A) Red Hat Linux 7.3 installation using the Recovery Image
Introduction
ACER provides on the ASC 4.0 Express cdrom, a Norton Ghost image to restore
the Linux 7.3 operating systems necessary to install later ASC 4.0 server on the
ACER Altos NAS 700 Appliance. ACER recommends our solution partners to use
this image to install the Linux Operating system.
The file can be found in the IMAGE folder of the cdrom and is called:
"linux.GHO".
Supported platform
Altos Server G710 (with LSI MegaRAID 320-1/320-2 SCSI RAID Controller)
ACER Recommends to use two 36GB hard drives as a RAID-1
Monitor supporting a resolution of 1024*768
How to restore the image
Create a LUN (size is 8000 MB) under MegaRAID BIOS with the initialization
done.
Boot from ASC 4.0 CD.
Type “cd image”
Type “ghostro.exe" to launch the ACER Backup Tool.
Select "Local", "Disk", "From Image",
Then select the file "LINUX.GHO".
In the Destination Drive Details, make sure the New Size for Part 1 & 2 should
be the same as those in Old Size (Part 3 could be different).
Then press "Yes" to proceed with disk restore.
Important Notes:
When you reboot the server Linux starts the Hardware Configuration Utility
called KUDZU. It will detect the Hardware configuration of your server and will
install the correct drivers for them. You might see messages where it says that a
device is being removed etc but this is because of a change in the configuration
between the ALTOS G710 server used to create the image and your
configuration.
