CD-ROM deployment
CD-ROM deployment involves using a bootable CD that executes scripts to configure the hardware and
install the OS. After the OS is configured, the workstation blade can access the network to locate the scripts
and files necessary for deployment. Before beginning the deployment process, connect the workstation blade
to the network.
NOTE:
For more information about hardware and cabling configurations, see the documents
that ship with the enclosure.
Two methods are available for CD-ROM deployment:
•
•
USB CD-ROM
iLO virtual CD-ROM
To deploy with a boot CD:
1.
Do one of the following:
o
Insert the boot CD into the client PC using the iLO 2 Remote Console.
o
Use iLO 2 to create an image file of the boot CD.
o
Copy the image of the boot CD to a location on the network or the client PC hard drive.
2.
Remotely access the workstation blade through iLO 2. See "HP BladeSystem c-Class advanced
management (on page
)."
3.
Click the Virtual Media tab.
4.
Select the Virtual Media applet.
5.
Use the Virtual Media applet to select the local CD or image file and connect the Virtual CD to the
workstation blade.
6.
Use the iLO 2 Virtual Power Button feature to reboot the workstation blade.
7.
After the workstation blade boots, follow the normal network installation procedure for the OS.
Diskette image deployment
To deploy with a diskette image, you must create a DOS-based network-enabled boot diskette. That script
executes a script that configures the hardware and installs the OS. The diskette enables the workstation blade
to access the required deployment scripts and files on the network.
This deployment method implies a deployment infrastructure that can include an administrator workstation,
PXE server, Microsoft® Windows® file share, or a Linux file share. For more information, see "Deployment
infrastructure (on page
)."
Before beginning the deployment process, connect the workstation blade to the network.
