Welcome to SmartStart v8.40


The SmartStart CD includes the following tools to enhance the deployment and manageability of Linux on HP ProLiant Servers:  

 	o Linux ProLiant Support Pack (PSP)—The Linux PSP contains drivers, utilities, agents, and applications for ProLiant servers. The Linux PSP can be 		installed using a GUI-based, terminal window-based or silent scriptable installation.
 	o Linux Diskette Builder Utility—The Linux Diskette Builder Utility provides diskettes for supported ProLiant storage options. 

Supported Distributions of Linux

	The SmartStart CD provides supports Linux on the following Intel- or AMD-based servers:
 	o AMD-based 32-bit servers
 	o AMD Opteron-based 64-bit servers
 	o Intel-based 32-bit servers
 	o Intel-based Enhanced Memory Technology 64-bit servers

	The SmartStart CD provides supports the following distributions of Linux on the supported servers:
 	o Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4
 	o Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5
	o SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10
	o SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 11

Minimum Requirements

	Before installing these updates, the server must meet the following configuration requirements.
	o Legacy compatibility libraries must be loaded. The Autorun script detects missing libraries and prompts for their installation. For example, SLES 		  11, 32, or 64 bit requires the compatibility RPM package.
	o The command interpreter (shell) /bin/bash must be installed.
	o For Autorun capabilties, the system must be running X with a window manager and a browser must be installed. 
	o For some distributions, the CD must be mounted and the ./autorun command executed for Autorun to function.

Installation of the Linux ProLiant Support Pack Using Autorun

	If Autorun is configured on the target Linux server, the Linux PSP can be installed using Autorun.

	Red Hat distributions include Autorun. If Autorun is not installed, it must be installed and configured before beginning the installation. 			Autorun will typically mount the CD-ROM on /media/cdrom for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and SUSE-based distributions. 

	Note: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5 and SUSE LINUX Enterprise Server 10 SP2 automount the CD with the noexec property set. Before starting Autorun, the 		CD must be first be unmounted and then manually remounted.

	For other distributions, several Autorun utilities are available for download from various Internet sites. These distributions typically mount the 		CD-ROM on /media/cdrom.

	For the purposes of this readme, the CD-ROM is assumed to have been mounted on /mnt/mnt. The actual mount point should replace /mnt/mnt when 			executing these instructions.

	To use the SmartStart CD in Linux, complete the following steps:
	1. Login on the console as root.
	2. Insert the SmartStart CD. If Autorun is activated, skip the next step.
	3. If Autorun is not activated, manually mount the CD and execute the Autorun script (e.g., /mnt/mnt/autorun). 
	4. On the "End User License Agreement" screen, click the "Agree" button if you agree with the terms of the agreement, or click the "Disagree" button 	   	   to exit Autorun.
	5. Select the "Software" tab.
	6. Select the "Install the ProLiant Support Pack" option to install the Linux PSP. 


Manual Installation of the Linux PSP

	For the remainder of this readme, the CD mount directory is considered to be /mnt/mnt. The actual mount point should replace "/mnt/mnt" when 			executing these instructions. Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and SUSE-based distributions mount CDs on /media/cdrom. If the CD-ROM mount point is not 		defined in etc/fstab, a complete mount command is required.

	To manually install the Linux PSP, complete the following steps:
	1. Login on the console as root.
	2. Insert the SmartStart CD.
	3. Mount the CD (e.g., mount /mnt/mnt or mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/mnt).
	4. Change to the /compaq/csp/linux directory.
 	5. Execute the ./hpsum command to install the Linux PSP.
	6. The installer will open an interactive session for the Linux PSP installation.

Executing the Linux Diskette Builder Utility Using Autorun

	Red Hat distributions include Autorun. If Autorun is not installed, it must be installed and properly configured before beginning the installation. 		
	In Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and SUSE-based distributions, Autorun typically mounts the CD-ROM on /media/cdrom. For other distributions, several 		Autorun utilities are available for download from various Internet sites. These distributions typically mount the CD-ROM on /media/cdrom.

	For the purposes of this readme, the CD-ROM is assumed to have been mounted on /mnt/mnt. The actual mount point should replace "/mnt/mnt" when 			executing these instructions.

	To use the SmartStart CD in Linux, complete the following steps:
	1. Login on the console as root.
	2. Insert the CD. If Autorun is activated, skip the next step.
	3. If Autorun is not activated, manually mount the CD and execute the Autorun script (e.g., /mnt/mnt/autorun). 
	4. On the "End User License Agreement" screen, click the "Agree" button if you agree with the terms of the agreement or click the "Disagree" 	   	   	   button to exit Autorun.

Manual Execution of the Linux Diskette Builder Utility

	For the purposes of this readme, the CD-ROM is assumed to have been mounted on /mnt/mnt. The actual mount point should replace "/mnt/mnt" when 			executing these instruction. Typically, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 4 and SUSE based distributions mount CDs on /media/cdrom. If the CD-ROM mount point 		is not defined in /etc/fstab, a complete mount command will be required.

	To start the Linux Diskette Builder Utility, complete the following steps:
	1. Login on the console as root.
	2. Insert the SmartStart CD.
	3. Mount the CD (e.g. mount /mnt/mnt or mount -t iso9660 /dev/cdrom /mnt/mnt).
 	4. Change to the /punchout/linux directory on the CD.
	5. Execute the application by using the ./lnxbldr.sh command.
	6. Follow the prompts to build the needed diskette images for use during installation of the Linux distribution.  

	NOTE: At the end of the diskette build process, an option is given to view the readme, if provided, for the diskette. Any commands needed at 		              the Linux boot prompt are also provided at the conclusion of the diskette build process.
