • An incorrect operating system media is inserted.
    • An operating system media is damaged or corrupted.
    • The optical drive in the system cannot read the media.
  8. On the Reboot the System page, the summary of selections is displayed. Verify the selections and click Finish. The system reboots and starts the operating system installation. For more information on the post-reboot scenarios, see Post Reboot Scenarios.
