HP ProLiant SCCM 2012 Integration Kit (v 2013.02.0) User Guide

3. Optionally, configure the new task sequence.
NOTE: HP recommends setting an Administrator password and joining the domain.
IMPORTANT: The task sequence must install the operating system to C: on Disk 0.
4. Deploy the task sequence to a collection
The following options need to be selected:
• On the Deployment Settings screen, set Purpose = Required, and set Make available to
the following = Configuration Manager clients, media and PXE.
• On the Schedule screen, add a mandatory assignment of As soon as possible.
• On the Distribution Points screen, set Deployment options = Access content directly from
a distribution point when needed by the running task sequence.
5. Import a target server and assign it to the collection.
IMPORTANT: You must specify both the SMBIOS GUID and the PXE NIC MAC address. The
SMBIOS GUID is necessary in order that the SCCM agent can match the target server in the
SCCM database, avoiding the NIC ordering problem. The PXE NIC MAC address is required
for the Clear Required PXE Deployment functionality.
6. Power on the target server so that it can connect to SCCM and begin the deployment process.
There are two possibilities: PXE and iLO Virtual Media.
To use PXE, the target server must be forced to boot PXE the first time. This is because by
default, on ProLiant servers, PXE is not first in the boot order. When using c-Class blades,
Onboard Administrator can be used to force a PXE boot and to power on the blade.
To use iLO Virtual Media, in the SCCM console create task sequence media based upon the
appropriate HP ProLiant boot image. Mount the generated ISO file in the target server’s iLO
virtual CD/DVD-ROM and then power on the target server.
7. The deployment process installs the HP management agents. When the deployment is complete,
the following action may be necessary to have the target server managed by additional
management products.
