HP Integrity rx3600 Server - Manual (Page 29)

Linux imaging notes:
•
The reference and target servers must have an identical storage controllers.
•
The capture image file will be .\lib\images\yyyy-linux.img where yyyy is the computer model
name, for example ProLiant DL360 G4.
•
Subsequent captures on the same model will overwrite any existing image file.
•
Some applications do not image properly.
Server Deployment Toolbox Jobs
This folder contains jobs that are decompositions of the other jobs, variants of the generic hardware jobs,
and non-deployment jobs.
•
The Hardware Configuration and OS Imaging jobs are available in Read/Write and Capture/Deploy
pairs respectively. The job pairs use the same output/input file.
•
Jobs denoted with “[server-specific]” use a output/input filename based upon the Computer ID of the
target server instead of a static filename. To determine the Computer ID look at the Properties of the
server in the console.
•
If you execute a Read or Capture job, the output file will be overwritten.
•
The Offline Wait job can be used to “hold” a target server in the LinuxPE environment. This job essentially
emulates a first-time LinuxPE PXE boot “Waiting for instructions” state.
•
The Read Hardware Configuration jobs can generate an extensive inventory of the target server
hardware. These jobs execute various toolkit utilities, such as conrep and acu, to gather the inventory.
•
The Upgrade ProLiant ML/DL/BL Firmware job uses LinuxPE, not the production operating system.
Therefore you can use it on bare-metal servers. The job upgrades the following hardware: System BIOS,
Smart Array, iLO, NIC, QLogic HBA, and local hard drives.
