Hi, Guys!

Nice to meet you.

Today, I will share with you how to install Ubuntu 18.04/20.04 on Taishan servers.

OK, let's get to the point.


What we need to prepare

Ubuntu images: Please download the 18.04/20.04 ARM images from the official website.

https://certification.ubuntu.com/hardware/201812-26731

Sufficient disk space: Ensure that the space of the system root partition / is at least 150 GB


How to install Ubuntu

1. Configure the BIOS parameter.

If your Raid card is Avago SAS3408iMR or Avago SAS3416iMR, you need to disable the Support SPCR function.

Login to the BIOS, and choose Advanced -> MISC Config -> Support SPCR, we need to Disabled it.

spcr

2. Configure the RAID Card.

If you need to configure RAID, you need to configure it before installing the OS; if not, you will be not detected the driver when installing the OS.

For more details, please refer to the guide:

3. Mount the Ubuntu image to the virtual DVD driver. 

a. Login to the BMC of the server.

For how to do, please refer to https://support.huawei.com/enterprise/en/doc/EDOC1100121685/897d7845/login

The default username and password for logging into iBMC is Administrator and Admin@9000.

b. Click 'Virtual Console' -> 'HTML5 Integrated Remote Console'.

C. Mount the image file to the Virtual DVD driver.


mount the iso

4. Configure the boot from 'CD/DVD'

a. Login to the iBMC again.

b. Set the boot from 'CD/DVD'.

Click the System -> BIOS settings -> BOOT Device, we need to set the BOOT Medium to CD/DVD.

Please note that we need to Save it.

cd boot

Notes: We need to mount the image file, and then set the BOOT from CD/DVD on iBMC, never change the order.

5. Restart the Server.

You can click the restart on the Virtual console to restart the server.

If you are successful, you will see the screen.

install unbuntu items

6. Install Ubuntu as you want 

After you click the Install Ubuntu Server, the following screen will be displayed, and you just need to install it as prompted steps by steps. 

install ubuntu steps

7. Restart the Server after installation successfully

login TO Ubunt

If you can see the screen, you have installed it successfully.



How about it? Isn't it very simple?

In general, the key steps are steps 3 and 4. Pay attention to the sequence of these steps. That is, mount the image file first, and then set the boot from the CD/DVD.

Never mind, It is a virtual DVD driver in this case.
When you log in to the Virtual Console, you will see the virtual CD/DVD driver

Why do I not mention using a USB flash drive? Because TaiShan servers do not support Ubuntu installation using a USB flash drive.
