The paths to the 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.

Specify 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/hpssacd/image/hpssaoffline-1.60-16.0.iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

The iso1 parameter helps the PXE-booted HP SSA Offline CD locate the ISO image. The iso1mnt parameter

tells the PXE-booted HP SSA CD where the iso1 image must be mounted.
Your final configuration must be similar to the following example:

label sos
MENU LABEL HP ProLiant Offline HPS SA Image
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img media=net rw root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=257144

init=/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid pnpbios=off vga=791

splash=silent showopts TYPE=AUTOMATIC

iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99/path/to/hpssacd/image/hpssaoffline-1.60-16.0.iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice
label vsos
MENU LABEL HP ProLiant Offline HP SSA Image
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img media=net rw root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=257144

init=/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid pnpbios=off vga=791

splash=silent showopts TYPE=MANUAL

iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99/path/to/hpssacd/image/hpssaoffline-1.60-16.0.iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

You can add additional ISO images by specifying the additional iso# and iso#mnt arguments, for example,

iso2=/path/to/iso2.iso iso2mnt=/mnt/iso2.

Supported network file systems

The following network file systems are supported for use with PXE booting:

NFS:
iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99/path/to/hpssacd/image/hpssaoffline-1.60-16.0.iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice
NFS volumes are mounted with the following options:

o

-o ro

o

nolock

Windows operating systems:
iso1=smbfs://192.168.0.99/share/path/to/hpssacd/image/hpssaoffline-1.60-

16.0.iso iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

Windows operating systems with logon credentials:
iso1=smbfs://user:[email protected]/share/path/to/hpssacd/image/hpss

aoffline-1.60-16.0.iso iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice
