Installing the OS using HP Ignite-UX

Ignite-UX is an HP-UX administration toolset that enables:
Simultaneous installation of HP-UX on multiple clients
The creation and use of custom installations
The creation of recovery media
The remote recovery of clients
To install the OS onto the server blade using Ignite-UX, go to www.hp.com/go/ignite-ux.

Installing the OS using vMedia

NOTE:
Installing the OS using vMedia might be significantly slower than installing using other
methods.
vMedia enables connections of a DVD physical device or image file from the local client system
to the remote server. The virtual device or image file can be used to boot the server with an operating
system that supports USB devices.
vMedia depends on a reliable network with good bandwidth. This is especially important when
you are performing tasks such as large file transfers or OS installations.
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.
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> fs6:
fs6:\> install
To boot from tape once you are at the UEFI shell:
Shell> tapeboot select
01
PcieRoot(0x30304352)/Pci(0x8,0x0)/Pci(0x0,0x0)/SAS(0x50060B00007F6FFC,0x0,0x1,NoTopology,0,0,0,0x0)
Select Desired Tape:
01
If the correct media is installed, it will boot from tape when you enter the index
number.
If there is no media in the SAS tape drive and you select 1, the following message
appears:
tapeboot: Could not load tapeboot image
