agent jobs can be found under HP Deployment Toolbox/4

→Software which should be installed

after the OS is deployed.

For example, in the HPIO RHEL54 BL BFS job folder highlighted in the following figure, enter
01 in front of the first job, Deploy ProLiant System Configuration (BL BFS); enter 02 in front of
the second job, DeployRHEL 5.4 x64 (EN-US); enter 03 in front of the third job, Install HP
Management Agents for RHEL 5 x64.

For Direct-Attached Storage (DAS) OS deployment, do not include the Deploy ProLiant System
Configuration (BL BFS) job in the job folder.

5.

To create a job folder for each required operating system, repeat this procedure.

6.

To enable adding computers to the domain during provisioning, configure the Insight Control
server deployment domain authorization using Tools

→Options→Domain Accounts.

Enclosures are discovered by Systems Insight Manager through the iLO IP address of the
enclosure. Be sure to use the iLO credentials of the Onboard Administrator enclosure as the
WBEM credentials.

7.

In Matrix Operating Environment, create storage pool entries for automated SAN boot
provisioning. It's important to know the storage array port WWN/LUN (World Wide
Name/Logical Unit Number) when creating the entries. If these settings are unknown, modify
them after creating storage LUNs and zones. See

“Manually creating SAN-backed storage

in Matrix OE visualization” (page 127)

.

8.

Manually configure storage LUN presentation and zoning using the virtual HBA WWN in VC
profiles used when creating the storage pool entries. HP recommends creating a spreadsheet
to track storage mapping.

During provisioning, the server blade should see a SAN volume when booting. If it does not, check
the storage configuration settings.
