where username:password are the credentials for the media server, and mount_point is the share that
will be mounted. Optionally, all three custom attributes can be replaced with customized values as long as it
conforms to URI specification above. Note that the noserverino option is neccessary when mounting a
Windows share using the Linux service OS Samba client.
LinuxPE add-on packages – Refer to Table 6 – ProLiant HW – System ROM Configuration Boot from SAN build
plan sample and the detailed description in the Steps 4 to 6 – Prepare for hardware configuration section.
Steps 7 to 9 – Perform the update and post-install tasks
These final steps actually perform the firmware update and perform a reboot of the server.
Update Firmware Using SPP – This step actually runs the HP Smart Update Manager to upgrade the firmware on
the target server. Since the Media Server can contain several SPP versions, this script takes a parameter with a
SPPversion custom attribute name to assign a specific SPP version or it’ll use the latest in the Media Server.
This script expects the SPP location on the Media Server to be /Media/SPP/yyyy.mm.x where
yyyy.mm.x is the SPP version number. This path cannot be easily changed.
Boot – Reboots the target server back into the service OS to force the ProLiant Scripting Toolkit utility changes
to be available at next reboot.
Wait for HP SA Agent – This is the same step as before, but this time it is waiting for the agent to register in
production mode.
