Windows-specific issues
• Issue: The Volume License installation does not complete when you use the Recommended
installation method to install Windows 2008 R2. The following error message is displayed during
installation, “Windows cannot read the <ProductKey> setting from the unattend answer file.”
Suggested action: Use the Manual installation method for Windows 2008 R2 if you encounter
this error. Not all Volume License media present this problem.
• Issue: During a Microsoft Windows Server 2008 R2 installation, the operating system does not
install successfully on a Fibre Channel over Ethernet (FCoE) configured set up on Emulex-based
cards.
Suggested action: Perform the installation outside of Intelligent Provisioning. Use a USB key
containing the FCoE drivers, which are found on the HP website at: http://h20566.www2.hp.com/
portal/site/hpsc/template.PAGE/public/psi/swdDetails/?lang=en&cc=US&switem=co_103269_1.
Linux-specific issues
• Issue: Cannot perform Linux installations on SD cards in UEFI Boot Mode or Legacy BIOS Boot
Mode on HP ProLiant DL580 Gen8 servers.
Suggested action: Linux installations on SD cards are not supported on UEFI-based ProLiant servers,
such as the DL580 Gen8 server, at this time.
• Issue: While performing any SUSE Linux Enterprise Server OS installation through Intelligent
Provisioning, kISO is not supported.
Suggested action: Do not use SUSE Linux Enterprise Server kISO for any SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server installation. Intelligent Provisioning does not support kISO. Only use SUSE Linux Enterprise
Server Base OS image.
