Configure PXELinux
1. Using the isolinux.cfg file from the /system/ directory of the CD as a guide, copy the labeled targets to
your PXELinux configuration file. You do not need to include the entire file:
label sos
MENU LABEL HP ProLiant Offline HP SSA Image
kernel hpboot_v.c32
append vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img media=net rw root=/dev/ram0
ramdisk_size=257144 init=/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid pnpbios=off
vga=791 splash=silent showopts TYPE=AUTOMATIC
label vsos
MENU LABEL HP ProLiant Offline HP SSA Image
kernel hpboot_v.c32
append vmlinuz initrd=initrd.img media=net rw root=/dev/ram0
ramdisk_size=257144 init=/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid pnpbios=off
vga=791 splash=silent showopts TYPE=MANUAL
2. Replace the lines kernel hpboot_v.c32 with kernel vmlinuz.
3. Remove vmlinuz from the append line.
The paths to the files on the TFTP server are vmlinuz and initrd.img. You must modify them to include
any directories or naming conventions you may have on your TFTP server.
Specify the ISO image path
For the PXE-booted server to find the ISO image, you must add the ISO image path to the append line in the
PXELinux configuration file.
Add the following arguments:
iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99/path/to/hpssacd/image/hpssaoffline-1.60-16.0.iso
iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice
The iso1 parameter helps the PXE-booted HP SSA Offline CD locate the ISO image. The iso1mnt parameter
tells the PXE-booted HP SSA CD where the iso1 image must be mounted.
Your final configuration must be similar to the following example:
label sos
MENU LABEL HP ProLiant Offline HPS SA Image
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img media=net rw root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=257144
init=/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid pnpbios=off vga=791
splash=silent showopts TYPE=AUTOMATIC
iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99/path/to/hpssacd/image/hpssaoffline-1.60-16.0.iso
iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice
label vsos
MENU LABEL HP ProLiant Offline HP SSA Image
kernel vmlinuz
append initrd=initrd.img media=net rw root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size=257144
init=/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid pnpbios=off vga=791
splash=silent showopts TYPE=MANUAL
iso1=nfs://192.168.0.99/path/to/hpssacd/image/hpssaoffline-1.60-16.0.iso
iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice
