This guide applies to Fujitsu RX100 dedicated servers.
In this article, you will learn how to:
Connect KVM
The KVM application requires Java runtime.
Follow these steps to get the iRMC KVM Access application:
- Enter your server’s ip adress and port into the browser.
- On the login screen, enter the username and password from the service creation notification email.
- In the Console Redirection >> Video Redirection page, click the Start Video redirection button.
If the keyboard isn’t behaving correctly, go to Extras >> Virtual Keyboard… to open a graphic keyboard.
If your mouse doesn’t work correctly, go to Preferences >> Preferences… to set absolute (Windows) or relative (Linux) mouse positioning.
Boot from ISO
Once you open the KVM interface, boot from an ISO file by following these steps:
- Select Remote Storage >> Remote Storage…
- Choose the install medium:
- Select a device from the list on your computer (CD/DVD, USB, …) and click Connect. This will connect the device to the server.
- Click the Add… button and select the ISO file stored on the connected computer. After selecting the file, click the Connect button.
- Use the Ctrl-Alt-Del button to reboot the server.
- Press F12 to open the boot menu and select the disk.
For faster installation, we recommend connecting media of the netinstall type.
The CD/DVD is connected to the server until the KVM window is closed. Disconnect it by clicking the Disconnect button.
RAID Setup
The server has 2 physical hard disks.
The following instructions apply to servers with a hardware RAID controller. For servers without this controller, set up the RAID software.
Set up RAID with the HW controller during the startup sequence. Follow these steps:
- When you see the Press Ctrl-C to start LSI Corp Configuration Utility prompt, press Ctrl+C.
- Choose the controller and press Enter.
- Select RAID Properties.
- Add or set up the disks.
Choose the IM option when creating a RAID array. We do not recommend the Integrated Stripping option; it does offer a larger total capacity, but if one disk fails, you will lose all data.
You can also set one of the disks as a Hot Spare, which will automatically start synchronizing with a working disk when another disk fails. In the case of IM, you can keep existing data on one drive and synchronize the other with it.
