HP Insight Control server provisioning Manual Media Server Configuration

• Images is the directory where all captured images will be stored.
• Media is the directory where all the operating system distribution files and SPPs will be stored as
subdirectories. This is also the base directory for the HTTP server. Under this Media directory are
separate directories for each distribution being served by the Media Server. Table 2 lists the directory
names used for each distribution.
Table 2: Operating System Distribution Media subdirectory names.
OS Distribution
Directory Name
VMware ESXi 5.0 U1
Media\esxi50u1
VMware ESXi 5.1
Media\esxi51
RedHat Enterprise Linux 5.9 x86_64
Media\rhel59-x64
RedHat Enterprise Linux 6.3 x86_64

HP Support Pack for ProLiant
Media\SPP\yyyy.mm
where
yyyy.mm
is the
SPP version number, for example 2013.02
NOTE: For VMware ESXi, use HP-provided operating system distribution files since they contain all the
necessary HP ProLiant smart components.
Windows OS Build Plans
Besides the Set Media Source step’s parameter field where the special custom attributes defining the URI are used,
Windows OSBPs have a few more steps whose parameters need to match the Media Server directory configuration. The
following script steps contain path names as script parameters to either the Windows setup.exe program or image file
location:
• Run Windows xxxx Setup where xxxx is the Windows version name
• Prevent WIM File Overwrite
• Capture Windows Image
• Apply WIM Image
If the Media Server directory structure was changed from what is described in Table 2, the parameters will need to be
modified accordingly.
Linux and ESXi OS Build Plans
Besides the Set Media Source step’s parameter field where the special custom attribute defining the URI is used, the
parameter field also includes the path under the Media directory, for example the parameter field could look like
@__OPSW-Media-LinURI@/rhel64-x64. If the Media Server directory structure was changed from what is
described in Table 2, the parameter will also need to be modified for the path name.
Install SPP and Update Firmware OS Build Plans
The SPP path name on the Media Server is expected to be Media\spp\yyyy.mm as described in Table 2 and cannot
be easily modified. This ensures the use of the --spp_version=latest or where this parameter is not defined in
the parameter field will use the latest SPP version.
