Support bundle
The support artifact bundle consists of artifacts that enable you to validate deployment and capture features of the
Image Streamer appliance using a sample Golden Image.
The sample Golden Image (
HPE - Support 1.0 - UEFI Test Image - <date>
) provided in the
Support artifact bundle requires UEFI support.
The factory-provided artifact bundles are read-only and are not extracted automatically. To use the default artifacts,
extract the factory-provided artifact bundles. Factory-provided artifact bundles remain unaffected by a factory reset
operation. During an appliance upgrade, the existing factory-provided artifact bundles are replaced, if the upgrade
includes a newer version of the factory-provided artifact bundles.
Best Practices for using Artifacts
For information on best practices for using Image Streamer artifacts, see HPE Synergy Image Streamer Artifacts

https://github.com/HewlettPackard/image-streamer-tools.
Use existing artifacts as templates
Hewlett Packard Enterprise provides artifact bundles that include OS Build Plans. The existing OS Build Plans can be used
as is and also as templates. For more information about the artifacts provided by Hewlett Packard Enterprise, see the
documentation for Image Streamer artifacts available at
https://github.com/HewlettPackard/image-streamer-tools.
Artifacts provided by Hewlett Packard Enterprise are read-only. However, you can make a copy and edit them. For more
information on copying artifacts to allow modifications, see
HPE Synergy Image Streamer Help.
Use Hewlett Packard Enterprise naming convention
Hewlett Packard Enterprise uses the following naming convention for the artifacts provided with the Image Streamer
appliance:
Organization — OS and version — Action Modifiers
Organization
To avoid naming conflicts, names of artifacts provided by Hewlett Packard Enterprise begin with the organization name.
Hence, do not use
HPE
for artifacts that are not provided by Hewlett Packard Enterprise.
OS and version
The organization name precedes the operating system name and version. Along with the OS and version details, the name
can also contain information about layered application software. Typically, this file naming convention is useful for naming
Golden Images.
Action
The operating system and version details precede the action that an artifact performs in the file name. Typically, this file
naming convention is useful for naming Plan Scripts.
Modifiers
Modifiers can contain any other information that describes the artifact. Typically, this part of the file naming convention is
useful for naming Plan Scripts.
