3-24 HP Netserver AA Solution Installation Guide
To prepare for the Unattended Installation, follow these steps:
Step Action Notes
1 Using Endurance Manager, disable IOP2 and CE2. You can use the Tuple Disable
Operation command for tuple 2.
2 If you have the Windows bootable CD in the
CD-ROM, remove it.
If you have the Windows CD in the
drive, when you boot the computer in
Step 3, the Windows setup starts.
3 Boot IOP1 in Offline Endurance I/O Processor
Mode.
The default is Operational Endurance
I/O Processor Mode. Be sure to select
Offline Endurance I/O Processor Mode.
4
On IOP1, launch
MtcPrep.exe. MtcPrep.exe creates files that
prepare the system for the Unattended
Installation of the Windows and
Endurance software on the CE.
The program is located in \Program
Files\Marathon Endurance\CE\Setup.
At this time, the information you provide
is accepted, and the preparation for the
installation proceeds.
However, if you entered an incorrect
Windows product key, later you will be
prompted for the correct one.
5 Specify the destination location for the CE’s copy of
the operating system.
• Drive: Browse to the drive you
marked as the boot disk in the
Endurance Configuration Utility.
• Folder: Indicate the Windows folder.
Typically this is
WINNT.
6 Insert the Windows distribution media in the IOP
CD-ROM drive. On the Windows Distribution Media
screen, browse to the
\i386 folder.
The Windows installation directory
contains the setup utility
WINNT32.exe, which copies the
Windows installation files to the CE boot
disk.
7 Answer all questions, providing information
applicable to your site, user, and operating system
licenses.
8 After you answer all questions, check Begin CE
Windows installation now to run the CE Windows
installation immediately.
If the directory specified in Step 6 is not
correct, MtcPrep.exe cannot launch the
Unattended Installation setup correctly,
and an error appears on the screen.
In that case, verify the location of
WINNT32.exe and run
MtcPrep.exe again.
