Configure PXELinux

1.Using the isolinux.cfg file from the /system/ directory of the CD 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 HP ProLiant Offline HP SSA Image

kernel hpboot_v.c32

append vmlinuz 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

label vsos

MENU LABEL HP ProLiant Offline HP SSA Image kernel hpboot_v.c32

append vmlinuz 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

2.Replace the lines kernel hpboot_v.c32 with kernel vmlinuz.

3.Remove vmlinuz from the append line.

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
