1 Introduction
This document contains the basic information when installing Linux™ Distribution Extensions with SUSE (LDEwS). It also contains information about partition the disks, the third-party software, and, the Ericsson Dynamic Activation (EDA) installation on GEP3, or GEP5 blades. By using this document, readers are able to get necessary information about the parameters used in the installation.
1.1 Target Groups
The target groups for this document are as follows:
- Network Administrator
- System Administrators
- System Integrator
- Technicians who perform hardware installation and the first power-on
Basic knowledge about Linux and general information about Dynamic Activation is needed for installation of the software.
1.2 Typographic Conventions
Typographic conventions are described in the document Library Overview, Reference [2].
For information about abbreviations used throughout this document refer to Glossary of Terms and Acronyms, Reference [1].
1.2.1 Parameters
The parameters in this document can be of three types:
P - Predefined, not possible to change.
C - Customer configured after discussions with Ericsson.
S - Site-specific parameters. The site-specific parameters can be identified in Customer Questionnaire for Native Deployment, Reference [6].
