SLES installations
SLES 9 installations
The following describes how to install SLES 9 on iSCSI boot targets.
Installing the binary RPM
To install the binary RPM for Red Hat EL4 or SLES 9 enter the following command on the install server:
# rpm -ihv /<rpmpath>/linux-iscsi-install.<version>.rpm
The following files are installed:
/opt/hp/iboot_install/scripts/configure.sh
/opt/hp/iboot_install/scripts/install_bnx2.sh
/opt/hp/iboot_install/scripts/install_iscsi.sh
/opt/hp/iboot_install/scripts/prep_iscsi_boot.sh
/opt/hp/iboot_install/scripts/setup_kernel_tree.sh
/opt/hp/iboot_install/scripts/ks.cfg
/opt/hp/iboot_install/scripts/autoinst.xml
/opt/hp/iboot_install/utils/optrom/ibootcfg
Additionally, the directory /opt/hp/iboot_install/ddimages contains driver diskette images for all
supported releases of Linux.
Customizing the control file
Before installing an operating system on your iSCSI boot target drive, you must first customize the
autoinst.xml file for SLES installations. The Autoyast control file copies the required scripts and RPMs to a
target disk and contains the steps to be executed during preinstallation and post-installation.
1. Copy the linux-iscsi-boot source RPM and bnx2 driver source RPM to the
/opt/hp/iboot_install/SRPMS directory.
# mkdir /opt/hp/iboot_install/SRPMS
# cp <rpmpath>/linux-iscsi-boot<version>.src.rpm
/opt/hp/iboot_install/SRPMS
# cp <rpmpath>/bnx2-<version>.src.rpm /opt/hp/iboot_install/SRPMS
2. Open the autoinst.xml file on the install server.
a. For SLES 9, execute the vi command.
# vi /opt/hp/iboot_install/scripts/autoinst.xml
b. For SLES 10, execute the vi command.
# vi /opt/hp/hp-iscsi-boot/scripts/autoinst.xml
3. Modify the following variable to update the hostname. You may use the default hostname if you do
not want to set a new name. The available value for boot loader type is GRUB. LiLO is not supported
in this release.
SYSNAME=<hostname>
BOOT_LOADER=<boot-loader-type>
