Over the weekend, I had a successful first attempt at installing Windows 2003 remotely using HP's Integrated Lights-Out (ILO) advanced features functionality. The target server was an ML370 G4. Nlite ( View image ) was used to create a Windows Server 2003 ISO image integrated with the appropriate ML370 G4 raid (SA 6400) and NIC (NC7781) drivers. The ISO was then uploaded to a staging server on the same network as the target server. The target server ILO interface was accessed from the staging server where the uploaded Server 2003 ISO image was then connected as virtual media ( View image ). I was then able to boot the target server from the virtual CD image and begin the install. Although the initial file copy and overall setup took longer than normal, the install completed without any issues.
