Installing Ubuntu on IBM Power System LCservers with a USB deviceVersion 1.0.6IBM®Quick Start Guide for installing Linux on IBM Power System LCserversThis guide helps you install Ubuntu on a Linux on Power Systems LC ewUse this information to install Ubuntu on a non-virtualized or bare metal IBM Power System LC server. This procedurefollows these general steps:•••••Download the Ubuntu ISO fileCreate a bootable USB deviceConnect to the BMC firmware to set up network connectionConnect to the BMC firmware with IPMIInstall Ubuntu from USB deviceDownload your ISO files from the Ubuntu release website. Look for the PowerPC64 Little-Endian server install ted Ubuntu releases include:•••Ubuntu 18.04: /releases/18.04/release/Ubuntu 16.04: /releases/16.04/release/Ubuntu 14.04: /releases/14.04/release/For a list of supported distributions, see Supported Linux distributions and virtualization options for POWER8 and POWER9Linux on Power systems.1Step 1: Creating a bootable USB deviceUse one of the following USB devices:••USB attached DVD player with a single USB cable to stay under 1.0 Amps8 GB 2.0 USB flash driveTo create the bootable USB device, follow the instructions in the Ubuntu Community Help Wiki at /community/Installation/FromUSBStick2Step 2: Completing the prerequisites and booting your firmwareBefore you power on the system, ensure that you have the following items:•••••••••••Ethernet cableVGA monitor. The VGA resolution must be set to KeyboardPower cords and outlet for your or notebook that has IPMItool level 1.8.15 or greater. Find instructions to determine your level of IPMItooland how to update at the end of the le USB deviceIf your system belongs in a rack, install your system into that rack. For instructions, see IBM Power Systemsinformation at /support/knowledgecenter/.Connect an Ethernet cable to the embedded Ethernet port next to the serial port on the back of your t the other end to your t your VGA monitor to the VGA port on back of t your USB keyboard to an available USB portConnect the power cords to the system and plug them into the te these steps:At this point, your firmware is booting. Wait for the green LED on the power button to start flashing, indicating that itis ready to use. If your system does not have a green LED indicator light, then wait 1 to 2 minutes.

3Step 3: Configuring the IP addressTo set up or enable your network connection to the BMC firmware, use the Petitboot bootloader interface. Followthese steps: on your server using the power button on the front of your system. Your system will power on to thePetitboot bootloader menu. This process takes about 1 - 2 minutes to complete. Do not walk away from yoursystem! When Petitboot loads, your monitor will become active and you will need to push any key in order tointerrupt the boot the Petitboot bootloader main menu, select Exit to ipmitool lan print 1. If this command returns an IP address, verify that is correct and continue. Toset a static IP address, follow these steps: the mode to static by running this command: ipmitool lan set 1 ipsrc your IP address by running this command: ipmitool lan set 1 ipaddr ip_address whereip_address is the static IP address that you are assigning to this your netmask by running this command: ipmitool lan set 1 netmask netmask_address wherenetmask_address is the netmask for the your gateway server by running this command: ipmitool lan set 1 defgw ipaddrgateway_server where gateway_server is the gateway for this m the IP address by running the command ipmitool lan print 1 : This network interface is not active until after you perform the following reset your firmware, run the following command: ipmitool mc reset command must complete before continuing the process; however, it does not return any information. Toverify that this command has completed, ping your system BMC address (the same IP address used in yourIPMItool command). When the ping returns successfully, continue to the next : If your ping does not return successfully within a reasonable amount of time (2 - 3 minutes), try theseadditional steps: your system off with this command: ipmitool power the power cords from the back of the system. Wait 30 seconds and then apply power to boot BMC.

4Step 4: Powering on your server with IPMIIntelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI) is the default console to use when connecting to the the default values for IPMI:••••Default user: ADMINDefault password: adminThe system cooling fans are activated after approximately 30 seconds and begin to accelerate to power LED on the control panel stops flashing and remains on, indicating that system power is the system powers up, you might notice the following actions:Note: After your system powers on, the Petitboot interface loads. If you do not interrupt the boot process bypressing any key within 10 seconds, Petitboot automatically boots the first power on your server from a PC or notebook that is running Linux, follow these steps: a terminal program on your PC or power on your server, run the following command:ipmitool -I lanplus -H server_ip_address -P ipmi_password chassis power onwhere server_ip_ipaddress is the IP address of the Power system and ipmi_password is the password set up : If your system is already powered on, continue to active your IPMI te your IPMI console by running this command:ipmitool -I lanplus -H server_ip_address -P ipmi_password sol activateNote: Use your keyboard up arrow to display the previous ipmitool command. You can edit previous commandsto avoid typing the entire command again. If you need to power off or reboot your system, deactivate theconsole by running this command:ipmitool -I lanplus -H server_ip_address -P ipmi_password sol deactivateTo reboot the system, run this command:ipmitool -I lanplus -H server_ip_address -P ipmi_password chassis power reset5Step 5: Configuring PetitbootAfter the system powers on, the Petitboot bootloader scans local boot devices and network interfaces to find bootoptions that are available to the your bootable USB device into the front USB port. Petitboot displays the following option:Note: Select Rescan devices if the USB device does not appear. If your device is not detected, you may have totry a different the Petitboot main screen, select the Debian GNU/Linux installer boot option and then press Enter.

6Step 6: Completing your installationAfter you select to boot the Ubuntu installer, the installer wizard walks you through the the installation wizard for Ubuntu to set up disk options, your user name and password, time zones, andso on. The last step is to restart your : The Ubuntu installation process uses DHCP by default during installation. If you are not using DHCP, youneed to configure the network manually. Follow these steps: the Configuring the network with DHCP screen, click Configure your network your IP address and select your Netmask and select or confirm the gateway for your IP address and select .(Optional) Enter the Name server address and select a hostname for your system and select a mirror of the Ubuntu m the Ubuntu archive .(Optional) Enter HTTP proxy information and select : While your system is restarting, remove the USB the system restarts, Petitboot displays the option to boot the Ubuntu with Linux release number. Select thisoption and press :•Ubuntu 14.04.3 may not contain the latest version of IPMItool. To install the latest version, run the followingcommands:apt-get update

apt-get install ipmitool•In Ubuntu, the opal-prd (Processor Runtime Diagnostics) package that is required for runtime detection andhandling of Power processor errors on systems that are running OpenPower firmware is not installed by the following command to install this package:apt-get install opal-prd

7Step 7: Determine your level of IPMItoolIn order to connect to the Power server, you must be using IPMItool level 1.8.15 or greater on the PC or laptop thatyou are using to connect to the Power determine your current level of IPMItool, run the following command: ipmitool -V. If this command returns aversion earlier than 1.8.15, update your IPMItool version. Follow these steps:ad the IPMItool file: wget /projects/ipmitool/files/latest/download/2 . it by running these commands:bzip2 -d 2tar xvf ure it by running these commands:cd ipmitool-1.8.15./ it by running this command: l it by running this command: sudo make te the installation by checking the version again: ipmitool -VMore informationFor more information, see the following resources:••IBM Knowledge center at /support/knowledgecenter/The Linux on Power® developer portal at Linux on Power developer portal.
