Deploying Debian 5 GNU/Linux with Insight Control for Linux Version 6.0 and 6.1

KERNEL_PARAMS="append initrd=${ramdisk} nokill DEBCONF_PRIORITY=critical

preseed=${config_url} xdevice=${mac} init=/init_script vga=788 --"

echo "${KERNEL_PARAMS}" > ${kernel_params_file}

3. Save the install_config file and exit the text editor.

4. Extend executable permission to the install_config file:

# chmod +x install_config

5. You might experience hangs during the installation because of bugs in the Debian network

installer. The following Debian bug reports document these bugs:

Debian Bug report logs - #425397

tasksel/pkgsel causing Etch netboot install to hang indefinitely

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=425397

Debian Bug report logs - #366717

Method http has died unexpectedly (Packages/DiffIndex)

To work around this issue, you might need to omit packages from tasksel or pkgsel and install

them with a post-installation script using apt-get. For example:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=366717

# apt-get install openssh-server

For assistance with this or any other Debian issues, you need to seek support from the Debian

Open Source Community. You can access the HP Debian community from the following web

address:

Step 9: Create agentless installation association configuration script

Debian GNU/Linux is an operating system that is not supported by the ProLiant Service Pack (PSP), so

you need to create the agentless installation association configuration script. For more information on

this topic, see the white paper titled Setting up Managed Systems in ICE-Linux without the ProLiant

Service Pack.

Follow this procedure to create an agentless installation association configuration script named db5-

agentless.sh:

1. Change directory to the space for the Debian OS in the Repository:

# cd /opt/repository/instconfig/custom/Debian5-i386

2. Use the text editor of your choice to create a file named db5-agentless.sh.

3. Copy the following text and paste it to the text editor buffer.

#!/bin/sh

if [ $# -ne 1 ]

then

echo "usage: $0 CMS_IP_addr" 1>&2

exit 1

HP_SIM_Server_IP_Address=$1
