Acoustic Fields And Waves In Solids Pdf Download. Using our Mirror To help our clients install Windows or VMware ESXi we provide a number of images of those Operating Systems. The images we offer can be found on two of our mirrors: • is accessible from anywhere, and requires a username and password to login. These details can be found at the end of the server activation email, the email in which the login details for the server itself are also found. • is only accessible from the Hetzner network, and does not require a password. The following examples use the internal mirror, though a link to the external mirror is also mentioned.

This link can be used to check the exact file names of the Operating System images. Windows The Windows images we have can be found under. These Windows images are straight from Microsoft and don't include any changes from us. They do not come with a license, and can thus be used to install a clean Windows on the server, which can then be activated with your own license key. • The Image File with Path name can be copied directly from our mirror. • The User Name and Password fields can be left blank as they are not needed. VMware ESXi The VMware images we have can be found under The VMware images can be mounted in the same way as the Windows images (as shown above).

• The Share Name needs to be 'vmware'. • The Image File without the Path name can be used directly. • The User Name and Password fields can be left blank as they are not needed. Using the Backup Space Our backup space is reachable via SAMBA/CIFs, meaning it can be used to host an image which can then be mounted via a KVM Console.

• is the username of your backup space, which can be found under the 'Backup' tab of the server in Robot. • is the file name of the ISO file. • If you have placed the ISO file in a sub-folder then please specify that before the file name. For example: /.

• The password is the one you have set for the backup space. Using your own host The ISO file doesn't have to be hosted by us. You can host the ISO file wherever you want, as long as it is reachable via SAMBA/CIFS. This could be from another server at Hetzner, a third-party server or even from your own computer/server at your office/home. Please note that doing so can take a long time, so please be patient as the image is mounted/uploaded. Using a USB stick/DVD If the options mentioned above for mounting an ISO file don't work or take too long, then there is always the possibility of having our technicians 'burn' the image onto a USB stick or DVD and attaching that to the server along with the KVM Console. Please send our technicians a link to the ISO file you have.

This can be done when ordering the KVM Console directly, or afterwards by replying to the KVM Console request ticket. Please note that in this case the ISO file does not necessarily have to be reachable via SAMBA/CIFS, it can simply be reachable via ftp for example, since our technicians will be connecting to it directly, and not via the KVM Console. Booting the Server Once the ISO file has been mounted/attached to the KVM Console, you will need to restart the server and boot from it. This can be done via the 'KVM Console' function of the KVM Console.

When booting the server, please enter the boot menu. On most motherboards this can be done by pressing F11 during boot.

Please note that some motherboards require a different function key, like F6, to enter the boot menu, so please keep an eye out for the appropriate prompt.

Installing the OS Now you can simply follow the on-screen instructions to install the OS you have mounted/attached to the KVM Console. Loading the installation files for Windows takes around a minute when done via USB/DVD but can take 10-15 minutes via a mounted ISO file (via our mirror).

If the ISO file has been mounted from somewhere else then it can take even longer.

This document describes the installation of a debian linux system on a hetzner server. Before you start you should think about how the server configuration should look like: • Which hostname should be used • What partitions do you need You should have got an email with the ip address and a root password for the server. The basic installation of the server is done by the installimage script provided by Hetzner.

The script can be used either with automatic or manual configuration. Preparation Boot Server in Rescue mode. If the server finished booting, use putty (or ssh on linux systems) to login to the server with the given IP and password.

Configuration When using automatic configuration, all configuration options for the installimage script are provides as command line arguments. The installation will start immediately without further interaction. MDM Nodes The following command will install the server with the following configuration: • RAID 1 (mirroring) • LVM • Following partition schema • Swap swap 32G • / ext4 50G • /boot ext2 512M • /opt ext4 500G • /var ext4 500G Copy and paste the following command (change the bold text to the desired host name). Copy Code installimage -a -n level365-mdm1 -r yes -l 1 -i /root/.oldroot/nfs/images/Debian-75-wheezy-64-minimal.tar.gz -p /boot:ext2:512M,lvm:vg0:all -v vg0:root:/:ext4:50G,vg0:swap:swap:swap:32G,vg0:opt:/opt:ext4:500G,vg0: var:/ var:ext4:500G BDM Nodes Maximum Space (RAID 0) The following command will install the server with the following configuration: • RAID 0 (striping!) • LVM • Following partition schema • Swap swap 32G • / ext4 50G • /boot ext2 512M • /opt ext4 250G • /data ext4 1000G Copy and paste the following command (change the bold text to the desired host name).

Type in: installimage Choose operating system In the first dialog choose “Debian” In the second dialog choose “Debian-70-wheezy-64-minimal” the part “70-wheezy” is the Debian version and may change in the future Now an editor will show up where the installation configuration can be customized. An editor window will open, modify the contents that only the following entries are enabled (make sure all other entries are commented out). Adapt the bold entries to fit the needs.
