Execute Card Utilities: When HP NetServer Navigator finds installed
boards for which there are additional configuration utilities on the CD-
ROM, the configuration utilities are executed automatically to complete the
configuration of the boards.
•
Create Drivers Diskette: This step creates a customized diskette that
contains HP drivers and configuration files to use when you are installing
your NOS. This step may be skipped if you are installing your NOS from
an HP-supplied CD-ROM and the drivers are already on the NOS
installation CD-ROM.
•
Show NOS Installation Instructions: This step provides important
customized information about installing your NOS with your hardware
configuration. You should save this information to a DOS ASCII file that
can be copied to a DOS formatted diskette. Take this diskette to a system
with an attached printer to print the file.
•
Diagnostic Assistant: An easy-to-use hardware diagnostic for system
verification, burn-in, and rapid troubleshooting
In Custom Configuration, you can perform the configuration steps in any
order. Select Custom if you are experienced in NetServer configuration and
have a preferred sequence of steps or prefer to configure your system one
component at a time.
In Replicate Configuration, you can save a copy of your current system
configuration or load a previously saved configuration. This method saves time
when configuring multiple identical systems.
