will need to replace all instances of /usr/MediaServer in these examples with the directory

name you used.

2. Under this top level directory, create two subdirectories: Images and Media. For example,

/usr/MediaServer/Images and /usr/MediaServer/Media.

3. For each operating system distribution, create a subdirectory under Media and copy the

appropriate operating system distributions, including hidden or system files using the directory

names in Table 2 (page 14). Using these directory names will ensure the HP-provided OS

Build Plans will run without modification.

4. Do the same for SPPs and Intelligent Provisioning images, using the directory names described

in Table 2 (page 14).

Setup Samba Server for Windows deployments

IMPORTANT: All file share names, user names and file names must not contain the following

reserved characters: < (less than) > (greater than) : (colon) " (double quote) / (forward slash) \

(backslash) | (vertical bar or pipe) ? (question mark) * (asterisk) [ (open square bracket) ] (close

square bracket) ; (semicolon) = (equal sign) , (comma) + (plus) & (ampersand) ~ (tilde) ? (Question

mark) (null) and No leading or trailing space. All passwords must not contain (null), leading or

trailing space and no " (Double quotes).

To setup a Samba Server:

1. Install the following rpms.

• For a Red Hat Linux Media Server:

libtdb.x86_64

samba.x86_64

samba-common.x86_64

samba-winbind.x86_64

samba-winbind-clients.x86_64

httpd

• For a SUSE Linux Media Server:

samba-x86_64.rpm

samba-winbind-32bit-x86_64.rpm

libtdb1-x86_64.rpm

apache2

2. Create a non-root user on the Linux Media Server. See the list of reserved characters above.

3. Add the following configuration to the /etc/samba/smb.conf file:

[Media]

path=/usr/MediaServer

public=no

writable=yes

browseable=yes

write list=username

where:

Media is the Samba share name. You can use any name you want here except for the reserved

characters noted above.

/usr/MediaServer would be replaced with whatever path you created for your top level

Media Server directory. Be sure the username you use has write access to the file share path.

username would be replaced with the valid user created on the Media Server in Step 2.

4. Start the smb service.

service smb start
