Deploying an OS image using the ImageDeploy CD

  1. Perform the following steps on the target device:
    1. Insert the ImageDeploy CD (or DVD) in the target device, and boot off of the CD (or DVD).
    2. Specify which SOS to boot (Linux or WinPE).
    3. From the boot source menu, select Install from network.
    4. When prompted, type your HPCA server IP address or host name and port number in the following format:

      xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx:port

      For example:

      HPCA.acmecorp.us.com:3466 or 192.168.1.100:3466

      Note that port 3466 is reserved for OS imaging and deployment in an HPCA Core and Satellite installation. In an HPCA Classic installation, port 3469 is reserved for this purpose.

    5. Press Enter to continue.

    The device connects to the HPCA server and is added to the Devices list using a variation on the MAC address as the device name. After the ImageDeploy CD connects to the HPCA server, the following messages are displayed:

    This machine has no local OS or the OS is invalid.

    The machine cannot be used and will be shut down until an administrator specifies Policy and performs a Wake on LAN.

  2. Perform the following steps in the HPCA Console:
    1. On the Management tab, follow the instructions for Deploy an OS Image.
    2. For the deployment method, select CD/DVD.
  3. After the wizard completes, reboot the target device again using the ImageDeploy CD.

    During this reboot, the OS image is detected and deployed. This can take 10 to 15 minutes depending on the size of the image and network bandwidth. If multiple OS images are entitled to the device, you will be prompted to select the OS to install.

When the image is finished deploying, the target device reboots and starts Windows. The Sysprep process will start and initialize the new image.
