Installation and configuration 23
4. The driver diskette images can be copied to a removable diskette or USB device, or they can be
accessed through the network using NFS or PXE. Modify the following variables as needed.
a. For diskette installations, do not modify the COPYMETHOD, NFSSERVER, or NFSSHARE
variables.
b. For NFS installations, modify the COPYMETHOD, NFSSERVER, and NFSSHARE variables.
COPYMETHOD=nfs
NFSSERVER=<NFS-server-IP>
NFSSHARE=<share-point>
5. The root password is set to root123 in the autoinst.xml file. To modify the root password, search for
the following line in the autoinst.xml file and change it to the new password.
<user_password>root123</user_password>
Creating iSCSI boot driver images (Disk 1 and Disk 2)
1. Copy the driver diskette images (Disk 1) to a network or storage device
a. For network installs, skip this step and go to step 5.
b. For diskette or USB devices execute the following on the iSCSI boot install server:
# cd /opt/hp/iboot_install/ddimages
# mount -o loop iboot_install_<release>_driver.dd /mnt
# cp /opt/hp/iboot_install/scripts/autoinst.xml /mnt/autoinst.xml
# umount /mnt
2. Insert a diskette or USB device in the iSCSI boot install server and execute the following:
# umount /dev/fd0 (Ignore any mount error messages)
# dd if=iboot_install_<release>_driver.dd of=/dev/fd0
3. Upon completion, safely remove the diskette or USB device (Disk 1).
4. Insert a second diskette or USB device and execute the following to copy the iSCSI boot and
configuration scripts, bnx2 source RPM (the bnx2 source RPM is packaged with the iSCSI boot
feature), and linux-iscsi-boot source RPM. This diskette or USB device (Disk 2) is inserted during the
post-installation stage of the operating system install.
# umount /dev/fd0 (Ignore any mount error messages)
# mkfs -t ext2 /dev/fd0
# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt
# cp -r /opt/hp/iboot_install/scripts /mnt
# cp -r /opt/hp/iboot_install/SRPMS /mnt
# cp /rpmpath/linux-iscsi-boot-<version>.i386.rpm /mnt/SRPMS
# cp /rpmpath/bnx2-<version>.src.rpm /mnt/SRPMS
# sync
# umount /mnt
5. For network installs only, copy the linux-iscsi-boot source RPM and bnx2 source RPM to the SRPMS
directory by executing the following command.
# cp /rpmpath/linux-iscsi-boot-<version>.i386.rpm
/opt/hp/iboot_install/SRPMS
# cp /rpmpath/bnx2-<version>.src.rpm /opt/hp/iboot_install/SRPMS
a. Export the folder /opt/hp/iboot_install for NFS sharing (as described in nfsd and exportfs man
pages). If you want an alternate NFS share folder to be used during the install, copy the files in
the /opt/hp/iboot_install directory to /<NFS share folder>.
b. Create the Driver Diskette layout in the root directory of the OS installation source:
# cd /opt/hp/iboot_install/ddimages
