Problems with OSSIM installation and driver

You often encounter the problem of driver installation when deploying OSSIM systems, either the network card does not have a driver or the hard disk does not have a driver (deploying ESXi on the server will also encounter the problem of not identifying hardware devices). In fact, manual installation of drivers in Linux is a must. In "Unix/Linux Network Log Analysis and Traffic Monitoring Analysis", it is said that OSSIM platform is a set of Debian Linux-based system, but most servers of IBM,HP,DELL and other manufacturers do not support Debian Linux system very well, so the drivers of disk and network card usually load modules manually after installing the system.

How do I know if this machine can be installed with Debian before installation? There is a way, without dismantling the chassis and looking at the chips of the machine hardware, http://kmuto.jp/debian/hcl everyone can visit this website to get the hardware driver information.

Next, you need to go to the Debian official website wiki to continue the query, the address is https://wiki.debian.org/DeviceDatabase/PCI

Verify whether the PCI network card you have selected is supported by Debian, but it does not mean that the kernel supports it by default. If you do not know how to hit the network card module, check the kernel module / lib/modules/2.6.32-5-amd64/kernel/drivers/net/ to see if it is supported by default.

The network card that has passed the test:

Intel Corporation 82575EB Gigabit Network connection

Intel Corporation 82579V Gigabit Network Connection

Intel Corporation 82557/8/9/0/1 Ethernet Pro 100

RTL81088 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet connection

Realtek PCIe GBE Family Controller

Install the OSSIM instance on the IBM 3650 server

Many people have installed Windows on 3650. Let's recall that we first used the Serverguide CD and followed the instructions after booting. The work of installing the hard disk is carefully operated by yourself. Press the prompt and enter the Raid settings interface in a moment. Exit after setting up.

Remember, do not use a WebBios disk to install OSSIM on this type of machine, use your own WebBios, when you are done with Raid0, not Raid5, then prepare the driver (copy firmware-bnx2_0.33_all.deb to a USB drive), install the USB drive, and install the driver file.

Next time, I will share with you the installation of OSSIM on HP GL380 series servers and DELL PowerEdge.
