5 RBSU configuration flows (manual and scripted)
RBSU configuration flow overview
RBSU can be used in two ways to configure a server:
•
“Manual configuration flow” (page 200)
•
“Scripted configuration flow” (page 200)
Manual configuration flow
RBSU can be used to configure an HP server manually. When the server is powered up in an
unconfigured state, RBSU executes when the F9 key is pressed, allowing the server to be configured.
NOTE:
•
Manual flow does not apply for servers with an integrated ATA RAID IDE controller.
•
Manual flow is not necessary for servers with Embedded Server Setup.
After the server has been configured using RBSU:
1.
Restart or power up the server.
2. Press the F8 key to execute ORCA.
3. After the primary array controller has been configured with ORCA, restart the server.
4. Install the operating system. ( “Operating System Installation” (page 211) )
5. Install any necessary applications.
6. Use HP SSA to configure any remaining array controllers.
Scripted configuration flow
RBSU can be used with the Scripting Toolkit (STK) to create standard server configuration scripts
to automate many of the manual steps in the server configuration process. The Scripting Toolkit
can be found on the HP website (
http://www.hp.com/go/ProLiant/STK ).
