Hardware Management Console Best Practices

This file is part of the syslinux package and should be copied from

/usr/lib/syslinux/ to /var/tftp/ directory.

• Create the following directories /var/tftp/hmc and /var/tftp/pxelinux.cfg.

• Obtain the following files from HMC support web site or HMC Recovery

media:

File Name Location on Recovery

Media

Directory to copy to

bzImage Media 1: isolinux / /var/tftp/hmc

initrd.gz Media 1: images/ /var/tftp/hmc

• Create an NFS export the directory /home/hmc/images. If you want to use this

directory to restore a backed up image of an HMC via NFS, you must export

the directory for write access.

• Create a file default under /var/tftp/pxelinux.cfg/ directory. Below is a sample

file:

default hmc

label hmc

kernel hmc/bzImage

append initrd=hmc/initrd.gz media=network server=192.168.1.1

dir=/home/hmc/images mode=manual root=/dev/hda2 vga=0x317

In this example, we are telling the boot server to use the kernel file bzImage in the

/var/tftp/hmc directory and start it with the parameters specified in the next line,

beginning with the keyword append. The server argument should have the IP

address of your server. The dir argument specifies where to get the image to

install.

If the HMC has multiple network adapters, you will need to specify the interface

that is used to initiate the PXE request. To do this, specify the argument xNIF or

xNETWORK_INTERFACE, e.g:

append initrd=hmc/initrd.gz media=network server=192.168.1.1

dir=/home/hmc/images mode=manual xNIF= eth1 vga=0x317

• Obtain the following files from IBM and copy them to /home/hmc/images.

The following table shows the location of the file on the Recovery Media that

comes with the HMC. The files also can be obtained from the support web site

at http://www14.software.ibm.com/webapp/set2/sas/f/hmc/home.html
