SmartSetup Scripting Toolkit Deployment: HP Integrity Servers with Linux

Table 4-5 SSTK Command Line Options (continued)
DescriptionSSTK Option
USB—/dev/devicename
Passes extra parameters to the mount command.ssstk_mount_options=string
Specifies the name of main launch script.
ssstk_script=filename
Specifies the default response to the toolkit launch script prompt (readhwconfig,
bash, capture, deploy, or linux).
ssstk_action=string
Reports the VESA/PCI bus speed in MHz to the IDE driver, where xx is between
20 and 66 inclusive. It is used when tuning chipset PIO modes. For a PCI bus, 25
idebus=xx
is used for P75 system, 30 is used for P90, P120, P180 systems, and 33 is used for
P100, P133, P166 systems. If in doubt, use idebus=33 for PCI.
Edit the sample elilo.conf file included in the SSTK software package to match your
deployment. Here is an annotated example of a working elilo.conf file:
• The prompt forces interactive mode and the timeout waits for 30 seconds.
prompttimeout=300
• The first (default) entry boots the server to Linux and opens a console (label=linux). To
change the default elilo boot configuration, insert at the top the option default=LABEL.
For example, default=nfs-sample.
image=linux
label=linux
initrd=rootfs.gz
root=/dev/ram
append=”rw ramdisk_size=524288 idebus=33”
• The following entry boots the main toolkit launch script by getting it from a local partition.
The script then read the hardware configuration and writes it to the repository.
image=linux
label=readhw-linux
initrd=rootfs.gz
root=/dev/ram
append="rw randisk_size=524288 ssstk_init=/bootstrap
ssstk_mount=/dev/sda1
ssstk_scritp=scripts/main_toolkit_launch.sh
ssstk_action=readhwconfig"
• This entry gets the main script from a repository located on an NFS share.
image=linux
label=nfs
initrd=rootfs.gz
root=/dev/ram
append="rw ramdisk_size=524288 ssstk_init=/bootstrap
ssstk_mount_type=nfs ssstk_mount=repositoryserver:/nfsshare
ssstk_script=scripts/main_toolkit_launch.sh"
• The following entry mounts the repository located on a USB storage device and executes
the main script with the directive to configure the hardware and install Linux.
image=linux
label=usb
initrd=rootfs.gz
root=/dev/ram
append="rw ramdisk_size=524288
ssstk_init=/bootstrap ssstk_mount=/dev/sda1
ssstk_script=scripts/main_toolkit_launch.sh ssstk_action=linux"
