Step 1 to 3 – Early error detection
The first three steps help catch errors that might affect the running of the build plan later on. Refer to Table 1 –
ProLiant OS – Windows 2012 Standard x64 Scripted Install build plan sample and the detailed description in the Steps 1
to 3 – Early error detection section.
Steps 4 to 6 – Boot the server for provisioning
The next set of steps are used to boot the server into the required service OS and reset the status of the server such that
it can be provisioned. Once these steps are done, the server is in maintenance ready to start the provisioning process.
Refer to Table 1 – ProLiant OS – Windows 2012 Standard x64 Scripted Install sample and the detailed description in the
Steps 4 to 6 – Boot the server for provisioning section. For the ESXi build plans, the desired service OS Boot step
parameter is linux64.
Steps 7 to 17 – Stage the installation
These steps perform all the work of setting up for the installation by partitioning the system drive, copying files, putting
drivers in place, and preparing the kickstart file.
 Set Media Source – This is the step that points the build plan to the OS distribution media on the media server.
The parameter for this step is made up of a special custom attribute. This is a hidden custom attribute that
corresponds to the information specified in the Media Server Settings page. At run time, this custom attribute
is substituted and takes this form:
http://media-server-IP/mnt/sharename/media
where /mnt/sharename/media is the mount point and location to the OS distribution media.
