HP Integrity BL860c Server Blade Linux Installation white paper

RPM package something like the following will probably work:

rpm -ivh /boot/efi/tg3-<version>.src.rpm

Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 AS/ES Installation via Virtual Media

===============================================================

On a Linux system that will be the client of the iLO, get the RHEL4U4

.iso install image and the tg3-<version>.src.rpm file. This client

will provide the .iso images that can be used by the iLO and the

associated system to install Linux.

Do the following to convert the tg3-<version>.src.rpm file to a .iso

file that can be mounted the vmedia capability in iLO:

mkisofs -J -o tg3.iso tg3-<version>.src.rpm

On the same client system, connect to the iLO and connect the vMedia

system to the RHEL4U4 image. Now start the install on the BL860c using

the vMedia interface.

Go thru the RHEL4U4 install and select the packages that you need plus

the package(s) to be able to build the tg3 driver. The high level

package that is needed to build the tg3 driver is: "Development Tools".

If you want to limit the software installed for building the tg3 driver

then use the F2 key during package selection and select just the

following packages underneath the "Development Tools" selection:

elfutils, gcc, kernel-devel, libtool, make, redhat-rpm-config,

rpm-build.

After the install completes and you are logged into Linux, then change

the vMedia to point to the tg3.iso file that was created earlier. Then

do the following to mount this .iso file from Linux:

mount /dev/cdrom /media/cdrom/

Proceed to the 'Installing the RPM Package' step. When installing the

RPM package something like the following will probably work:

rpm -ivh /media/cdrom/tg3-3.71b-1.src.rpm

SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 Installation via CD/DVD

=======================================================

Burn the tg3-<version>.src.rpm to a CD/DVD so that it can be used to

install the file.

On the same client system, connect to the iLO and connect the vMedia

system to the SLES10 image. Now start the install on the BL860c using

the CD/DVD interface.

Go thru the SLES10 install and select the packages that you need plus

the package(s) to be able to build the tg3 driver. Select the following

packages to be able to build the tg3 driver be installed:

+ C/C++ Compiler and Tools (from Filter->Patterns)

+ kernel-source-* package

+ kernel-syms-* package

After the install completes and you are logged into Linux, then change

the CD/DVD to be the tg3-<version>.src.rpm file. Then do the following

to mount this .iso file from Linux:

mount /dev/cdrom /media/
