How To Add An Oracle Enterprise Linux Scripted Install job
Article: 199
Applies to: Releases 3.81 through 3.83
IMPORTANT: The ProLiant Bundle for Oracle Enterprise Linux (OEL)
does not contain an integrated automated installer. You will have to manually install or update
the drivers and agents from the bundle to take advantage of them. Step 9d provides an example
on how to install drivers and agents as part of the job.
IMPORTANT: The hp-health package is required to install the one-time boot to PXE
functionality on the production operating system. If this package is not installed, the
target will not automatically boot PXE after the operating system is installed.
To create a Linux scripted install job to install OEL 5.2 or greater on a server:
| 1. |
On the Deployment Server for the Linux boot files, create a new directory in the .\lib\osdist directory
for the specific version and update. For example, for OEL 5.2 create .\lib\osdist\oel52.
|
| 2. |
Copy the entire contents of each distribution DVD or CD into this new directory.
|
| 3. |
For the kickstart file, create a new directory in the .\lib\osconfig directory
with the same name as the directory created in step 1.
|
| 4. |
Copy the corresponding Red Hat Linux version kickstart file to this new directory. For example,
copy the files from .\lib\osconfig\rhel52 to .\lib\osconfig\oel52.
|
| 5. |
Using a Linux compatible editor, edit the kickstart file to modify the line
./altiris-adlagent*.bin 1>>$InstallLog 2>>$InstallLog
to
./altiris-adlagent*.bin --install-as=redhat 1>>$InstallLog 2>>$InstallLog
|
| 6. |
Create a new directory in the .\lib\software directory for the specific ProLiant bundle version.
For example, for Oracle EL 5.2 create
.lib\software\ProLiant Support Pack 1.0.0 for Oracle EL 5.2.
|
| 7. |
Copy and extract the downloaded bundle to the corresponding directory
created in step 6.
|
| 8. |
At the Deployment Server console, copy the corresponding Red Hat Linux scripted install job and rename
it. For example, from the Server Deployment folder, copy
the Deploy ProLiant ML/DL/BL + Red Hat EL 5.2 for x86 + PSP {LinuxPE} job and rename it to
Deploy ProLiant ML/DL/BL + Oracle EL 5.2 for x86 + PSP {LinuxPE}.
|
| 9. |
Edit the new job with the following changes:
| a. |
In the Run Script - Create Boot Environment task, locate the
# replacetokens .\lib\osconfig\yyyy\default.cfg .\lib\osconfig\yyyy\%ID%.cfg line
and replace the yyyy value with the directory name created in step 3.
For example, change the line to
# replacetokens .\lib\osconfig\rhel52\default.cfg .\lib\osconfig\oel52\%ID%.cfg.
|
| b. |
In the Run Script - Create Boot Environment task, locate the
export dist= line and replace the value with the directory
in step 1. For example, change the line to export dist=oel52.
|
| c. |
In the Copy file to task, change the source path to point to the
corresponding bundle directory created in step 6.
|
| d. |
In the Run Script - Install ProLiant Support Pack task,
remove the following lines as there is no installer available for
ProLiant Bundle:
dos2unix -n rdpinstall.sh rdpinstall.sh
dos2unix -n rdpinstall.dat rdpinstall.dat
./rdpinstall.sh
and to install individual components from the bundle,
add commands to extract the component and install using rpm. For example, to
install the health agent, add the following command to the task:
rpm -ivh hp-health*.rpm >> /root/install.rdp.log
