NOTE: USB drives are not scanned before the installer reads the Kickstart file, so you are

prompted with a message indicating that the Kickstart file cannot be found. If you are sure that

the device you provided is correct, press Enter, and the installation proceeds. If you are not sure

which device the drive is mounted on, press Ctrl+Alt+F4 to display USB mount information.

Press Ctrl+Alt+F1 to return to the Kickstart file name prompt. Enter the correct device name, and

press Enter to continue the installation.

Proceed as directed in “DVD/NFS Kickstart Procedure” (page 30), inserting the HP SFS G3.2-0

DVD at the prompt and removing the USB drive before the system reboots.

3.3.3 Network Installation Procedure

As an alternative to the DVD installation described above, some experienced users may choose

to install the software over a network connection. A complete description of this method is not

provided here, and should only be attempted by those familiar with the procedure. See your

specific Linux system documentation to complete the process.

NOTE: The DL380 servers must be set up to network boot for this installation option. However,

all subsequent reboots of the servers, including the reboot after the install1.sh script has

completed (“Installation Phase 2” (page 33)) must be from the local disk.

In this case, you must obtain ISO image files for CentOS 5.3 and the HP SFS G3.2-0 software

DVD and install them on an NFS server in their network. You must also edit the Kickstart template

file as described in “Kickstart Template Editing” (page 29), using the network installation

Kickstart template file called sfsg3.cfg instead. This file has additional configuration parameters

to specify the network address of the installation server, the NFS directories, and paths containing

the CentOS 5.3 and HP SFS G3.2-0 DVD ISO image files. This sfsg3.cfg file can be found in

the top-level directory of the HP SFS G3.2-0 DVD image, and also in

/opt/hp/sfs/scripts/sfsg3.cfg on an installed system.

The following edits are required in addition to the edits described in “Kickstart Template Editing”

(page 29):

## Template ADD nfs --server=%{nfs_server} --dir=%{nfs_iso_path}

## Template ADD mount %{nfs_server}:%{post_image_dir} /mnt/nfs

## Template ADD cp /mnt/nfs/%{post_image} /mnt/sysimage/tmp

## Template ADD losetup /dev/loop2 /mnt/sysimage/tmp/%{post_image}

%{nfs_server} must be replaced by the installation NFS server address or FQDN.

%{nfs_iso_path} must be replaced by the NFS path to the CentOS 5.3 ISO directory.

%{post_image_dir} must be replaced by the NFS path to the HP SFS G3.2-0 ISO directory.

%{post_image} must be replaced by the name of the HP SFS G3.2-0 ISO file.

Each server node installed must be accessible over a network from an installation server that

contains the Kickstart file, the CentOS 5.3 ISO image, and the HP SFS G3.2-0 software ISO image.

This installation server must be configured as a DHCP server to network boot the file system

server nodes to be installed. For this to work, the MAC addresses of the DL380 server eth1

Ethernet interface must be obtained during the BIOS setup. These addresses must be put into

the /etc/dhcpd.conf file on the installation server to assign Ethernet addresses and network

boot the file system servers. See the standard Linux documentation for the proper procedure to

set up your installation server for DHCP and network booting.

The file system server installation starts with a CentOS 5.3 Kickstart install. If the installation

server has been set up to network boot the file system servers, the process starts by powering

on the file system server to be installed. When properly configured, the network boot first installs

Linux using the Kickstart parameters. The HP SFS G3.2-0 software, which must also be available

over the network, installs in the Kickstart post-installation phase, and the

/opt/hp/sfs/scripts/install1.sh script is run.
