Install and boot into local WinPE

This is a special script used only for installing Windows to ProLiant servers that are UEFI capable, but configured to boot

in legacy BIOS mode. Since the embedded WinPE from Intelligent Provisioning can only boot to UEFI mode, this script

was created to be able to boot the server to WinPE in legacy BIOS mode when required. It creates a small partition on the

local disk, copies WinPE to that partition, reboots the server to WinPE from that partition but in legacy mode, and waits

for the agent to register with the appliance. If this script is run in any mode other than what is described above, it does

nothing and passes successfully to the next build plan step.

Type: OGFS

Optional Parameters:

 --waitAtLeast=MINUTES – where MINUTES is the number of minutes to wait before actively checking for the

agent; default value is 1 minute.

 --WaitAatMost=MINUTES – where MINUTES is the maximum number of minutes to wait for the agent to come

back online; default value is 15 minutes

 --withVID - does not hide the Intelligent Provisioning embedded drives

 --systemDiskNumber – system disk number where Windows is installed; default disk number is 0

 --systemDrive – system drive letter where WinPE will be copied

 --winpeVersion – WinPE version which will be downloaded; default value is 3.1.

Custom Attributes: None

Install bootloader for ESXi

Installs the ESXi boot loader.

The high level steps are: (1) Writing the EXTLINUX Master Boot Record to the boot disk, (2) Installing the EXTLINUX boot

loader, and (3) Creating the extlinux.conf configuration file. This script does not reboot the target server, but when this

script completes, the target server may be rebooted and the ESXi scripted install will occur. This script comes after the

Create Stub Partition and Copy Boot Media script steps, and expects the following files in /tmp: extlinux, mbr.bin, and

ks.cfg.

Type: Unix

Optional Parameter:

 --kernel_arguments=’args’ - Pass on kernel arguments

Custom Attributes: None

level steps are: (1) Installing the GRuB boot loader and (2) Configuring GRuB. This script does not reboot the target

server. This script comes after the Create Stub Partition.
