• Simultaneous installation of HP-UX on multiple clients

• The remote recovery of clients
To install the OS onto the server using Ignite-UX, go to http://www.hpe.com/info/ignite-ux.
Installing HPE OpenVMS with Infoserver Utility
Infoserver Utility enables OpenVMS installations and upgrades over the network. To install the OS using
Infoserver, see the "Setting Up and Performing Network Booting" section in HPE OpenVMS Version 8.4
Upgrade and Installation Manual on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website:
http://www.hpe.com/support/hpesc (search for the manual title or product name).
Installing the operating system with Virtual Media
NOTE:
Installing the OS with Virtual Media (vMedia) might be significantly slower than installing using other
methods.
Using vMedia enables connections of a DVD physical device or image file from the local client system to
the remote server. The virtual device or image file can be used to boot the server with an operating
system that supports USB devices.
Using vMedia depends on a reliable network with good bandwidth, which is especially important when
you are performing tasks such as large file transfers or OS installations.
For more information regarding loading the OS with vMedia, see the HPE Integrity iLO 3 Operations
Guide.
NOTE:
After the OS is loaded, to preserve boot entries in case of failure, make sure to save your
nonvolatile memory settings.
Configuring system boot options
• Boot Manager
Contains the list of boot options available. Ordinarily, the boot options list includes the UEFI Internal
Shell and one or more operating system loaders.
