1 Introduction The HP ProLiant SCVMM 2012 Integration Kit provides the following for SCVMM: • Drivers for deploying ProLiant servers as Hyper-V host machines This release contains: • SCVMM 2012 R2 support • Windows Server 2012 R2 x64 / WinPE 5.0 x64 support • HP Service Pack for ProLiant 2014.02.0 Windows Server drivers This version of the kit introduces a new PowerShell script for installation and uninstallation.
2 Support matrix Supported System Center products and target operating systems The kit can be installed on the following versions of SCVMM and can deploy the following operating systems: Host OS \ SCVMM SCVMM 2012 SP1 SCVMM 2012 R2 Windows Server 2012 Windows Server 2008 R2 SP12 Windows Server 2008 R2 SP12 Windows Server 2012 Windows Server 2012 Windows Server 2012 R21 Windows Server 2012 R2 Windows Server 2008 R2 SP12 Not supported Windows Server 2012 Windows Server 2012 R2 Restrictions: • Mus
3 Installing and configuring Installing 1. 2. 6 Ensure that the following prerequisites are met: • The server meets the requirements detailed in the Support Matrix. • The logged in user has administrator level privileges. 3. On the SCVMM management server, start the installation from the HP Insight Control for Microsoft System Center image by executing autorun.exe. Click Install, and then click HP SCVMM 2012 Integration Kit. Click Accept. 4.
8. Execute .\hpproliantscvmmkit-install.ps1. When installing, a library share must be passed into the script, either as LibraryShare object or the complete qualified UNC path of the share. When upgrading, no parameter is necessary. For complete usage details, use get-help .\hpproliantscvmmkit-install.ps1 The install script removes the existing drivers (if necessary), copies the new drivers, tags the new drivers, and copies the uninstall script. The installation log is named hpproliantscvmmkit.
4 Deploying Hyper-V to ProLiant servers Hardware configuration If any special hardware configuration is needed beyond the defaults, for example a custom RAID level, use the appropriate tool such as the Option ROM configuration or an STK utility. Hyper-V host deployment Deploying a Hyper-V host to a bare-metal ProLiant server follows the standard SCVMM methodology – create a host/physical computer profile and use the Add Resources: Hyper-V Hosts and Clusters wizard to discover and deploy.
5 Deploying ProLiant firmware and software updates The ProLiant Updates Catalog provides the latest firmware and software from the SPP. The catalog can be used with SCUP and the SCVMM Updates Catalog to keep ProLiant servers up to date. For more details, see HP ProLiant Updates Catalog User Guide. IMPORTANT: Applying the catalog updates to newly deployed servers ensures that the iLO drivers get completely installed, additional drivers and utilities get installed, and existing drivers get updated.
6 Troubleshooting Some drivers fail to be injected into the boot image One of the reasons this might occur is that a driver is signed with a newer driver signing method than that which DISM and the operating system support. In that case, the driver is treated as an unsigned driver and is not injected into the boot image. For example, when running SCVMM 2012 R2 on Windows Server 2012, some Windows Server 2012 R2 drivers cannot be injected into an x64 boot image.
