to switch to the WinPE service OS which would make the build plan run that much longer while the server was rebooted.

This is strictly efficiency and could have been omitted.

Step 12 – Last step of the Boot from SAN section

The Wait for SA Agent build plan script step will wait for the agent in the WinPE service OS before beginning the OS

installation since the previous boot step was modified to boot to WinPE.

Before Step 13 – Beginning of OS installation section - Unnecessary steps removed

Step 13 begins the OS installation section of the build plan. The first five steps of the original OS installation build plan

have been moved or removed.

 Validate Custom Attributes was moved to the head of the build plan.

 Check iLO Service was already done at the head of the build plan so it was removed.

 Verify Supported Boot Modes was already done at head of the build plan so it was removed.

 The Boot step was removed since the target server will already be in the WinPE service OS as a result of

modifying Step 11 Boot step. Refer to Step 11 – Modified Boot step service OS section above.

 Decommission Server was moved to be after the first Boot step of the build plan.

 Wait for HP SA Agent is not needed since the Boot step was removed.

Steps 13 to 26 – The rest of the OS Installation build plan

These are the steps that perform the actual OS installation and are not modified from the original build plan.

Before Step 27 – Remove unnecessary steps

The Check iLO Service step was removed from the SPP section as that step was already performed at the beginning of

the combined build plan.

Steps 27 to 32 – The rest of the SPP build plan

These are the steps that perform the actual SPP installation and are not modified from the original build plan.
