    Creating a bootable media with the DCO ISO

    Creating a bootable USB key 

    DCO can be installed using a bootable USB key containing the DCO installation.

    On a Windows machine

    Warning

    We have experienced issues when creating the media using Windows 10, resulting in the media check failing before the installation is supposed to begin. If you need to use Windows when creating the installation media, we recommend that you use Windows 7.

    On Windows one way of creating a bootable USB key is using the free tool, Rufus.

    1. Download and install Rufus here: https://rufus.akeo.ie/

    2. Insert your USB key and run Rufus.

    3. In Device, select your USB key.

    4. Click the disk icon (see screenshot), and select the ISO file, then click Start.

    5. Select Write in DD Image mode, then click OK to replace all data on your USB key with the DCO installer files.

    6. Wait for the process to complete and click Close.

    7. Eject the USB key from Windows before removing the key (e.g. in Windows Explorer right-click the USB key, and select Eject).

    On a Mac machine

    Run the dd command as described below.

    1.  Insert your USB key and open Disk Utility on your Mac.

    2. Select your USB key, and find the USB device name (see screenshot).
    3. Open Terminal and navigate to the folder with the DCO ISO file (e.g. cd Downloads).
    4. Type sudo dd if=StruxureWareDataCenterOperationn-<version number>.iso of=/dev/<usb device name from step 2>
    5. Wait for dd to finish and remove the USB key.

    On a Linux machine

    Run the dd command as described below.

    1. Insert your USB key and open your favorite console program.
    2. Type dmesg and find the USB device name, such as sdb (see screenshot).
    3. Type sudo dd if=StruxureWareDataCenterOperationn-<version number>.iso of=/dev/<usb device name from step 2>
      Ensure you select the device as destination (e.g. /dev/sdb) corresponding to the USB key and not a partition (such as /dev/sdb1).
    4. Wait for dd to finish and remove the USB key.
