IMPORTANT: The recommended Minimum delay is 9 seconds and the Maximum delay is 10 seconds. These values must be large enough to provide predictable results considering some possibility of HP-UX boot server delays due to the server being busy and possible network congestion.

Configuring an RDP server to initiate HP-UX installation

An HP ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack (RDP) boot server may be configured to act as an HP-UX boot helper. You can do this by adding RDP MenuOptions for the initiation of HP-UX boot for install and placing the Ignite install environment on the RDP server. The RDP server may then be used to initiate an Ignite-UX installation of HP-UX.

To set up boot for HP-UX installation, use the PXE Configuration Utility to create the necessary MenuOptions and copy the Ignite install environment content into the proper locations on the RDP server.

The PXE Configuration Utility program is typically located on the RDP server at

C:\Program Files\Altiris\eXpress\Deployment Server\PXE\PxeConfig.exe

Setting up RDP MenuOptions via Windows commands

A Windows command line may be used to automate Ignite support set up. To create a MenuOption on an RDP server for HP-UX installation, or to update it with new Ignite install environment content, the following command line arguments may be used:

PxeConfig.exe -create -other "HP-UX Managed" -ia64 \

-pathia64 <ignite_content_dir> -save

The ignite_content_dir directory needs to contain the following HP-UX boot and Ignite install environment files:

•.\MenuOption160.0 (nbp.efi renamed as required by the RDP server)

•.\MenuOption161.0 (nbp.efi renamed as required by the RDP server)
