Configuration and utilities 46
Windows Server® 2003 cannot be installed from a USB CD-ROM on the HP c-Class Blade SUV Cable if
the hard drive is completely blank (no partitions defined). To install Windows Server® 2003, use one of
the following methods:
•
Make a partition on the hard drive that Windows Server® 2003 will be loaded on.
•
Use the SmartStart CD 7.60 or later.
•
Use the Rapid Deployment Pack. For instructions, see the HP website
(

N
).
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
42
)."
Before beginning the deployment process, connect the server blade to the network.
NOTE:
For more information about hardware and cabling configurations, see the documents
that ship with the enclosure.
Two methods are available for diskette image deployment:
•
iLO virtual floppy (on page
46
)
•
PXE ("

Creating a boot diskette
The SmartStart Scripting Toolkit provides the tools and information for creating a boot diskette. For details,
refer to the
SmartStart Scripting Toolkit User Guide
and download the latest version of the software from
the HP website (
http://www.hp.com/servers/sstoolkit
).
As an alternative method, configure the hardware manually with RBSU and the iLO 2 remote console.
With this method, the disk is more generic and integrates with an existing network OS installation
process. For more information, refer to "HP BladeSystem c-Class advanced management (on page
41
)."
To operate properly, the server blade must have a supported OS. For the latest information on a
supported OS, refer to the HP website (
http://www.hp.com/go/supportos
).
iLO virtual floppy
To deploy with a boot diskette:
1.
Do one of the following:
o
Insert the boot diskette into the client PC that is using the iLO 2 Remote Console.
o
Use iLO 2 to create an image file of the boot diskette.
o
Copy the image of the boot diskette to a location on the network or the client PC hard drive.
2.
Remotely access the server blade through iLO 2. Refer to "HP BladeSystem c-Class advanced
management (on page
41
)."
