| 3 | Some Hardware Manufacturers such as HP provide tools to store the Hardware configuration of their systems, such as the BIOS setup, the RAID setup, ...
|
|---|
| 4 |
|
|---|
| [2648] | 5 | mrmini has a script able to store the Hardware configuration and those parameters may be restored before launching mondorestore during the boot phase computed by mrmini, in order to re-setup the machine as the original one.

| [1761] | 6 |
|

| 7 | For the moment, only HP Proliant systems are supported. If you have tools to allow support for other type of machines, feel free to contribute patches to that script.
|

| 8 |
|

| [2648] | 9 | If you have a Proliant system you first need to get the Smart Start Scripting Toolkit. Due to licenses issues, mrmini cannot provide those tools itself. You need to get them from http://www.hp.com/servers/sstoolkit

|

| [2648] | 11 | mrmini expects to find those tools under /usr/local/bin as described in the deplist.d/proliant.conf configuration file. Here are the steps to set it up correctly:

| [1832] | 31 | You're now ready to check your configuration by running:
|

| [2648] | 32 | mrmini-bkphw /var/cache/mrmini /etc/mrmini
|

| [1832] | 33 | [First parameter is the directory where files will be generated,
|

| 34 | Second parameter is the directory of the file proliant.files is located]
|

| [1761] | 35 |
|
|---|
| [1832] | 36 | For these tools to work you may have to install additional packages such as hpasm and hprsm from the HP Web site, as well as some libstdc++ compatibility packages (compat-libstdc++-33 and compat-libstdc++-296 on RHEL 5 e.g.)
|
|---|
| 37 |
|
|---|
| [1761] | 38 | In order to have a working hponcfg binary you also need to install the hprsm/hpasm packages from HP Web site. Refer to http://welcome.hp.com/country/us/en/support.html?pageDisplay=drivers
