11 Configuration flows (manual and scripted)
Configuration flow overview
There are two ways to configure a server:
•
“Manual configuration flow” (page 147)
•
“Scripted configuration flow” (page 147)
Manual configuration flow
BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) can be used to configure an HP server manually. When the
server is powered up in an unconfigured state, BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) executes when
you press F9, to configure the server.
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 the BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU):
1.
Restart or power up the server.
2. Press F9 to enter the System Utilities screen.
3. Select BIOS Platform/Configuration (RBSU) to configure BIOS settings.
4. Select iLO 4 to configure iLO settings.
Scripted configuration flow
BIOS/Platform Configuration (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/
ProLiantSTK ).
The following utilities are provided in the toolkit:
•
“Configuration Replication Utility (CONREP)” (page 148)
•
“Array Configuration Replication Utility” (page 149)
