5If you have a ProLiant system you first need to get the Smart Start Scripting Toolkit, and the hponcfg and hpacucli packages. Due to licenses issues, mindi cannot provide those tools itself. You need to get them from http://www.hp.com/servers/sstoolkit and http://downloads.linux.hp.com/SDR/downloads/ProLiantSupportPack/
6
7Mindi expects to find those tools under /usr/sbin as described in the deplist.d/ProLiant.conf configuration file. Here are the steps to set it up correctly:

40 Second parameter is the configuration directory of the file deplist.d/ProLiant.conf is located]

43If you're making a backup with mondoarchive on a ProLiant system that you want to be able to restore using the Virtual Media function of ProLiants, then you have to ensure that the required drivers will be available at restore time.
44In order to ensure that, you may want to do on 2.2.x (x < 5) versions:
45- Edit your /usr/sbin/mindi script
46- Look for declaration of the variable FORCE_MODS.
47- Change it to FORCE_MODS="usb-storage sr_mod"
48
49Those drivers will then be available at restore time, and your virtual media thus detected and supported.
50As the CD-ROM emulated is a USB one, it will be a slower restore than using a real CD, or the network, but can be an easy way to load the mindi boot image e.g. and launch the rest of the restore through the network.
51
52With latest versions of mindi, those modules are already included and you don't have to do anything to have it work.
