Modifying Build Plan Step Parameters
Some build plan steps are controlled by the parameters associated with that step. You may wish to change these
parameters to better suit your needs. For most of the HP-provided scripts, a summary of parameters for that script are
listed in the script’s description field.
Combining Build Plans
Combining multiple build plans into one build plan may be desired if a series of build plans are frequently run in the same
order. For example, to configure the system ROM, setup the RAID controller, and then install the operating system. In
most cases, combining build plans is as simple as combining all of the steps and parameters from the multiple build
plans and putting them into one large build plan in the same order. This is easily accomplished when editing a build plan,
by selecting Copy steps from existing OS Build Plan when adding steps to your build plan.
Once all of the steps are put together, you may find it beneficial to make slight adjustments to the combined build plan
that will make it more efficient or provide better error checking. HP provides some sample build plans that can be used
as an example of combining build pans and the types of modifications one might make to them once they are combined.
See the detailed breakdown of the combo build plans in the following section for descriptions of such modifications.
Detailed Breakdown of Sample Build Plans
Looking at a build plan for the first time can be somewhat intimidating. Some have many steps you may not fully
understand, which can make modifying and troubleshooting them very challenging.
This section provides information on the various steps of the HP-provided build plans. It will explain what the steps do,
the order they are in, if they are required, and if they are meant to be modified. It will also explain the general methods
used to perform the build plan’s functionality. It is suggested to review all the build plan samples in this section since
information that appears in multiple build plans will not be explained more than once.
NOTE: These examples are just a sampling of all the build plans HP provides and may not exactly match the build plans
on the appliance, but the information provided will still be valid.
