6.0 Limitations
There are two versions of IBM ServerGuide available from the WEB:
o IBM ServerGuide Setup and Installation i386
The supported systems for both versions of IBM ServerGuide are listed in
section 4 of this readme.
NOTE: These directions are written for RSAII/AMM/MM. Steps to install via
recently updated AMMs and iMMs may differ slightly.
1 Install Java(TM) Plug-in and disable cache for Web Browser Java plug-in
to enable remote console to work.
2 Connect to the RSAII,MM,or AMM Web Management Interface (via Web browser)
3 Click on Task "Remote Control"
4 Start Remote Control, it will open second Web Browser Window

6.0 LIMITATIONS
----------------
The following limitations are applicable to this version of IBM
ServerGuide:
To install any Windows Server 2003 64-bit version with Service Pack 2
to SATA drive(s) connected to SAS HBA part number 25R8060 on a System x3455,
the planar SATA controller must be disabled in the BIOS. Likewise, to
install one of these Operating Systems on System x3655 the onboard SATA
controller must be disabled. To do this:
After the OS is installed, you may reenable the SATA controller, but
in order for it to work you will need to install the drivers found in
the C:\drv\SATA directory.
The Windows 2008 unattended install process does not properly set the
keyboard type to the Japanese (106/109 key) keyboard type, even if it
was selected in the Windows 2008 install screen.
and use the browser button to navigate to the unzipped driver directory.
8) The correct subdirectory will either be win2k3\x64 or win2k3\x86 depending
on if you are running a 64-bit or 32-bit version of Windows respectively.
9) After you have selected the correct driver directory then continue to s
elect next to navigate through the rest of the Hardware Update Wizard.
o ServerGuide does not support the use of the following iSCSI Server Adapter
(73P3601).
o The Brocade 8Gb Single and Dual Port fibre adapters (46M6049 and 46M6050) are
only
supported as data drives. OS installations through these adapters are not
supported.
o A yellow exclamation mark may be present on a "Memory Module" in the Device
Manager
after installing Windows Server 2008 when using the maximum amount of memory
supported
with that version of Windows. This occurs as a result of memory mapped devices.
Refer to the Cause section of http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929605 for more
information.
Despite the warning, the device is still functioning properly.
o When performing a Windows 2008 installation, the "Where do you want to install
Windows?"
screen may appear during the Windows Setup portion of the installation. Press
"Next" on
this screen to continue with the installation since ServerGuide has already
formatted
and partitioned the drives. Performing any formatting or partitioning at this
screen
could cause the OS installation to fail.
o 3GB SAS expander kit may cause "IBM ESXS SAS EXP BP SCSI Enclosure Device" to
show up
in Windows Server 2003 Device Manager with a yellow question mark if the
firmware
is lower than revision 0.58. Please run the latest UXSP for your system, or at
minimum
install the firmware found at the following link so the expansion adapter shows
properly
in Device Manager: https://www-
947.ibm.com/systems/support/supportsite.wss/docdisplay?lndocid=MIGR-
5079655&brandind=5000008
o Installing Windows Server 2003 to a system with a fibre adapter installed fails.
When installing with the iSCSI adapter present but not intended as the boot
device, the hotfix can be run after the Windows installation to allow the
device driver to start, and remove the yellow exclamation marks in device
manager. If the Windows installation will be done to storage connected to
the 49Y4220 or 42C1780, the hotfix must be slipstreamed into your OS files
or the installation will not complete. Please refer to the following
knowledge base article for slipstream help:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/814847
To grant the "Everyone" group the same permissions as a retail install, perform
the following steps:
1) Open Windows Explorer, right click on the C:\ drive, and select "Properties"
from the drop down menu
2) Select the "Security" tab in the "Properties" window and click the "Add..."
button
3) In the field to enter the object name enter "Everyone" and click OK
4) Click the "Advanced" button on the "Security" tab in the "Properties" window
5) In the "Advanced Security Settings" window, select the "Everyone" group and
click the "Edit..." button
6) In the "Permission Entry" window select the option "This folder only" in the
drop down menu for the "Apply onto" field
7) Click the "OK" button in each window to apply the new security settings
o ServerGuide may present a message stating that there was an internal error with
"savestat /reset" on
some uEFI systems with older uEFI versions. To prevent this, make sure your uEFI
levels are updated to
the latest version. If the error is displayed on the last screen of ServerGuide
before the reboot into
the unattended portion of the OS installation, it will not have any adverse
effects on the completion
of the OS installation.
o When using ServerGuide to perform RAID configuration, a best practice is to
ensure that all the disks connected
to the RAID controller are the same size.
o While performing a Windows installation you might encounter the following error
message:
"Windows cannot locate the disk and partition specified in the unattend answer
file's <ImageInstall> setting".
This error can occur for different reasons including the installation drive
having previously been formatted as a
GPT drive or having a different OS previously installed on the system.
To resolve this issue, first restart the system and retry the Windows
installation.
If this does not resolve the issue then delete all partitions and formatting on
the drives in the system and retry the Windows installation.
If this does not resolve the issue, and the system has multiple storage adapters,
