5. Select one of the following options: • Enter readhwconfig to create a configuration file in the repository to save the hardware configuration of the Linux server in the repository, and then reboot the server. • Enter linux to execute the linux-setup.sh to install the Linux OS. • Enter bash to go to the bash prompt. At the bash prompt enter the dmesg command to determine the name of the SCSI device. Edit the linux-setup.sh script, and then reboot. NOTE: Some systems might not have an Internal Bootable DVD option in the EFI Boot Manager. In this case, you need to either add a boot option that allows you to boot from the DVD drive or enter the EFI shell and use the map -r command to find the DVD drive and execute \efi\boot\bootia64.efi. Using a USB Flash Device For HP Integrity servers to boot from a USB flash device, the boot loader and all other files needed to load the Linux image must be copied to the \efi\boot directory on the flash device. Creating a Bootable USB Flash Device To create a bootable USB flash device: 1. Insert the USB flash device and determine the name of the device. 2. Format the USB flash device with FAT file system: mkdosfs -I /dev/sda1 3. Create a directory and mount the USB flash device on this directory: mkdir -p /mntmount /dev/sda1 /mnt 4. Create the bootable directory for HP Integrity servers (/efi/boot): mkdir -p /mnt/efi/boot 5. Copy the boot files from the toolkit tar file to the /mnt/efi/boot directory: bootia64.efi elilo.conf (bootloader options) rootfs.gz (Linux file system) linux (Linux kernel) elilo.efi bootia64.conf 6. Unmount the USB device. umount /mnt Booting From a USB Flash Device 1. Insert USB flash device into an HP Integrity server. 2. From the EFI shell, enter map -r to refresh the USB device discovery. The USB device should be displayed with a file system. Using a USB Flash Device 41

Select one of the following options:
•
Enter
readhwconfig
to create a configuration file in the repository to save the hardware
configuration of the Linux server in the repository, and then reboot the server.
•
Enter
linux
to execute the
linux-setup.sh
to install the Linux OS.
•
Enter
bash
to go to the
bash
prompt. At the
bash
prompt enter the
dmesg
command
to determine the name of the SCSI device. Edit the
linux-setup.sh
script, and then
reboot.
NOTE:
Some systems might not have an Internal Bootable DVD option in the EFI Boot
Manager. In this case, you need to either add a boot option that allows you to boot from
the DVD drive or enter the EFI shell and use the
map -r
command to find the DVD
drive and execute
\efi\boot\bootia64.efi
.
Using a USB Flash Device
For HP Integrity servers to boot from a USB flash device, the boot loader and all other files needed
to load the Linux image must be copied to the
\efi\boot
directory on the flash device.
Creating a Bootable USB Flash Device
To create a bootable USB flash device:
1.
Insert the USB flash device and determine the name of the device.
2.
Format the USB flash device with FAT file system:
mkdosfs -I /dev/sda1
3.
Create a directory and mount the USB flash device on this directory:
mkdir
–
p /mntmount /dev/sda1 /mnt
4.
Create the bootable directory for HP Integrity servers (
/efi/boot
):
mkdir
–
p /mnt/efi/boot
5.
Copy the boot files from the toolkit tar file to the
/mnt/efi/boot
directory:
bootia64.efi
elilo.conf (bootloader options)
rootfs.gz (Linux file system)
linux (Linux kernel)
elilo.efi
bootia64.conf
6.
Unmount the USB device.
umount /mnt
Booting From a USB Flash Device
1.
Insert USB flash device into an HP Integrity server.
2.
From the EFI shell, enter
map
–
r
to refresh the USB device discovery. The USB device should
be displayed with a file system.
