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

Step 1: Add a Debian 5.0 source to your repository

Use the following procedure to add a Debian 5.0 source to your repository.

1. If the /opt/repository/custom directory is mounted from an NFS share, unmount it.

2. Use either BitTorrent or Jigdo to collect the three DVD ISO images for Debian 5.0.

3. Start HP SIM.

4. Select the HP SIM Options →IC-Linux→Manage Repository... menu item.

5. Select New.

6. Select Custom OS for the Item type menu item, then select Next>.

7. Enter the following information for each text field:

Item type: Custom OS

Name Debian5-i386

Description Debian 5.0.3 (Lenny)

Vendor GNU

Version 5.0 Release 3

Architecture i386

Item location Local

Kernel name linux

RAM disk name initrd.gz,iram1.gz

8. Select Save.

9. Select Ok.

Step 2: Copy or move the Debian ISO images into the directory

Copy or move the DVD ISO images for Debian 5.0 into the

/opt/repository/custom/Debian5-i386 directory.

Step 3: Create directories and copy ISO images

In general, loopback mounting is possible; however, the default kernel of many distributions only

permits eight loopback mounts at a time. Therefore, it is possible that these resources may have been

already allocated for other purposes.

HP recommends that you create directories and copy the contents of the ISO images into them, as in

the following procedure:

1. Change to the directory specified in Step 2: Copy or Move the Debian ISO Images into the

Directory:

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

2. Make the directories for the mount point for the DVD and for the contents of the DVDs:

# mkdir cdrom ; mkdir DVD{1,2,3}

3. Mount the first DVD:

# mount -o loop debian-503-i386-DVD-1.iso cdrom
