Notes for Red Hat Enterprise Linux Operating Systems
At least 14.1 GB disk space is required to install Red Hat Enterprise Linux.
If you use the Download RPMs from Network feature, the RPMs are downloaded to the partition called /home. The
recommended size for this partition is 3 GB plus the size of the RPMs you want to update. All downloaded RPMs are installed
during the post-install phase of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installer.
Entering a double quote character (") in the Root Password field of the Red Hat Enterprise Linux installation will result in
denial of access to the root log in.
SBUU limits the maximum block device size on a Linux system to 8 TB.
A network download of RPMs requires that the target system have a DHCP IP address and that the system is connected to a
network.
After selecting languages using Select Language option like Chinese, in SBUU for installing a Red Hat Linux operation system,
the user has to change run level using init 5 command instead of startx for applying the selected language.
Notes on Preparing Linux OS Installation Media
SBUU performs a media check on the Linux operating system media that is provided during installation. This is to ensure
that you do not copy damaged media that will cause your operating system installation to fail. This is a default action
performed by SBUU and you cannot disable it.
It is recommended that you use the optical media obtained from the operating system vendor to install Red Hat Enterprise
Linux or SUSE Linux operating systems using SBUU. If it is necessary to burn the media using optical drive burning software,
ensure that you:
• Obtain the ISO image file of the media from known sources.
• Try burning the media at slower speeds.
• Use the "Disk at Once" or a similar option.
• Close the session.
Notes for VMware ESX
For details on the hardware support and ESX build number, see www.dell.com/vmware on the Dell Support website at
support.dell.com. Also, see the Dell OpenManage Server Administrator Compatibility Guide and the Dell Systems Software
Support Matrix.
On a system with inbuilt SD card slot, if ESXi Installer and recovery OS is supported, it is shown in the operating system list
for all controllers, independent of whether the SD card is enabled or disabled in the BIOS.
DVD/CD media used for ESXi HDD(5.0) and ESXi Flash(5.0) would be the same.
Notes on Dell Utility Partition Installation
Utility Partition will not be created if the system on which you are trying to install does not support a Utility Partition.
