Post-OS configuration tasks

The Copy HP ProLiant Post-OS Configuration Support task is tied to the HP ProLiant Post-OS
Configuration package. When executed it copies the contents of the package to c:\$oem$. This
is necessary to get the files onto the local server before the operating system is installed in case
there is no network connectivity after the operating system is installed.

The Perform HP ProLiant Post-OS Configuration task executes c:\$oem$\configure.cmd. The
script performs the following tasks:

Installs various drivers such as networking and iLO.

Installs the SNMP feature.

Installs the HP System Management Homepage, HP Insight Management Agents, HP Insight
Management WBEM Providers, and on ProLiant Gen8 servers the HP ProLiant Agentless
Management Service.

To customize the Perform HP ProLiant Post-OS Configuration task:
1.

Browse to .\OSD\Lib\Packages\HP\ProLiant\PostOSConfig.

2.

Edit configure.cmd as needed.

NOTE:

HP recommends not removing commands already present, and to keep a backup

copy of any customizations as this file is overwritten during an upgrade.

3.

If necessary, copy any additional files referenced in configure.cmd to this folder.

4.

Update the HP ProLiant Post-OS Configuration package to appropriate distribution points.

NOTE:

To change which agents are installed by default, edit install.cmd in the agent's

subfolder. However, disabling agent installation may result in a loss of functionality.
