server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd server_args = -s /tftpboot disable = yes per_source = 11 cps = 100 2 } In this example, disabled is the default setting, and /tftpboot is the root directory for all client access. To enable the TFTP service on your server, edit the disable line to read: disable = no Populating the TFTP Directory Use the /tftpboot directory as the directory from which TFTP clients retrieve files. To populate the TFTP directory: 1. Create a /tftpboot directory, if needed. 2. Copy the necessary boot files to the /tftpboot directory: bootia64.efi (the boot loader file) elilo.efi (the Linux boot loader used for PXE boot) elilo.conf (the Linux boot loader configuration file) rootfs.gz (the Linux file system) linux (the Linux kernel) 3. Verify that the tftpboot directory contains the following items: /tftpboot/bootia64.efi /tftpboot/elilo.efi /tftpboot/elilo.conf /tftpboot/rootfs.gz /tftpboot/linux 4. Make sure the elilo.conf file is configured as described in Chapter 4 (page 33). Setting Up the HP Integrity Server for PXE-Enabled Boot Make sure the HP Integrity server has a PXE-compliant NIC and is physically connected to a configured DHCP server. Set the NIC as the default boot device or select it in the EFI Boot Manager Menu, as follows: 1. Boot the server to EFI. 2. Go to EFI Boot Manager menu. 3. Select Boot Configuration. 4. Select Add Boot Entry. 5. Select Load File [core LAN GB A], where A represents the NIC. 6. Enter a name for the boot entry, and click Save. Now "Core LAN GB A," or the name you used, is listed as an option in EFI Boot Manager menu. 7. Select this option in the boot menu, and press the Enter key. Here you have the option of using the Tab key to see the mounting options of the elilo.conf file.

server = /usr/sbin/in.tftpd
server_args = -s /tftpboot
disable = yes
per_source = 11
cps = 100 2
}
In this example,
disabled
is the default setting, and
/tftpboot
is the root directory for all
client access. To enable the TFTP service on your server, edit the disable line to read:
disable = no
Populating the TFTP Directory
Use the
/tftpboot
directory as the directory from which TFTP clients retrieve files. To populate
the TFTP directory:
1.
Create a
/tftpboot
directory, if needed.
2.
Copy the necessary boot files to the
/tftpboot
directory:
bootia64.efi
(the boot loader file)
elilo.efi
(the Linux boot loader used for PXE boot)
elilo.conf
(the Linux boot loader configuration file)
rootfs.gz
(the Linux file system)
linux
(the Linux kernel)
3.
Verify that the
tftpboot
directory contains the following items:
/tftpboot/bootia64.efi
/tftpboot/elilo.efi
/tftpboot/elilo.conf
/tftpboot/rootfs.gz
/tftpboot/linux
4.
Make sure the
elilo.conf
file is configured as described in
Chapter 4 (page 33)
.
Setting Up the HP Integrity Server for PXE-Enabled Boot
Make sure the HP Integrity server has a PXE-compliant NIC and is physically connected to a
configured DHCP server. Set the NIC as the default boot device or select it in the EFI Boot Manager
Menu, as follows:
1.
Boot the server to EFI.
2.
Go to EFI Boot Manager menu.
3.
Select
Boot Configuration
.
4.
Select
Add Boot Entry
.
5.
Select
Load File [core LAN GB
A
]
, where
A
represents the NIC.
6.
Enter a name for the boot entry, and click
Save
.
Now “Core LAN GB A,” or the name you used, is listed as an option in EFI Boot Manager
menu.
7.
Select this option in the boot menu, and press the
Enter
key. Here you have the option of
using the
Tab
key to see the mounting options of the
elilo.conf
file.
