Configure static IP bay settings for the dedicated iLO 2 management NICs on each workstation
blade in an enclosure for faster deployment.
To connect to the workstation blade using iLO 2, install the workstation blade in an enclosure. Onboard
Administrator assigns an IP address to enable iLO 2 connectivity to the workstation blade.
The c-Class tab enables you to control specific settings for the HP BladeSystem. iLO 2 also provides web-
based status for the HP BladeSystem configuration.
For detailed information about iLO 2, refer to the
HP Integrated Lights-Out User Guide on the HP website
( http://www.hp.com/servers/lights-out ).
Network-based PXE deployment
PXE is a component of the Intel® WfM specification. The PXE model enables workstation blades to load
and execute an NBP from a PXE server and to execute a pre-configured image. The image can be an OS
image created by software utilities or a boot diskette image. This feature enables a user to configure a
workstation blade and install an OS over a network.
Deployment overview
When a PXE-enabled target workstation blade boots, it obtains an IP address from a DHCP server. The
target workstation blade obtains the name of the NBP from the appropriate boot server. Then, the target
workstation blade uses TFTP to download the NBP from the boot server and executes the image.
IMPORTANT: To connect to a network with a Pass-Thru module, always connect the Pass-Thru
module to a network device that supports Gigabit speed.
For each workstation blade being deployed, the PXE server must be connected to the NIC designated for
PXE. The workstation blade defaults PXE functions to NIC 1, but any of the NC series NICs in the
workstation blade can be designated for PXE in RBSU. For NIC connector locations, refer to the
documentation included with the workstation blade.
NOTE: Actual NIC numeration depends on several factors, including the OS installed on the
workstation blade.
To deploy an OS to multiple workstation blades, install a PXE deployment server on a network.
Deployment infrastructure
IMPORTANT: To connect to a network with a Pass-Thru module, always connect the Pass-Thru
module to a network device that supports Gigabit speed.
To establish a network-based PXE deployment infrastructure, provide the following software and minimum
hardware:
•
Client PC (administrative workstation)
o
AMD Athlon™ XP processor (700 MHz or greater recommended), AMD Athlon™ 64 processor,
or Intel® Pentium® III or higher processor (700 MHz or greater recommended)
o
