System hardware configuration
The sample install_rhel4.sh script performs many hardware configuration tasks, including:
• Copying all toolkit utilities from the network share to the target server
• Running hardware discovery to determine server type
• Obtaining server ID information from the hardware discovery file
• Copying server-specific configuration script and data files from the network share
• Loading drivers for storage controllers and any other devices that must be configured
• Running the CONREP utility
• Running the HPACUSCRIPTING utility, if needed (This action is server-specific.)
• Running any other configuration utilities
• Running hardware discovery to determine the boot controller
• Obtaining the device node of the boot controller (This information is required for the disk-carving
portion of the operating system setup.)
• Running the operating system-specific setup script
The scripting for these steps must be adapted to your server deployment process. In particular, be sure to
change the IP address and path of the NFS server to match your environment. You might also need to make
other modifications, such as adding extra configuration steps (for instance, running HPONCFG to configure
iLO) or additional servers.
The sample install_rhel4.sh script is similar to the following:
#!/bin/bash
## this script's methods work for RHEL 5
## SAMPLE. Change the NFS mount points to match your environment
export NFS_TOOLKIT_DIR=10.0.0.1:/TOOLKIT
## Internal Variables, do not modify
export TOOLKIT=/TOOLKIT
export NFS_MAIN=/mnt/nfs
export HPDISCOVERY_FILE=/TOOLKIT/hpdiscovery.xml
export SERVERNAME=
export BOOTDEVNODE=
