HP NC373F PCI-E Multifunction 1000SX Gigabit Server Adapter - Manual (Page 15)

Installation and configuration 15
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.
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:
# 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>.src.rpm
/opt/hp/iboot_install/SRPMS
# cp /rpmpath/bnx2-<version>.src.rpm /opt/hp/iboot_install/SRPMS
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>.
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.
