Intel vPro Processor Technology Setup and Configuration for the HP Z1, Z210, Z420, Z620 and Z820 Workstations

a. Host Name. Hostnames can be used in place of the system’s IP for any
applications requiring the IP address.
Default setting: (None)
Recommended setting: (User dependent)
Note that spaces are not accepted in the Host Name. Make sure there is
not a duplicate host name on the network. Hostnames can be used in
place of the system’s IP for any applications requiring the IP address.
b. Domain Name. The domain name is blank by default. If it is not
populated, then the default domain of “Provisionserver” will be used when
connecting to a Setup and Configuration Server.
If the name of the S&CS is not “Provisionserver” and the domain name is
blank, then an alias must be set up in the DHCP server to redirect the
connection for “Provisionserver” to the proper S&CS domain name.
If the domain name field is populated, then that will be the domain used.
However, if there is no response after four DNS queries to the named
domain, then that domain name will no longer be used and the default
“Provisionserver” will be used.
Default setting: (None)
Recommended setting: (Network dependent)
c. Share/Dedicated FQDN. This setting determines whether the Intel ME Fully
Qualified Domain Name (FQDN) (i.e. the "HostName. DomainName") is
shared with the host and identical to the operating system machine name
or dedicated to the Intel ME.
Default (and recommended) setting: Shared
d. Dynamic DNS Update.
Default (and recommended) setting: Disabled
If Dynamic DNS Update is enabled then the firmware will actively try to
register its IP addresses and FQDN in DNS using the Dynamic DNS
Update protocol. If DDNS Update is disabled then the firmware will make
no attempt to update DNS using DHCP option 81 or Dynamic DNS
update. If the DDNS Update state (Enabled or Disabled) is not configured
by the user at all then the firmware will assume its old implementation
where the firmware used DHCP option 81 for DNS registration but did not
directly update DNS using the DDNS update protocol. For selecting
“Enabled” for Dynamic DNS Update it is required that the Host Name and
Domain Name must be set.
When DDNS Update option is enabled, the MEBx menu will display
“Periodic Update Interval” and “TTL” options.
— Periodic Update Interval: Enter a desired interval from
20 to 1440 minutes
— TTL: Enter desired time in seconds
