8. Capture the system BIOS configuration using the CONREP utility:
cd /mnt/toolkit_share/utilities
./conrep -s -f/mnt/toolkit_share/data_files/conrep.dat
9. Capture the Smart Array configuration using the ACU utility:
cd /mnt/toolkit_share/utilities/hpacuscripting
./hpacuscripting -c /mnt/toolkit_share/data_files/hpacuscripting.dat
10. Capture the iLO configuration using the HPONCFG utility:
cd /mnt/toolkit_share/utilities
./hponcfg -w /mnt/toolkit_share/data_files/hponcfg.dat
11. Edit the iLO configuration report to create an iLO configuration script:
vi /mnt/toolkit_share/data_files/hponcfg.dat
Unmount the network share

Creating an ISO image to be written to CD
The mkisofs command is used to create an ISO image. The following table describes the arguments
used with this command.
Description Argument
This argument is the output of the mkisofs command, the ISO file. -o linuxbootCD.iso
This argument sets isolinux.bin as the bootloader. -b isolinux/isolinux.bin
This argument sets the volume label of the CD. -V LinuxBootCD
This argument specifies the target directory that will be the root of
the CD. ./linuxbootCD
To create the ISO image, execute the following command at the shell prompt:
mkisofs -J -iso-level 3 -R -L -o linuxbootCD.iso \
-b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat \
-V LinuxBootCD \
-no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 \
-boot-info-table \
./linuxbootCD
Now, the ISO file can be written to a CD.
Configuring the target server
1. At the target server, boot the CD that contains the custom Linux Toolkit image.
2. At the boot prompt, type bash and then press Enter. When the process is complete, a command
prompt appears.
3. Load the network drivers using the loadnet script:
/loadnet.sh
