Edit the task sequence.

a.

Create a new, first group named “Configure ProLiant Hardware”.

b.

Copy the first three steps from the Install Operating System group into the new group.

IMPORTANT:

The partitioning tasks are required when deploying to bare metal servers.

On a bare metal server, the Smart Array auto-configures itself, but the drive must be
partitioned and formatted to allow the Run Command Line to download its reference
package and the Restart Computer task to cache its state information.

c.

Follow those steps with a Run Command Line task with the following options:

Name = Load WinPE Drivers

Command Line = drvload.cmd

Package = HP ProLiant Hardware Configuration

IMPORTANT:

The drvload.cmd script copies the hpsstkio.sys driver to the

windows\system32\drivers

directory and loads the iLO drivers that were added

to the x64 boot image. These drivers are required by some of the toolkit utilities.

d.

Add one or more Run Command Line tasks for each toolkit utility.

Name =

Command Line = toolkit utility executable with parameters

Package = HP ProLiant Hardware Configuration

IMPORTANT:

If you are performing a BIOS configuration, because there are two BIOS configuration
utilities, either create a separate task sequence for each utility or use a batch file that
will determine which utility to use.

If you are performing a BIOS configuration, it is probable that the system may need
to be restarted after changing the configuration. Add a Restart Computer task with
The boot image assigned to this task sequence selected.
