Using bootable media

You can use the Menu program to select which tools to include with Bootable Media Creator bootable media, such as DSA or UXSPI.

About this task

The Menu program can be run from a graphical user interface or from a text user interface.

Procedure

  1. Select one of the following options:
    • To use the bootable ISO image, you must burn the ISO image onto a CD or DVD or mount the ISO image to a server using the virtual media function in BladeCenter Advanced Management Module (AMM), IMM, or Remote Supervisor Adapter (RSA) II card, or another equivalent function.
    • To use the bootable PXE files, complete these steps:
      1. Copy the PXE files (pxelinux.cfg/default, img3a, img2a, pxelinux.0, tcrootfs, bsb1.lss, bsb.msg and tc.zip) to the content directory on the TFTP server.
      2. Configure the PXE boot server to use pxelinux.0 as the boot file.
      3. Verify the PXE boot server and Trivial File Transport Protocol (TFTP) boot server are up and running.
  2. Optional: If the device you want to boot from is not first or second in the boot order, press F12 to select a device.
  3. If the --autorun option was not specified when the bootable media was created, from the Menu, select a tool to manually start. When the selected tool is ready, the Menu for the graphic user interface or interactive text-user interface is displayed.
  4. Click Exit to close the Menu program. The targeted system shuts down if it is PXE booting or performing an unattended update, otherwise it reboots.
