PXELinux
These instructions presume that you are using a Linux TFTP server and the TFTP package
. Other TFTP servers should work similarly.
Set up PXELinux
Before proceeding with the configuration, ensure that your TFTP server and PXELinux configuration is set up
and configured properly.
To set up PXELinux:
1.
Download the HP ProLiant Offline HP Smart Storage Administrator ISO image from the HP website
2.
Copy the ISO image to the network file system, and note the location. NFS and Windows file shares are
supported.
For this example, use the following NFS and path to the ISO image:
192.168.0.99:/path/to/ahpssacd/image/hpssaoffline-1.60-16.0.iso
3.
Before proceeding, test your network file system to ensure that it is accessible.
4.
Access the /system directory of the CD in one of the following ways:
o
Burn and mount the ISO image.
o
Extract the ISO image using a third-party tool.
5.
Copy all the files from the /system directory of the CD to your TFTP server so that it is accessible
by the TFTP software.
Configure PXELinux
1.
Using the isolinux.cfg file from the /system/ directory of the CD as a guide, copy the labeled targets to
your PXELinux configuration file. You do not need to include the entire file:

2.
Replace the lines kernel hpboot_v.c32 with kernel vmlinuz.
3.
Remove vmlinuz from the append line.
