IMPORTANT: HPE ProLiant XL servers do not support operating system installation with Intelligent
Provisioning, but they do support the maintenance features. For more information, see "Performing
Maintenance" in the Intelligent Provisioning User Guide and online help.
After the server is running, you can update the firmware to install additional components. You can also
update any components that have been outdated since the server was manufactured.
To access Intelligent Provisioning:
• Press F10 from the POST screen.
• From the iLO web interface using Always On. Always On allows you to access Intelligent
Provisioning without rebooting your server.
Intelligent Provisioning operation
Intelligent Provisioning includes the following components:
• Critical boot drivers
• Active Health System (AHS)
• Erase Utility
• Deployment Settings
IMPORTANT:
• Although your server is pre-loaded with firmware and drivers, you should update the firmware
upon initial setup to ensure you have the latest versions. Also, downloading and updating the
latest version of Intelligent Provisioning ensures the latest supported features are available.
• For ProLiant servers, firmware is updated using the Intelligent Provisioning Firmware Update
utility.
• Do not update firmware if the version you are currently running is required for compatibility.
NOTE: Intelligent Provisioning does not function within multihomed configurations. A multihomed host is
one that is connected to two or more networks or has two or more IP addresses.
Intelligent Provisioning provides installation help for the following operating systems:
• Microsoft Windows Server
• Red Hat Enterprise Linux
• SUSE Linux Enterprise Server
• VMware ESXi/vSphere Custom Image
Not all versions of an OS are supported. For information about specific versions of a supported operating
system, see the OS Support Matrix on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/
