4. ©2009 HP Confidential 4 ©2010 HP / Intel / Red Hat restricted 4 Objective and Agenda Objective: To describe how security is managed on Red Hat Enterprise Linux Clients with Intel based HP ProLiant servers Agenda: Definitions Automatic media deployment Automatic network deployment Automatic images deployment

5. ©2009 HP Confidential 5 ©2010 HP / Intel / Red Hat restricted 5 Deployment definition The deployment consists of all the means (both software and hardware) to install and configure firmware, operating system and all needed applications on a computer or a set of computers, minimizing manual interactions and creating an homogeneous and reproduceable setup PXE (Intel): Pre-boot eXecution Environment Allows a PC to boot through the network iLO (hp):Integrated Lights Out Management Card Allows firmware update and management through a dedicated LAN interface Software tools: ether-wake/wol, DHCP server, TFTP server, NFS/FTP server, syslinux/isolinux/pxelinux, kickstart and Satellite (RHEL), MondoRescue

6. ©2009 HP Confidential 6 ©2010 HP / Intel / Red Hat restricted 6 Deployment approaches Automatic system deployment: ● Hardware neutral ● Update process quick ● Distribution dependant ● Installation quick ● Excellent customisation System Images deployment : ● Distribution/OS neutral ● Installation quicker ● Update process longer ● Hardware dependant ● Good customization ● You need BOTH !!
