This guide supplements the ProLiant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack, and assumes that an existing deployment infrastructure already exists. The purpose of this guide is to provide a turn-key cluster deployment solution for the ProLiant DL380 G2 Packaged Cluster. When the process completes, the system is ready for a production environment. Help us improve our technical communication. [. . . ] In the imaged OS deployment, the hardware configuration and OS image captured previously is used to deploy new clusters. Additionally, there is no need for an unattended installation file. In the Altiris eXpress Deployment Server Console , expand the events folder named SmartStart Toolkit and OS Imaging Events. Right-click on Deploy Hardware Configuration and Windows Image and select Copy. Right-click on the Packaged Cluster Deployment Events folder and select Paste. This adds a new event to the Packaged Cluster Deployment Events folder named Deploy Hardware Configuration and Windows Image. Right-click on Deploy Hardware Configuration and Windows Image and select Rename. For this guide, the event is named Imaged OS Packaged Cluster Deployment. Deploying the Hardware Configuration 1. In the Altiris eXpress Deployment Server Console, double-click on the Imaged OS Packaged Cluster Deployment Event to open the Event Properties window. This window shows the tasks in this event. Click on the first task, Run Script and select Edit. This opens the Script Task Properties window. Under the Run this script bullet is the script that will be run to deploy the system configuration to the RBSU and the logical drive configuration to the Smart Array 5i array controller. Change the default filenames for the hwrfile and aryname variables to the names of the files specified during the capture of the reference configuration. For this guide, the filenames are changed to 380G2-H. INI and 380G2-A. INI. If it is present, delete the entire line starting with set osfile=. . . The script with changes is: rem Deploy Hardware Configuration rem bootwork unload rem deployment start set hwrfile=380G2-H. ini set aryfile=380G2-A. ini call f:\deploy\tools\scripts\setcfg. bat Please note the call to setcfg. bat. This script is part of the ProLiant Integration Module and does not require any changes. Note: Make sure that the filename specified as the aryfile is the file that contains only the local drive array configuration. Click OK to close the Script Task Properties window. Deploying the OS Image 1. In the Event Properties window for the Imaged OS Packaged Cluster Deployment Event, highlight Deploy Image under the Task heading then click Edit. 1717-0702A-WWEN Rapid Deployment Guide for the ProLiant DL380 G2 Packaged Cluster Using the Rapid Deployment Pack V1. 20 22 2.
