Chapter 2 HP NetServer Navigator For more information on installing and using HP NetServer Information Assistant, see Chapter 3. Configuration Assistant Configuration Assistant guides you through the steps necessary to configure the NetServer. Three methods of configuration are available: Express, Custom and Replicate. Express configuration is the preferred method to configure your HP NetServer since it leads you through the configuration process in sequence and offers you default selections. An Express configuration includes the following steps: • Update System BIOS: This step appears if Configuration Assistant detects that a newer version of the BIOS is available on the HP Navigator CD-ROM. You must update your BIOS to the new version if you want to continue in Express mode. • Select NOS: HP NetServer Navigator uses the NOS (Network Operating System) information to create the drivers diskette that you need to install your operating system and to create a file that contains the appropriate NOS installation and optimization instructions. The information may also be used to select the appropriate default configuration settings. • Execute EISA Configuration Utility: This step runs the EISA Configuration Utility (ECU) in automatic mode (if you are not installing ISA adapter boards) or manual mode (if you are installing ISA boards). Before and after running the ECU, Configuration Assistant will run Configuration Advisor to detect and notify you of any known problems with your current configuration. • Show Configured Boards: This step shows the boards configured by the ECU, including PCI boards, and allows you to make changes if necessary. • Configure Disk Array: If you have an installed HP disk array, you must configure it using your DAC configuration utility. • Install Utility Partition: This step creates an 8 MB utility partition on the server hard disk where HP NetServer Navigator will copy the EISA Configuration Utility (ECU), Diagnostic Assistant, BIOS Update Utility, system and accessory CFG and OVL files, Error Message Utility (EMU) and other utilities. This is not available for SCO UNIX. 8

Configuration Assistant
Configuration Assistant guides you through the steps necessary to configure
the NetServer. Three methods of configuration are available: Express, Custom
and Replicate.
Express configuration is the preferred method to configure your HP NetServer
since it leads you through the configuration process in sequence and offers you
default selections. An Express configuration includes the following steps:
•
Update System BIOS
: This step appears if Configuration Assistant
detects that a newer version of the BIOS is available on the HP Navigator
CD-ROM. You must update your BIOS to the new version if you want to
continue in Express mode.
•
Select NOS
: HP NetServer Navigator uses the NOS (Network Operating
System) information to create the drivers diskette that you need to install
your operating system and to create a file that contains the appropriate
NOS installation and optimization instructions.
The information may
also be used to select the appropriate default configuration settings.
•
Execute EISA Configuration Utility
: This step runs the EISA
Configuration Utility (ECU) in automatic mode (if you are not installing
ISA adapter boards) or manual mode (if you are installing ISA boards).
Before and after running the ECU, Configuration Assistant will run
Configuration Advisor to detect and notify you of any known problems
with your current configuration.
•
Show Configured Boards
: This step shows the boards configured by the
ECU, including PCI boards, and allows you to make changes if necessary.
•
Configure Disk Array
: If you have an installed HP disk array, you must
configure it using your DAC configuration utility.
•
Install Utility Partition
: This step creates an 8 MB utility partition on the
server hard disk where HP NetServer Navigator will copy the EISA
Configuration Utility (ECU), Diagnostic Assistant, BIOS Update Utility,
system and accessory CFG and OVL files, Error Message Utility (EMU)
and other utilities. This is not available for SCO UNIX.
