iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice
label vsos
MENU LABEL Interactive Firmware Update Version 9.10

ramdisk_size=257144 init=/bin/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid

pnpbios=off vga=791 splash=silent showopts TYPE=MANUAL

iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99/path/to/fwdvd/image/FW910.iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

You can add additional ISO images by specifying the additional iso# and iso#mnt arguments, for
example, iso2=/path/to/iso2.iso iso2mnt=/mnt/iso2.

The following network file systems are supported for use with PXE booting:
NFS:

iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99/path/to/fwdvd/image/FW900.iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

NFS volumes are mounted with the following options:

-o ro

nolock

Windows® operating systems:

iso1=smbfs://192.168.0.99/share/path/to/fwdvd/image/FW910.iso

iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

Windows® operating systems with login credentials:

iso1=smbfs://user:[email protected]/share/path/to/fwdvd/image/FW910.

iso iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice

Deploying firmware and software simultaneously

HP Smart Update Manager utility enables you to deploy firmware and software components
simultaneously. Only Windows® online deployments support deploying firmware and software
components from Windows® PSPs and HP BladeSystem online bundles simultaneously. The latest

Microsoft® Windows® PSP, bundles, and firmware components must be in the same directory and the
cp*.exe file added to the repository to deploy simultaneously. With the ability to get components from

ftp.hp.com, you can deploy software and firmware components without using bundles.

NOTE:

HP Smart Update Manager is compatible with various types of HP bundles.
