Provision the Target Servers

Once the custom configuration is created, it is listed on the HP-UX Provisioning APX on the SA Client. The target server waiting at the network boot prompt is listed under the unprovisioned servers list on the HP-UX Provisioning APX. The following section describes how to provision the targets.

HP-UX Provisioning APX

Progress Bar with Status Message
Once the provisioning job starts, two different progress bars are displayed. The consolidated progress bar displays the average percentage of progress on all servers being provisioned. It also displays the average percentage of jobs finished with the job start time.
The progress bar for each of the servers being provisioned shows the percentage of provisioning complete with Server Name, MAC address, Status, and Status Message details. The % Complete and Status Message are updated along with the progress of the provisioning job.
Progress Bar with Status Message Remediate Software Policies
