HP Smart Update Manager 6.4.1 Release Notes

3. Activate TFTP within XINETD.
• Change disable=yes to disable=no in /ect/xinet.d/tftp
• Restart XINETD
4. Set up the PXE server to use a static IP:
a. Create the file /ect/sysconfig/network-scripts/ifcfg-eth0.static
b. Set the contents to the file as:
DEVICE=eth0
BOOTPROTO=STATIC
ONBOOT=no
TYPE=Ethernet
IPADDR=<IP>
NETMASK=<IPMASK>
GATEWAY=<GATEWAYIP>
5. Set up the PXE boot environment:
a. Copy initrd.img and vmlinuz from the /system directory of the SPP ISO to /tftpboot
directory of the PXE system.
b. Copy pxelinux.0 (PXE boot Linux kernel) to the /tftpboot directory.
c. Ensure the files copied to /tftpboot are world readable.
6. Configure PXELINUX
a. Create directory /tftpboot/pxelinux.cfg.
b. Create files representing the hex value of the static IP address in the /tftpboot/
pxelinux.cfg directory. For example, if the static IP address used is 192.168.0.254, the
hex value is C0A800FE and the files to be created would be:
• C
• C0
• C0A
• C0A8
• COA80
• COA800
• C0A800F
• COA800FE
c. Create a zero-sized file (using touch) representing the MAC address of the NIC of the boot
PXE boot client (pre-pended with 01 and replacing ‘:’ with ‘-‘) in the /tftpboot/
pxelinux.cfg directory. For example, if the NIC MAC address were 00:01:02:03:04:05,
a file name would be 01-00-01-02-03-04-05.
