Figure 2-2 Configuring virtual media using the iLO 3 interface
When the EFI Shell starts at the target server, a virtual file system is available with the SSTK boot
files. You can add a new boot entry using the EFI Boot Manager.
Creating a Bootable USB flash device
To create a bootable USB flash device, use the
xcopy
command to copy the appropriate files
from your workstation to the USB flash device. For example:
xcopy winpe\iso\*.* /s /e /f f:\
Where:
winpe\iso
The folder created by the
mkbootimg.cmd
script.
f:
The letter of your USB flash device.
Setting up a network boot environment
The following sections show how to set up a network boot environment for SSTK using the
Windows Deployment Sever (WDS) for Windows Server 2003 SP2.
NOTE:
For mid-range and high-end systems, you must manually set the ACPI mode in the EFI
Shell prior to booting for the first time to WinPE.
Figure 2-3
shows an environment where SSTK is configured in an isolated network with the
following machines:
•
A gateway configured as VPN server
•
A Proliant DL380 or any compatible x86 system configured as Primary Domain Controller,
DHCP server, and host of the SSTK repository
•
A target server connected to the SSTK network
