Performing an unattended installation of Windows® XP 35
— Add to the [GuiRunOnce] section
[GuiRunOnce]
"%systemdrive%\HP_Install\Driver_Software_Install2.cmd"
The above entry will run the install script "Driver_Software_Install.cmd" (see Appendices) that
will install drivers and software at first login after install.
— Add to the [WindowsFirewall] section
[WindowsFirewall]
Profiles = WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall
[WindowsFirewall.TurnOffFirewall]
Mode = 0
In the above firewall example, the Windows® firewall is disabled see the Windows®
documentation on firewall settings). In practice, HP does not recommend disabling the
Windows® firewall unless another firewall is in use. See "Configuring the operating system
(on page 20)" for recommended firewall settings.
b. Windows® XP Pro x64
— Add to the [Unattended] section:
Plug and Play driver location:
OemPNPDriversPath="\\%SERVERNAME%\RemInst\%INSTALLPATH%\$OEM$\textm
ode;Drivers\HP_NULL_IPMI;Drivers\HP_SmartArray_E200i_SAS;Drivers\In
tel_chipset;Drivers\ "
For both Windows® XP-32 and Windows® XP-64, the path for the NVIDIA driver is
intentionally omitted. Because the workstation blade contains two video controllers, the
workstation makes the NVIDIA driver primary during the install, and if Remote Console Mode
is in Setup Mode, the screens go black. This change occurs because the iLO Remote Console
and Local I/O Connector displays are controlled by the ATI controller, and are deactivated if
NVIDIA is the primary controller. The NVIDIA driver is installed later in the installation
process and activated before switching to User Mode.
The ATI drivers that are downloadable from the workstation blade software and drivers web
page are not Microsoft® signed. If you do not to use the unsigned drivers, the default VGA
driver in the operating system is loaded. Remove the ATI lines in the driver path to prevent
the ATI driver from loading.
