Installing the operating system onto the server blade
The following procedures describe generalized operating system installation. For more details,
see the operating system documentation.
Installing the OS from the external USB DVD device
1. Connect the Integrity SUV cable to the front of the server blade.
2. Connect the USB DVD cable to one of the USB ports on the SUV cable.
NOTE: Some DVD drives might also require a separate power connection.
3. Turn on the external USB DVD device.
4. Insert the HP-UX 11i v3 DVD (Disk 1) into the external USB DVD drive.
5. Power on the server blade and boot to UEFI. If the server blade is already powered on, then
reboot to UEFI using the reset command at the UEFI prompt.
6. From the UEFI Front Page, press S or s to launch the UEFI Shell.
NOTE: If the device is already selected or you already know the device name, then skip
the following step.
7. Use the map command to list all device names from the UEFI Shell prompt. The map command
displays the following:
fs2:\> map
Device mapping table
fs6 :Removable CDRom - Alias cd66d0a blk6
PcieRoot(0x30304352)/Pci(0x1D,0x7)/USB(0x3,0x0)/CDROM(0x0)
From the list generated by the map command, locate the device name (in this example, fs6)
NOTE: Your DVD drive might not be named fs6. Make sure you verify the ID appropriate
to your DVD device.
8. At the UEFI shell prompt, specify the device name for the DVD-ROM and then enter the
UEFI install command, as in the following example:
Shell> fs0:
fs6:\> install
9. The OS now starts loading onto the server blade. Follow the on-screen instructions to install
the OS fully.
10. Continue with “Configuring system boot options” (page 54)
