Flash Archives; Deployment Resource Kit - HP Dl180 - G6 E5504 2X2gb 4Lff Svr Deployment Manual

Flash archives

Flash archives can be used in ProLiant deployment. The primary consideration when using flash
archives with ProLiant servers is to ensure that all the required drivers are included in the archive.
To ensure that all required drivers are included, before creating the archive on the master system,
install all the drivers required by all the intended clone systems, even if the master system does not
have any of those devices or otherwise does not need the drivers. When the flash archive is created,
all the installed drivers (whether or not they are in use) are included.

Deployment resource kit

The Solaris on ProLiant Deployment Resource Kit contains the following tools and examples for use in
deploying Solaris on ProLiant servers:
•
HPQnetstrategy—The HPQnetstrategy package enhances the miniroot to allow automatic
network configuration when the miniroot is not booted from the network. It is required for
deployments initiated by Rapid Deployment Pack and custom ISO boot.
•
Example Rapid Deployment Pack job—This example of an Rapid Deployment Pack job for
deploying Solaris can be imported into a deployment server. When imported, the job must be
customized to fit the intended environment. For more information, see "Rapid Deployment Pack
server preparation."
•
JumpStart examples—Several sample JumpStart configuration files are included.
This resource kit is available from
associated with each ProLiant server model.
For more information, see the README file in the kit.
