Unpacking The Toolkit - HP BL860c Deployment Manual

Unpacking the Toolkit

The SSTK software package is an archive that is provided in tar gzip file format.
The archive expands into a file structure that also serves as a skeleton for the server profile:
• Documentation includes this guide and a readme file with any breaking release information.
• The boot_files directory holds the toolkit environment, which you must copy onto the
SSTK boot device. The boot_files\efi\boot\ directory contains the following files:
bootia64.efi
elilo.conf
elilo.efi
linux
rootfs.gz
• The data_files directory is a placeholder that is used to store configuration files and the
following SSTK log files:
NOTE:
the readhwconfig utility on a target server with a smart array. The acu.ini file is read
when the linux-setup.sh script is executed. This file is not included in the sample file
structure.
acu.ini
conrep.dat
hba-qlogic.ini
hba-emulex.ini
log
• The software directory may contain files, packages, and applications that will be copied
or installed on the new system.
software\[slesversion | rhelversion]
A placeholder directory (for example, rhel4up4 or sles10sp1) that you can populate
with extra packages that you want SSTK to install automatically.
The data_files/acu.ini array configuration file is created when you execute
The \efi\boot\bootia64.efi script is executed
when an HP Integrity server boots. If the server is
cell-based, the acpi flag is set to default, and
then booted to the SSTK pre-boot environment.
Configuration file for the Linux boot loader for
EFI-based systems
Linux boot loader
Linux kernel
Linux root file system in a compressed file
The captured RAID configuration file. This file is
created when the readhwconfig option is executed
on a target server with a supported RAID controller.
The acu.ini file is read and applied before the
Linux installation begins. This file is not included in
the sample file structure.
The conrep EFI variables output file. This file is
created when the readhwconfig option is executed.
The hpqlarep configuration file is used to enable
or disable the EFI boot setting on QLogic Host Bus
Adapters (HBAs). This file is also captured when the
readhwconfig option is executed and applied
before installing Linux.
The hplpgfg configuration file, used to enable or
disable the EFI boot setting on Emulex HBAs. This
file is also captured when the readhwconfig option
is executed and applied before installing Linux.
This folder stores log files and is created during the
SSTK execution.
