Configuration and utilities 61
To deploy with a boot CD:
1. Use the local I/O cable to connect a USB CD-ROM drive to the server blade.
Refer to "Connecting locally to a server blade with video and USB devices
(on page
47 )."
2. Insert the boot CD into the USB CD-ROM drive.
3. Reboot the server blade.
4. After the server blade boots, follow the normal installation procedure for an
OS.
Diskette image deployment
To deploy with a diskette image, the user creates a DOS-based network-enabled
boot diskette that executes a script that configures the hardware and installs the
OS. The diskette enables the server blade to access the required deployment
scripts and files on the network.
This method implies a deployment infrastructure that may include an
administrator workstation, PXE server, Microsoft® Windows® file share, or a
Linux file share. For more information, refer to "Deployment infrastructure (on
page
54 )."
Before beginning the deployment process, connect the server blade to the
network with one of the following methods:
•
•
Through an existing network (in the rack)—For this method, install the
server blade in its enclosure and assign it an IP address (manually or with
DHCP).
Through an existing network (out of the rack, with the diagnostic station)—
For this method, power the server blade with the diagnostic station and
connect to an existing network through a hub. The DHCP server on the
network assigns the IP address.
Other methods for connecting to the server blade are available, but they do not
provide the required network access for deployment. For more information, refer
to "ProLiant p-Class Advanced management (on page
52 )."
NOTE: For more information about hardware and cabling
configurations, refer to the documents that ship with the server blade
enclosure or diagnostic station.
