HP Integrity rx8640 Deployment Guide

3 Setting up the toolkit environment
Setting up the toolkit environment involves editing scripts that control the boot and operation
of the toolkit. The EFI loader launches the Linux boot loader, which in turn executes a bootstrap
script in the root file system. The bootstrap script invokes the main toolkit launch script, which
uses a Windows setup script to trigger the operating system installation. This chapter provides
guidance on editing these files.
Edit sstk.conf
The SSTK variables are grouped in the sstk.conf file. This section describes each variable and
the default values.
DEFAULT_MAIN_MENU_OPTION=“”
Defines the default action of SSTK. The default value is
empty, and any of the following values can be entered:
win
Performs a Windows installation
readhwconfig
Reads hardware configuration
variables
bash
Enters at the bash prompt
lsi
Configure RAID 1 on systems having
LSI 1068 controllers
INTERACTIVE=“no”
Prompts you to confirm certain actions, such as overwriting
files. The value can be set to “yes” or “no,” and the default
value is “no.”
WAIT_TIMEOUT=0
Used in interactive mode to time out the message prompts.
The value can be set to an integer number of seconds.
DISK=“”
Sets the target device where Windows is going to be
installed, for example, /dev/sda. The default value is
empty so that a disk menu appears.
CONTROLLER=“”
Sets the folder name of the OEM driver in the driver
repository, for example, sa6400. The default value is
empty so that the controller is set automatically by SSTK.
If this value is set to “retail,” Windows setup installs a
driver included with Windows 2003.
OS_VERSION=“2003-enterprise”
Sets the operating system edition of Windows to be
installed. The default value is “2003-enterprise.” For
example, if the directories
$OSDIR/windows/2003-enterprise and
$OSDIR/windows/2003-enterprise-jp contain the
Windows installation files and you want to install Windows
Server 2003 Enterprise Edition Japanese, the OS_VERSION
variable must be set to
OS_VERSION=“2003-enterprise-jp”.
The following variables set the name of the configuration files used throughout the scripts. The
default values are as follows:
• ACU_FILE=“acu.ini”
• CONREP_CONF=“conrep.xml”
• CONREP_FILE=“conrep.dat”
• HBAQLOGIC_FILE=“hba-qlogic.ini”
• HBAEMULEX_FILE=“hba-emulex.ini”
• LOG_LEVEL=0: Sets the log level. The default value is “0.” Set “1” for normal log or “0” for
extended log.
