Re: BladeSystem Firmware 1.30 Deployment Tool
1) Insert/Mount the FDT as you do today.
2) When the server boots, right after you hear the beep for the OS to load, there will be a blinking cursor for about five seconds before the boot environment on the CD starts. At this blinking cursor, type "console". This will drop you to a Linux prompt.
3) Put the components you want to add on a USB key and insert it via the dongle on the server you have at the console prompt.
4) Make a new mountpoint for the CD (eg. mkdir /usbkey)
5. Mount the USB key (normally this will be something like: mount /dev/sdb1 /usbkey
6. Copy the files from your USB key to the RAM drive where where HPSUM will be copied ("cp /usbkey/* /tmp/swpackages/")
7. Run HPSUM silently (must be silent since X support is not on the CD) by typing ./hpsum -s
You can also use an ISO cracker, but it must known how to write a Linux boot kernel based on SLES10 SP2.
Longer-term, I'm looking at several possible solutions to this problem, but you probably won't see them until the February 2009 release of the FDT.

Re: BladeSystem Firmware 1.30 Deployment Tool
If you have access to a Linux system, you can use this method
Make a working directory, for this example I'll call it respin
# cd /tmp
# mkdir respin
copy BB130.2008_0822.11.iso into /tmp, or use the full path to BB130.2008_0822.11.iso on the next line
# mount BB130.2008_0822.11.iso /mnt -oloop
# cp -a /mnt/* respin/
now copy the new .scexe files into /tmp/respin/compaq/swpackages
finally run this command to create a new bootable .iso image
# cd /tmp
# mkisofs -J -iso-level 3 -R -L -o BB130_respin.iso -b isolinux/isolinux.bin -c isolinux/boot.cat -V BB130_respin -no-emul-boot -boot-load-size 4 -boot-info-table ./respin
# umount /mnt

With firmware maintance CD it worked just by copying the new versions to USB key.
