During the Kickstart post-installation phase, you are prompted to install the HP SFS G3.2-0 DVD

into the DVD drive:

Please insert the HP SFS G3.2-0 DVD and enter any key to continue:

After you insert the HP SFS G3.2-0 DVD and press enter, the Kickstart installs the HP SFS G3.2-0

software onto the system in the directory /opt/hp/sfs. Kickstart then runs the

/opt/hp/sfs/scripts/install1.sh script to perform the first part of the software

installation.

NOTE: The output from Installation Phase 1 is contained in /var/log/postinstall.log.

After the Kickstart completes, the system reboots.

If for some reason, the Kickstart process does not install the HP SFS G3.2-0 software and run the

/opt/hp/sfs/scripts/install1.sh script automatically, you can manually load the

software onto the installed system, unpack it in /opt/hp/sfs, and then manually run the script.

For example, after inserting the HP SFS G3.2-0 DVD into the DVD drive:

# mount /dev/cdrom /mnt/cdrom

# mkdir -p /opt/hp/sfs

# cd /opt/hp/sfs

# tar zxvf /mnt/cdrom/hpsfs/SFSgen3.tgz

# ./scripts/install1.sh

Proceed to “Installation Phase 2” (page 33).

3.3.2 DVD/USB Drive Kickstart Procedure

You can also install without any network connection by putting the modified Kickstart file on a

USB drive.

On another system, if it has not already been done, you must create and mount a Linux file

system on the USB drive. After you insert the USB drive into the USB port, examine the dmesg

output to determine the USB drive device name. The USB drive name is the first unused

alphabetical device name of the form /dev/sd[a-z]1. There might be some /dev/sd* devices

on your system already, some of which may map to MSA2000 drives. In the examples below,

the device name is /dev/sda1, but on many systems it can be /dev/sdi1 or it might use some

other letter. Also, the device name cannot be the same on the system you use to copy the Kickstart

file to and the target system to be installed.

# mke2fs /dev/sda1

# mkdir /media/usbdisk

# mount /dev/sda1 /media/usbdisk

Next, copy the modified Kickstart file to the USB drive and unmount it. For example:

# cp sfsg3DVD.cfg /media/usbdisk

# umount /media/usbdisk

The installation is started with the CentOS 5.3 DVD and USB drive inserted into the target system.

In that case, the initial boot command is similar to:

boot: linux ks=hd:sda1:/sfsg3DVD.cfg
