Alternative methods include: • Press F12 during POST to boot to PXE. • If the HP Server Management Drivers and Agents (hpasm) are loaded on the server being reprovisioned, set the server to a one-time PXE boot by typing: /sbin/bootcfg -P This setting allows for changes in the boot process without updating the BIOS or the need to press F12. Note For bootcfg usage information, refer to the "Troubleshooting" section. Troubleshooting This section contains usage information, potential issues, and additional configuration steps to aid in troubleshooting.
