Set up PXELinux Before proceeding with the configuration, ensure that your TFTP server and PXELinux configuration is set up and configured properly. To set up PXELinux: 1. Download the HP ProLiant Offline Array Configuration Utility ISO image from the HP website (http://h20000.www2.hp.com/bizsupport/TechSupport/SoftwareDescription.jsp?lang=en&cc=US &swItem=MTX-aad98a00c0d6469d8abf78e2f3&mode=4&idx=1). 2. Copy the ISO image to the network file system, and note the location. NFS and Windows® file shares are supported. For this example, use the following NFS and path to the ISO image: 192.168.0.99:/path/to/acucd/image/hpacuoffline-8.75-12.0.iso 3. Before proceeding, test your network file system to ensure that it is accessible. 4. Access the /system directory of the CD in one of the following ways: o Burn and mount the ISO image. o Extract the ISO image using a third-party tool. 5. Copy all the files from the /system directory of the CD to your TFTP server so that it is accessible by the TFTP software. Configure PXELinux 1. Using the isolinux.cfg file from the /system/ directory of the CD as a guide, copy the labeled targets to your PXELinux configuration file. You do not need to include the entire file: label sos MENU LABEL HP ProLiant Offline ACU Image kernel hpboot_v.c32 append vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img media=cdrom rw root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=257144 init=/bin/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid pnpbios=off vga=791 splash=silent showopts TYPE=AUTOMATIC label vsos MENU LABEL HP ProLiant Offline ACU Image kernel hpboot_v.c32 append vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img media=cdrom rw root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=257144 init=/bin/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid pnpbios=off vga=791 splash=silent showopts TYPE=MANUAL 2. Replace the lines kernel hpboot_v.c32 with kernel vmlinuz. 3. Remove vmlinuz from the append line. The paths to the files on the TFTP server are vmlinuz and initrd.img. You must modify them to include any directories or naming conventions you may have on your TFTP server.

Set up PXELinux
Before proceeding with the configuration, ensure that your TFTP server and PXELinux configuration is set up
and configured properly. To set up PXELinux:
1.
Download the HP ProLiant Offline Array Configuration Utility ISO image from the HP website
(
&swItem=MTX
-
aad98a00c0d6469d8abf78e2f3&mode=4&idx=1
).
2.
Copy the ISO image to the network file system, and note the location. NFS and Windows® file shares
are supported.
For this example, use the following NFS and path to the ISO image:
192.168.0.99:/path/to/acucd/image/hpacuoffline-8.75-12.0.iso
3.
Before proceeding, test your network file system to ensure that it is accessible.
4.
Access the
/system directory
of the CD in one of the following ways:
o
Burn and mount the ISO image.
o
Extract the ISO image using a third-party tool.
5.
Copy all the files from the
/system directory
of the CD to your TFTP server so that it is accessible
by the TFTP software.
Configure PXELinux
1.
Using the isolinux.cfg file from the /system/ directory of the CD as a guide,
copy the labeled targets to
your PXELinux configuration file. You do not need to include the entire file:
label sos
MENU LABEL HP ProLiant Offline ACU Image
kernel hpboot_v.c32
append vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img media=cdrom rw root=/dev/ram0
ramdisk_size=257144 init=/bin/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid
pnpbios=off vga=791 splash=silent showopts TYPE=AUTOMATIC
label vsos
MENU LABEL HP ProLiant Offline ACU Image
kernel hpboot_v.c32
append vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img media=cdrom rw root=/dev/ram0
ramdisk_size=257144 init=/bin/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid
pnpbios=off vga=791 splash=silent showopts TYPE=MANUAL
2.
Replace the lines
kernel hpboot_v.c32
with
kernel vmlinuz.
3.
Remove
vmlinuz
from the append line.
The paths to the files on the TFTP server are
vmlinuz
and
initrd.img
. You must modify them to include
any directories or naming conventions you may have on your TFTP server.
Specify the ISO image path
For the PXE-booted server to find the ISO image, you must add the ISO image path to the append line in the
PXELinux configuration file.
Add the following arguments:
iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99/path/to/acucd/image/hpacuoffline-8.75-12.0.iso
iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice
