Setup
Before proceeding with the configuration, ensure that your TFTP server and PXELinux configuration is setup
and configured properly. To set up PXELinux:
1. Copy a Firmware DVD ISO image to the network file system, and note its location. NFS and
Windows® file shares are supported.
2. For this example, the NFS and path to the ISO image used is
192.168.0.99:/path/to/fwdvd/image/FW900.iso. Test your network file system to ensure that is
accessible before proceeding.
3. Copy all the files from the /system directory of the DVD to your TFTP server so that it is accessible by
the TFTP software.
4. To access the /system directory of the DVD, burn and mount the ISO image, or extract it using a
third-party tool.
Configuring PXELINUX
1. Using the isolinux.cfg file from the /system/ directory of the DVD as a guide, copy the labeled
targets to your PXELinux configuration file. You do not need to include the entire file:
label sos
MENU LABEL Automatic Firmware Update Version 9.10
kernel hpboot_v.c32
append vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img media=cdrom rw root=/dev/ram0
ramdisk_size=257144 init=/bin/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid
pnpbios=off vga=791 splash=silent showopts TYPE=AUTOMATIC
label vsos
MENU LABEL Interactive Firmware Update Version 9.00
kernel hpboot_v.c32
append vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img media=cdrom rw root=/dev/ram0
ramdisk_size=257144 init=/bin/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid
pnpbios=off vga=791 splash=silent showopts TYPE=MANUAL
2. Replace the lines kernel hpvoot_v.c32 with kernel vmlinuz.
3. Remove vmlinuz from the append line.
NOTE: The paths to files on the TFTP server are vmlinuz and initrd.img. You must
modify them to include any directories or naming conventions you may have on your TFTP
server.
Specifying the ISO Image Path
For the PXE booted server to find the ISO Image, you must add the ISO Image path to the append line in
the PXELinux configuration file.
Add the following arguments:
iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99/path/to/fwdvd/image/FW900.iso
iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice
The iso1 parameter helps the PXE booted Firmware DVD locate the ISO image. The iso1mnt parameter
tells the PXE booted FWDVD where the iso1 image must be mounted.
