Intelligent ProvisioningIntelligent Provisioning

Intelligent Provisioning is a single-server deployment tool embedded in ProLiant servers and HPE Synergy compute modules. Intelligent

Provisioning simplifies server setup, providing a reliable and consistent way to deploy servers.

Intelligent Provisioning prepares the system for installing original, licensed vendor media and Hewlett Packard Enterprise-branded versions

of OS software. Intelligent Provisioning also prepares the system to integrate optimized server support software from the Service Pack for

ProLiant (SPP). SPP is a comprehensive systems software and firmware solution for ProLiant servers, server blades, their enclosures. The

same solution for HPE Synergy compute modules is now called SSP (Synergy Service Pack). These components are preloaded with a basic

set of firmware and OS components that are installed along with Intelligent Provisioning.

IMPORTANT:IMPORTANT:

HPE Synergy 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been outdated since the server was manufactured.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 and enter Intelligent Provisioning .

From the iLO web interface using Lifecycle Management. Lifecycle Management allows you to access Intelligent Provisioning without

rebooting your server.

NOTE:NOTE: HPE ProLiant RL3xx Gen 11 platforms do not support Intelligent Provisioning via both F10 and Lifecycle

Management.

IMPORTANT:IMPORTANT:

Although your server is preloaded with firmware and drivers, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends updating the

firmware upon initial setup. 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:NOTE:
