Using bootable media

The Menu program runs when the bootable media is started. The graphical version of the Menu program runs in the interactive mode or the unattended mode. Users can select the function to be used in interactive mode.

Before starting bootable media, when you select to use the ISO boot media or the PXE boot media, do one of the following based on the boot media you selected:

To use the ISO boot media, burn the ISO image onto a CD or DVD, or mount the ISO image to a server by using the virtual media function in CMM, BMC, or other equivalent functions.
To use the PXE boot media, complete the following steps:
1. Copy the files in the PXE directory (including grub.cfg, img3a, img2a, LiveOS/squashfs.img, pxelinux.0, 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. Check if the PXE boot server and TFTP boot server are running.

Note

If the media to be started is not the first or second media in the boot order list, press F12 to select the media.
To perform updates through BoMC, Lan-over-USB should be enabled; otherwise, BoMC will automatically enable Lan-over-USB, and then compare the installed firmware with the firmware repository on disk.
