Configuring HP ProLiant systems with Windows PE 11
1.
STARTDEPLOY.CMD is a script file that is executed by STARTNET.CMD in Windows PE. Edit the
STARTDEPLOY.CMD file to modify the environment variables to match the locations of the utilities
and data files specific to your deployment infrastructure. You must customize this file for your
environment. In the following example, bold lines indicate information that must be modified for your
environment.
The STARTDEPLOY.CMD file is similar to the following:
rem @echo off
REM
REM This is the first Script called from Startnet.cmd stub in the WinPE
REM
REM Make sure that the network is fully started...
REM Sometimes it requires a bit of time
ipconfig
REM Map a drive to the share you are working from.
REM If none ignore this step and set the drive letter in
REM the following statements to appropriate drive

net start sysmgmt
REM Call the first Script

echo Done!
2. If needed, modify the SERVERDETECT.CMD file for your specific environment. This file is provided in
the samples subdirectory. SERVERDETECT.CMD does not accept any arguments. It runs the
HWDISCOVERY utility to determine the server type and then executes a typical deployment script
(DEPLOYSERVER.CMD).
3. Edit the DEPLOYSERVER.CMD file for your specific environment.
NOTE: The IFHW and HWQUERY utilities can be used to assist in customizing the DEPLOYSERVER.CMD
script for your environment. For more information about these utilities, refer to the HP SmartStart Scripting
Toolkit Linux and Win32 Editions User Guide.
The DEPLOYSERVER.CMD file is similar to the following:
rem @echo off
cls
echo [ SCRIPT FOR REMOTE INSTALL OF W2K3 ON TYPICAL SERVER ]
pause
echo Retrieving State Information...
%Tools%\System\statemgr /r phase
if errorlevel 3 goto State3
if errorlevel 2 goto State2
if errorlevel 1 goto State1
