Intelligent Provisioning prepares the system for installing original, licensed vendor media and Hewlett Packard Enterprise-
branded versions of OS software. Intelligent Provisioning also prepares the system to integrate optimized server support
software from the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP). SPP is a comprehensive systems software and firmware solution for
ProLiant servers, server blades, their enclosures, and HPE Synergy compute modules. These components are preloaded
with a basic set of firmware and OS components that are installed along with Intelligent Provisioning.
IMPORTANT: HPE ProLiant DX/XL servers do not support operating system installation with Intelligent
Provisioning, but they do support the maintenance features. For more information, see "Performing Maintenance" in
the Intelligent Provisioning user guide and online help.
After the server is running, you can update the firmware to install additional components. You can also update any
components that have been outdated since the server was manufactured.
To access Intelligent Provisioning:
• Press
F10 from the POST screen and enter either Intelligent Provisioning or HPE Rapid Setup Software.
• From the iLO web interface using
Always On. Always On allows you to access Intelligent Provisioning without
rebooting your server.
Intelligent Provisioning operation
NOTE: Intelligent Provisioning 3.40 and later requires iLO firmware version 2.10.
Intelligent Provisioning includes the following components:
• Critical boot drivers
• Active Health System (AHS)
• Erase Utility
• Deployment Settings
IMPORTANT:
• Although your server is preloaded with firmware and drivers, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends updating
the firmware upon initial setup. Also, downloading and updating the latest version of Intelligent Provisioning
ensures the latest supported features are available.
• For ProLiant servers, firmware is updated using the Intelligent Provisioning Firmware Update utility.
• Do not update firmware if the version you are currently running is required for compatibility.
NOTE: Intelligent Provisioning does not function within multihomed configurations. A multihomed host is one that is
connected to two or more networks or has two or more IP addresses.
Intelligent Provisioning provides installation help for the following operating systems:
• Microsoft Windows Server
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
• VMware ESXi/vSphere Custom Image
