5.3Defining the Hard Disk Partitions


The partitioning proposed by the Linux setup during the installation cannot be used for the subsequent installation of OpenScape Office HX / LX. Consequently, this must be adapted in accordance with the guidelines for OpenScape Office.

5.3.1 Partitioning without a Software RAID


The following example is based on the assumption that only one hard disk is installed and connected in the server PC and that it meets the minimum requirements.
Hard disk 1

Partition 1

Primary Partition

Partition 2

Ext 3

Partition 3

Primary Partition

Max. size

Ext3

/home

Partition 4

Logical Drive

Max. size

Ext3

No Mount Point specified

Note

Some server PCs require an additional boot partition. If Linux suggests a boot partition during the installation, it should be accepted in the proposed size.


5.3.2Partitioning with a Software RAID


In the example below, it is assumed that there are two hard disks in the server PC that are to be configured in a RAID 1 array, and that each of these disks meets the minimum requirements for the disk size.
Note:

The setup of the software RAID system itself occurs in the SLES installation routine within the context of the hard disk partitioning.

The mount points of the partitions in the Linux file system are assigned only when setting up the RAID system.

Partition 2: Mount point: /

Partition 3: Mount point: /home

Partition 4: Mount point: can be selected arbitrarily



Note:

Some server PCs require an additional boot partition. If Linux suggests a boot partition during the installation, it should be accepted in the proposed size for both hard disks.


5.4Creating an IP Address Scheme


When setting up the operating system, you will be prompted to enter some information regarding the network configuration. In order to be able to enter this data, a network map and an IP address scheme containing all the relevant IP network data and the resources used (server PC or client PC, IP phones, etc.) must be created before the actual network configuration.

5.4.1Data from the Local Network


The following parameters must be determined for the local network of the customer or coordinated with the local network administrator. The parameters shown in bold below are the minimum inputs required for the network configuration during the Linux installation:

Parameters

Value

Is there a DHCP server on the network?

Yes / No

Is the DHCP server in active use?

Yes / No

IP address range of the local network

From IP address to IP address

DHCP address range

From IP address to IP address

Subnet mask of the network or network segment

Subnet mask

Fixed IP address for the Linux server
(This address must be outside the DHCP range)


IP address

Fixed IP address of the telephony server
(HP 3K or OSO LX)
(These addresses must be outside the DHCP range)

IP address

Other servers with fixed IP addresses
e.g., E-mail Server, Print Server, File Server, Domain Server, etc.)
(These addresses must be outside the DHCP range)

IP addresses

Clients with a fixed IP address
(These addresses must be outside the DHCP range)

From IP address to IP address

Is there a DNS server on the network (optional)?

Yes / No

IP address of the Domain Server (optional)
(These addresses must be outside the DHCP range)

IP address

Domain name when using a DNS in the network (optional)

Domain name

OSO PC server name
(The name can be freely selected, but should be coordinated with the network administrator.)


Server name


5.4.2Optional Parameters to be Specified


The following parameters are not directly required for the Linux network administration, but may be needed for the subsequent OSO HX / LX operation and should therefore be requested from the customer or the local network administrator together with the network parameters.

5.4.2.1Internet Access


Internet access is typically used by Linux or OpenScape Office for:

  • Linux software updates

  • OpenScape Office software updates

  • OpenScape Office features

    • VoIP

    • Integration of myPortal for mobile users

    • etc.

  • Remote Service (SSDP)

If the functions mentioned above are not needed or wanted, it is also possible, in principle, to operate without setting up any Internet access.

It must be agreed with the customer whether or not Internet access should be enabled for the OpenScape Office server and how such access from the Internet to the server is secured or to be secured.

Parameters

Value

Determine IP address of Internet router

IP address

Access data of the Internet Provider (optional)

IP address, URL, login details

Internet domain name (optional)

Domain name of the customer






5.4.2.2E-mail Server (Optional)


Access to an e-mail server is required by OpenScape Office in order to retrieve and send e-mails. Appropriate accounts must be set up in the e-mail server for this purpose, and the access data for the e-mail server being used must be configured in OpenScape Office.

If the e-mail features within OpenScape Office are not to be used, this information need not be collected.



Parameters

Value

Address of e-mail server in the customer network (optional)

IP address

E-mail server at the service provider (optional)

IP address, URL

Access data and account information for the e-mail server or service provider)

Login details






5.4.2.3Internet Telephony (Optional)


Access to a VoIP service provider is required by OpenScape Office MX / LX for telephony using Internet access. Appropriate accounts must be applied for and set up with the VoIP service provider for this purpose, and the access data for the VoIP service provider being used must be configured in OpenScape Office.

If the VoIP features of OpenScape Office MX / LX are not to be used, this information need not be collected.



Parameters

Value

Internet Telephony Service Provider

IP address, URL

Determine access data for Service Provider

Login details






5.4.3IP Address Scheme of a Sample Network


The following is a sample network with appropriate dummy data. The actual customer network should be documented analogously before the Linux / OpenScape Office installation.
