HP Intelligent Provisioning User Guide

If you enable Remote Support, enter the following settings:
• Local Remote Support Server—The hostname or IP address of the Insight RS server. In the
Insight RS software, the Insight RS server is called the hosting device.
• Local Remote Support Server Port—The port number to use. The default port number for Insight
RS is 7906.
For more information about the Central Connect Remote Support requirements, see “Step 3:
Registering for Insight Remote Support” (page 10).
Entering ROM settings
Use the ROM Settings screen to enter ROM-level settings.
1. If this Deployment Settings package might be used to reprovision a server already in use,
consider whether to reset the server to its default settings before applying the settings in the
Deployment Settings package. For stability reasons, the Standard Boot Order and the PCI
Device enable/disable settings are not cleared.
If you choose to keep the existing settings, the settings in the Deployment Settings package
that differ from the existing settings are used to modify the existing settings.
2. Select the power management package to use. These packages set a basic policy for
performance versus power usage without having to configure individual settings through RBSU
or UEFI System Utilities menus.
A recommended package is displayed, but to change the settings, the options include:
• Balanced Power and Performance
• Minimum Power Usage
• Maximum Performance
For more information about these options, see Quick Configs.
3. Select the boot order.
4. Choose whether to enable SATA devices when they are available.
5. Choose whether to install a Virtual Install Disk (VID) that contains drivers from HP.
When VID is enabled, during the OS installation process, a USB mass-storage device appears
with the name of VID. This drive contains a limited set of storage and networking drivers, so
any required SAS/iSCSI/FCoE adapter can be loaded, in the event that the OS disc does
not have the appropriate drivers. For more information about how to load additional drivers,
see the OS installation guide.
To disable VID at a later time,
a. Reboot the server and press F9 during POST to access RBSU or UEFI System Utilities.
• In the RBSU, navigate to Advanced Options→Advanced System ROM Options→Virtual
Install Disk.
• In the UEFI System Utilities, navigate to System Configuration→ROM-Based Setup Utility
(RBSU)→Advanced Options→Advanced System ROM Options→Virtual Install Disk.
Entering system options
Use the System Options screen to enter basic system settings.
1. Select the user interface and keyboard language.
2. Accept the Intelligent Provisioning EULA.
