Converting disks for iLO Virtual Floppy setup
If you are using iLO Virtual Floppy, convert the Disk 1 and Disk 2 iSCSI boot diskette images to driver
images as follows:
1. Insert the driver diskette (Disk 1) into the drive on the install server and issue the following command:
# dd if=/dev/fd0 of=driver_disk1.img
2. Remove the diskette from the drive.
3. Insert the linux-iscsi-boot rpm diskette (Disk 2 used during post-installation stage) into the drive and
issue the following command:
# dd if=/dev/fd0 of=post_install_disk2.img
4. Copy the diskette images (driver_disk1.img and post_install_disk2.img) to the system where you are
planning to use iLO console by completing the following steps:
a. Go to Virtual Devices on the iLO Web page, select Virtual Media and then select Virtual Media
Applet.
b. In the Virtual Floppy/USB Key box, select Local Image File.
c. Click Browse and select first disk image driver_disk1.img and then click Connect to activate
Virtual Floppy.
5. Start the installation.
6. When prompted for the second diskette during Post-Installation, click Disconnect and select the
second disk image post_install_disk2.img then click Connect.
iSCSI Boot target install method
The iSCSI target disks must be installed with one of the supported operating systems described in System
requirements. Targets can be installed using any of the following methods in conjunction with the
operating system distribution files:
• Diskettes or USB devices
• NFS network installs
• PXE network installs
The iSCSI boot target drives are installed using the following sources: driver diskette images in the
/opt/hp/iboot_install/ddimages directory; the linux-iscsi-boot source RPM on the designated iSCSI boot
install server; and the operating system installation CD-ROMs.
After the installation completes, reboot the system for an iSCSI boot to occur.
Diskette or USB install
1. Power up the server with the first installation CD of the operating system's Service Pack. During
POST, review the iSCSI option ROM messages to ensure that the iSCSI boot option ROM initialized
successfully and is able to log in successfully onto the target disk.
2. When prompted insert the Disk 1 driver diskette or USB device (containing the driver diskette images
you created in an earlier step) then select OK and press the Enter key.
