Booting a Smart Update Firmware DVD over a network

Prerequisites

The following is required before proceeding with the configuration:
Knowledge of PXE and TFTP.
A network with a DHCP server on it.
A TFTP server configured on the same network as the DHCP server.
A network file server hosting the ISO images and can be accessed by a PXE booted system.
PXELINUX, located at http://syslinux.zytor.com/wiki/index.php/PXELINUX.
This guide assumes that you are using a Linux TFTP server and the TFTP package, located at
www.kernel.org/pub/software/network/tftp. Other TFTP servers should work similarly.

Setup

Before proceeding with the configuration, ensure that your TFTP server and PXELINUX configuration
is setup and configured properly. To set up PXELINUX:
1. Copy a Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO image to the network file system, and note its
location. NFS and Windows file shares are supported.
2. For this example, the NFS and path to the ISO image used is 192.168.0.99:/path/to/
fwdvd/image/FW900.iso. Test your network file system to ensure that is accessible before
proceeding.
3. Copy all the files from the /system directory of the DVD to your TFTP server so that it is
accessible by the TFTP software.
4. To access the /system directory of the DVD, burn and mount the ISO image, or extract it
using a third-party tool.

Configuring PXELINUX

1. Using the isolinux.cfg file from the /system/ directory of the DVD as a guide, copy the
labeled targets to your PXELINUX configuration file. You do not need to include the entire file:
label sos
MENU LABEL Automatic Firmware Update Version 9.10
kernel hpboot_v.c32
append vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img media=cdrom rw root=/dev/ram0
ramdisk_size=257144 init=/bin/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid
pnpbios=off vga=791 splash=silent showopts TYPE=AUTOMATIC
label vsos
MENU LABEL Interactive Firmware Update Version 9.00
kernel hpboot_v.c32
append vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img media=cdrom rw root=/dev/ram0
ramdisk_size=257144 init=/bin/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid
pnpbios=off vga=791 splash=silent showopts TYPE=MANUAL
Result
Because the installation is silent, the installation is
terminated and cannot continue.
The installation occurs.
