Issue Troubleshooting
Data loss in Toolkit Improper use of the Toolkit utilities and modification of the CONREP data files can
result in loss of critical data. Because of the potential data-loss risk, only experienced
individuals should use the Toolkit utilities. Before using the Toolkit, all necessary
precautions must be taken to ensure that mission-critical systems remain online if a
failure occurs.
Configuring options
using Toolkit utilities
Not all options can be configured using Toolkit utilities. Some options must be
configured manually or with other configuration utilities, which are available online,
before they can be used with the Toolkit. For more information on configuration, see the
option documentation.
Input files for
HPONCFG Because the -w argument does not capture certain types of information, such as the
administrator password, data files created with HPONCFG using the -w argument
cannot then be used as input files for HPONCFG, unless they are modified first.
Sample script files The script files and script segments in this guide are provided only as examples. You
must modify the scripts for your environment. When creating or modifying your own
scripts, the pause command is a valuable tool to help you determine that each step of
the script is functioning as desired.
HP ProLiant drivers
HP ProLiant drivers must be added during Windows® PE customization to ensure the
Toolkit utilities function properly. See the readme.txt file provided.
WMI support HP software requires that WMI support be enabled to function in Windows® PE
properly.
Non-functioning IFHW IFHW is case-sensitive. Incorrect case, misspellings, and incorrect spacing cause the
query to fail.
CONREP version
compatibility
The file format for the DOS version of CONREP and the current version of CONREP are
not compatible.
HPACUSCRIPTING
support
HPACUSCRIPTING supports only HP Smart Array controllers. Review the
HPACUSCRIPTING documentation for the latest information.
Booting from a USB
drive key
Booting from a USB drive key is supported only on certain ProLiant servers. For more
information, see the HP Insight Foundation suite for ProLiant website
( http://www.hp.com/go/foundation ).
Customizing the
DEPLOYSERVER.CMD
script
The IFHW and HWQUERY utilities can be used to customize the DEPLOYSERVER.CMD
script for your environment. For more information about these utilities, see the Toolkit
utilities (on page 25 ) section.
SETBOOTORDER
changes
Any changes you make to the SETBOOTORDER will take effect at the next reboot.
