Copy and then paste the STK IO driver to the windows\system32\drivers directory.

windows\system32\drivers

For more information about Windows PE 3.0, see the Windows Preinstallation Environment User's
Guide
(WinPE.chm) located in the Windows Automated Installation Kit.

For more information about the Windows PE drivers included in the Windows Scripting Toolkit,
see the readme.txt file located at the root of the Windows PE driver bundle in the hpDrivers
directory.

NOTE:

Before running HPDISCOVERY, you must install WMI. For more information on installing

extra packages in Windows PE, see the Windows PE documentation.

Capturing a reference configuration from the source server

1.

Boot the CD that contains the customized Windows PE image on the source server.

2.

Open a command window.

3.

Capture the system settings from the source server using the CONREP utility:
a.

Change to the directory where CONREP resides.

b.

Save the current system configuration to a data file in the \data directory you created
on the network share:

conrep -s -fs:\data\filename

Choose a file name that is descriptive of the source server; for instance, dl380g3.xml.

4.

Capture the storage settings:
a.

Change to the directory in which HPACUSCRIPTING resides.

b.

Save the current array configuration to a data file in the \data directory you created on
the network share:

hpacuscripting -c s:\data\filename

Choose a file name that is descriptive of the source array; for instance,
dl380g3array.ini

.

5.

Verify that the new output files are present in the \data directory.

You cannot capture and apply iLO settings using HPONCFG in the same fashion as CONREP and
HPACUSCRIPTING. For more information, see

“Using HPONCFG” (page 57)

.

IMPORTANT:

Because the -w argument does not capture certain types of information, such as

the administrator password, data files created with HPONCFG using the -w argument cannot then
be used as input files for HPONCFG, unless they are modified first.

Configuring the target server and installing the operating system

1.

Boot the CD that contains the customized Windows PE image on the target server.

2.

Run CONREP to configure the target server with the captured settings:
a.

Change to the directory where CONREP resides.

b.

Apply the captured configuration to the target server:

conrep -l -fs:\data\filename

3.

Run HPACUSCRIPTING to configure the storage of the target server with the captured settings:
a.

Change to the directory where HPACUSCRIPTING resides.

b.

Apply the captured configuration to the target array:

bin \hpacuscripting.exe -i s:\data\filename
