INSTALLING UBUNTU SERVER ON THE DELL

POWEREDGE C6220

Prerequisites

BIOS requirements

When installing Ubuntu Server 11.10 (64-bit), we used the default factory BIOS

setting for the server. Based on your workload requirements, BIOS settings may require

adjustment, but you should thoroughly test these changes prior to production

implementation.

Driver prerequisites

In our lab installation, we used a Dell PowerEdge C6220 with the Intel C600

chipset, which supports onboard SATA storage. Ubuntu Server installs and runs without

extra hardware drivers or software modules on the Dell PowerEdge C6220.

Installation

Deployment options

We recognize in mass deployment situations there are various options for OS

deployment including Preboot eXecution Environment (PXE) or orchestration tools such

as Puppet. For this guide, however, we wish to prepare our “gold image” for Ubuntu

Server on a single Dell PowerEdge C6220 server node. To do this, we used its embedded

baseboard management controller (BMC) console and virtual installation media.

Storage configuration

The Dell PowerEdge C6220 can use several storage controllers to guard against

disk failures. For this guide, we assume that we wish to change the disk configuration

from the factory installation. In our lab installation, we used a Dell PowerEdge C6220

with six internal disks and no hardware RAID controller – the so-called JBOD

configuration. We use software raid built into the Linux distribution to provide

protection against disk failure.

Installing the operating system

1. Using the BMC, assign the Ubuntu-11.10-server-amd64 installation DVD to

the node and start the server.
