Get CentOS 7 on FUJITSU PRIMERGY RX300



I just got 8 retired FUJITSU  PRIMERGY RX300 with 196 Gb of RAM and 256GB SSD.

My Idea was run a MatLab Cluster on them,
for that I will use Ansible. info on how to install :
http://www.tecmint.com/install-and-configure-ansible-automation-tool-in-linux/

But first updates and the drivers...

Updates...
Just find your server and download the DVD : http://www.fujitsu.com/fts/support/
And boot from the iRMCA interface... "FUJITSU ServerView® iRMC S2 Web Server"

Then find the drivers and Repo...  from http://patches.ts.fujitsu.com/linux/pldp/

Looks like this on CentOS 7 ( edit : /etc/yum.repos.d/  )
# Save this file under /etc/yum.repos.d to enable the yum repository

Then just do :  yum update ; yum install prime*
