Linux imaging notes:

• The reference and target servers must have an identical storage controllers.

• The capture image file will be .\lib\images\yyyy-linux.img where yyyy is the computer model

name, for example ProLiant DL360 G4.

• Subsequent captures on the same model will overwrite any existing image file.

• Some applications do not image properly.

Server Deployment Toolbox Jobs

This folder contains jobs that are decompositions of the other jobs, variants of the generic hardware jobs,

and non-deployment jobs.

• The Hardware Configuration and OS Imaging jobs are available in Read/Write and Capture/Deploy

pairs respectively. The job pairs use the same output/input file.

• Jobs denoted with “[server-specific]” use a output/input filename based upon the Computer ID of the

target server instead of a static filename. To determine the Computer ID look at the Properties of the

server in the console.

• If you execute a Read or Capture job, the output file will be overwritten.

• The Offline Wait job can be used to “hold” a target server in the LinuxPE environment. This job essentially

emulates a first-time LinuxPE PXE boot “Waiting for instructions” state.

• The Read Hardware Configuration jobs can generate an extensive inventory of the target server

hardware. These jobs execute various toolkit utilities, such as conrep and acu, to gather the inventory.

• The Upgrade ProLiant ML/DL/BL Firmware job uses LinuxPE, not the production operating system.

Therefore you can use it on bare-metal servers. The job upgrades the following hardware: System BIOS,

Smart Array, iLO, NIC, QLogic HBA, and local hard drives.
