Table 6-3 OS registration information (continued)
Supply for
supported
OS, custom
OS, or bothDescriptionRegistration information
CustomThe name of the kernel boot file. If you do not supply a kernel name,
vmlinuz is the default file name.
In the context of a custom OS, the file name might be different name.
You must examine the installation sources to determine what the OS
has named them.
Kernel name
CustomThe name of the RAM disk boot file. If you do not supply a kernel name,
initrd.img is the default file name.
In the context of a custom OS, the file name might be different. You
must examine the installation sources to determine what the OS has
named them.
RAM disk name
8. Select Save.
9. View the summary information, which provides the paths where you will copy the
vendor-supplied OS installation files. For example:
Item Name RHEL5U2-x64 has been updated.
Path on disk: /opt/repository/os/RHEL5U2-x64
Path via HTTP: /os/RHEL5U2-x64
Boot target path on disk: /opt/repository/boot/RHEL5U2-x64Boot
Notice: You may now upload the Operating system, kernel, and RAM disk images
if you have not done so yet.
IMPORTANT: Write down or cut and paste into a file the directory names provided in the
Path on disk and Boot target path on disk fields.
You need to know these paths to copy the related file(s) to the correct location. If you lose
this information, go back and edit the item in the repository. Select Save without changing
any information and the confirmation screen is displayed again.
The summary information provides the directories created in the repository under /opt/
repository where you will copy the vendor-supplied installation files. For a locally hosted
supported OS, an OS version-specific directory is created under /opt/repository/os
and an OS version-specific directory is created under /opt/repository/boot.
For a remotely hosted supported OS, a directory is only created under /opt/repository/
boot because this is the only location to which you will copy OS installation files.
10. Select OK to return to the Manage Repository screen.
Two new items appear in the table. One item is of the type Supported OS and the other is
of the type Boot image. The Boot image item type is added for you automatically. Its name
is the same as the supported OS with the word Boot appended. The option to add a Boot
image item type is never available because this item type is always associated with a
Supported OS item type, and thus, it is created automatically for you.
After OS registration, the next task is to copy the vendor-supplied OS installation files into the
repository, which is described in “Copying software to the Insight Control for Linux repository”
(page 69).
6.2.3 Registering PSPs
A ProLiant Support Pack (PSP) provides the agents and drivers for use on HP servers. Certain
agents must be installed on managed systems so that HP SIM and HP Insight Control for Linux
can properly monitor and manage them.
