HP NC373F PCI-E Multifunction 1000SX Gigabit Server Adapter - Manual (Page 26)

Installation and configuration 26
3. At the boot: prompt execute the following commands.
autoyast=nfs://<nfs ip>://opt/hp/iboot_install/scripts/autoinst.xml
install=nfs://<nfs ip>:<//path-to-OS-distro-dir>
netdevice=eth<N>
a. If the LOMs are not HP ProLiant Gigabit Ethernet Multifunction server adapters, then pass the
following boot options at the boot: prompt.
autoyast=nfs://<nfs ip>://opt/hp/iboot_install/scripts/autoinst.xml
install=nfs://<nfs ip>:<//path-to-OS-distro-dir>
netdevice=eth<N> insmod=tg3 insmod=bnx2
b. If the LOMs are Intel adapters, then replace tg3 with e1000 in the above line.
The modules from the install image are pulled through NFS and copied into memory, the scripts read
the option ROM data and connect to the target disk.
Upon successful connection, the target disk is mounted as shown.
/dev/sda
4. If you have any SCSI local disks attached then those are listed first as /dev/sda, /dev/sdb, and so
on. The iSCSI target disk is listed last as /dev/sdc, for example. Make sure that you select the iSCSI
target disk (/dev/sdc) for partitioning and not the local disk.
5. After the modules are successfully loaded, the installation continues by copying sources from the NFS
server. To automate the complete installation, see the SUSE documentation for Auto-Installation using
AutoYast.
PXE install
If the system to be installed contains a network adapter card with Pre-Execution Environment (PXE)
support, then direct install over PXE is possible.
Setting up PXE
The following steps must be performed to prepare for a PXE installation:
1. Configure the NFS server to export the installation source.
2. Configure the TFTP server required for PXE booting.
3. Start or enable the TFTP service.
4. Configure DHCP.
These steps are not described in this guide. See your vendor's respective documentation for details.
5. Configure the NFS server to export the install diskette image of the iSCSI boot and configuration-
related code and utilities. See "NFS install (on page 25)."
6. Execute the following command on the PXE server.
# vi /tftpboot/linux-install/pxelinux.cfg/default
7. Add the following lines to this file:
label <number>
kernel <path-to-OS-distro-dir>/boot/loader/linux
append initrd=<path-to-OS-distro-dir>/boot/loader/\
initrd.img load_ramdisk=1 autoyast=nfs:<nfs ip>:/opt/hp/\
iboot_install/scripts/autoinst.xml \
install=nfs:<nfs ip>:<path-to-OS-distro-dir>
If the LOMs are not HP ProLiant Gigabit Ethernet Multifunction adapters, add the following argument
to the boot options: "insmod=bnx2"
