This Section applies to Workstation/Series 700, and B-, C-,
J-Class, and to D- and K-Class HP Servers. HP Server procedures
resemble the Newer Series 700. Consult your HP representative for
recent information on network-boot capability for other HP Servers. Determine your network server address for the install. If
necessary, see your system administrator for this information. Turn on your Workstation. When you see a message about stopping the boot search,
quickly press and hold ESC to
stop the boot selection process.
Older Series 700 | |
On older Series 700 machines, you will eventually see the
following: (For newer Workstations, see the section “Newer Workstations (Series 700, B,
C, J)”, in this chapter.) Do one of the following: If your network has only one install
server and your system is not configured as a diskless client, then
type: The boot may fail the first time because of an intentional
delayed response by the install server. If it fails,
try it again. If it fails more than three times, check for problems
on the install server (see Chapter 4, "Troubleshooting
Your Installation,"). OR If your network has multiple install servers, make
sure you boot from the network server address specified by your
system administrator.
To Search for Servers: Type the following: If your server does not appear during the search,
type "x" in order
to exit and continue the boot sequence. If necessary, type the following command
again: Note that it will typically take two or three searches
before the install server will be found, due to a built-in delayed
response from the install server. Identify your LAN server from the listing. If three attempts result in no response from the
desired server, see Chapter 4, "Troubleshooting Your Installation."
If you know the Ethernet™ address of your
server and can specify where to boot without going through the search
process, type: where 080009-nnnnnn is the Ethernet
address of the install server. This number can be found by running
the lanscan(1M) command on the server.
If your server is listed during the
search, then you can boot the system by typing "p"
and the index number of the server. For example: This will cause the boot to begin. OR Alternatively, you can exit this screen by typing
"x Enter",
and typing "boot p1"
at the previous screen.
Newer Workstations (Series 700, B,
C, J) | |
On newer Workstations (and D and K class Servers), after the
power is turned on, you will see a graphical interface screen that
displays instructions to press ESC
to stop the boot process. Press ESC, and you should
see the following menu: If your network only has one install
server available, type the following: Otherwise, to make sure you boot from the correct
server, do one of the following: Make the system search for servers
and pick one. OR Explicitly tell the system where to boot, as follows:
To search for servers type the following: The list of servers will be displayed with IP addresses.
You may need to run the command nslookup
on another running system to determine which address corresponds
to your server. Once you know the IP address of your server (as
provided by the search, or by the nslookup
command), boot the system by typing the following: boot lan.nn.n.nn.n install |
For nn.n.nn.n, supply the network
address of your server. The system then begins to load the install kernel from the
network server.
Time Note This should take 3 to 5 minutes. System Configuration | |
Whether you booted the install kernel from the media or from
a network source, after your system is running it will analyze your
new system for the following information: The install kernel location and (disk) device identities connected. Console tty
settings, keyboard language (itemap)
and EISA cards. The default configurations from the LIF volume of
the Install Media (named "CONFIG"). You may be asked for network
information if it cannot be determined automatically. A copy of the configuration file CUSTOM,
in the LIF area of any disk on the system.
