HP Intelligent Provisioning 1.30 Release Notes

• When saving ACU logs, if the iLO LUN partition is selected, the logs are not accessible.
Suggested action: Do not save logs to this partition.
• For Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V installations, the installation fails if the Windows standard
option is selected in the OS Information screen.
Suggested action: When installing Windows Server 2012 Hyper-V, be sure to select the Windows
Hyper-V option as the OS in the OS Information screen.
• When reading the Intelligent Provisioning EULA, clicking URLs on Ancillary software screen results
in a Server not found error.
Suggested action: Reboot the server and press F10 to access Intelligent Provisioning. Do not click
any links on the Ancillary software page. To access the desired website, on a system with access
to the Internet, copy the link into a web browser.
• When running a deployment with OS settings, it stops at Browse for OS files. When
selecting System Info or Help, the screen is blank.
Suggested action: Reboot the server.
• The Local Repository option in the Update From field of the Deployment Settings Firmware Options
trait is the same as the HTTP/FTP (Use URL Syntax) option in the System Software update field of
Intelligent Provisioning Preferences. Both options are Firmware Update URL options.
Windows-specific issues
• When doing a recommended or custom installation of Windows Datacenter Core editions, the
system reboots after successfully copying Intelligent Provisioning and operating system files. After
Windows initializes, the Administrator account is not available. This issue also occurs with Windows
Server 2008 SP2 x64-bit Hyper V, Enterprise x64 Edition Core, and Windows Server 2008 SP2
x64bit Hyper V, Standard x64 Edition Core.
Suggested action: After installing Windows Datacenter Core editions, log into the Administrator
account with a blank password. In this mode, you will see only a command line (cmd) page.
• The Windows Small Business Server 2011 (base) operating image is too large for a FAT32 format
USB flash drive.
Suggested action: Instead of using a flash drive, use real media, do a network installation via
ISO, or mount virtual media through iLO.
• SNMP cannot be installed on HP-branded Windows Server 2008 Combo media using Intelligent
Provisioning. SNMP can be installed on HP-branded Windows Server 2008 R2 Combo media,
which is supported.
Suggested action: Upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 or install the operating system manually
without Intelligent Provisioning.
• When installing Windows Server 2008 SP2, the recommended and custom installation methods
require a product key and will not proceed without it.
Suggested action: Have the product key available during the installation in case it is needed.
• No information is populated on the System Management Homepage after a recommended
installation on Windows. This is expected behavior because by default only AMS is installed.
Suggested action: To populate the information in the SMH, install WBEM or SNMP agents.
• When installing Windows Server 2008 R2 SP1, Network Configuration Utility (NCU) is
automatically installed. If NCU is installed, you cannot enable Hyper V. You should ideally enable
