Hello,

You can do it via Ignite-UX. Try http://www.docs.hp.com/en/IUX/ for more information.

Dear Hasan,

You can make a ignite server in the network and make a depot.

The rp2430 can be booted thru LAN, and can get installed.

Hi, You have to get to know Management Processor(MP) IP address, you can telnet to MP, use Admin/Admin to connect, then start the server.

Hi,

Just do,

PDC> boot lan install

in the BCH/PDC menu

When multiple ignite servers are present in the network,

PDC> boot lan.nn.n.nn.n install

where: nn.n.nn.n is your server's IP address.

Hi,

The ignite case mentioned above require atleast one more HP system to be there in your network. If this is the case you can also consider taking ignite backup of that server and restoring it onto your current server. This will be more suitable because the possibility of having a external tape drive is much more and the same drive can be connected to both the hosts externally.

But for this to work the other server should have latest ignite-Ux installed and should be of similar architecture.

HTH,
Devender
