Intelligent Provisioning

Intelligent Provisioning is a single-server deployment tool embedded in ProLiant Gen8 and later servers that
simplifies ProLiant server setup, providing a reliable and consistent way to deploy ProLiant server
configurations:
• Intelligent Provisioning assists with the OS installation process by preparing the system for installing "off-
the-shelf" and Hewlett Packard Enterprise branded versions of operating system software and integrating
optimized ProLiant server support software.
• Intelligent Provisioning provides maintenance-related tasks using the Perform Maintenance window.
• Intelligent Provisioning provides installation help for Microsoft Windows, Red Hat and SUSE Linux, and
VMware operating systems. For specific OS support, see the Intelligent Provisioning Release Notes on the
Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
For more information about Intelligent Provisioning software, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
For Intelligent Provisioning recovery media downloads, see the Resources tab on the Hewlett Packard
Enterprise website. For consolidated drive and firmware update packages, see the Smart Update: Server
Firmware and Driver Updates page on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.

Insight Diagnostics

The Insight Diagnostics is a proactive Server Blade management tool, available in both offline, and online
versions. The Insight Diagnostics provide diagnostics and troubleshooting capabilities to assist IT
administrators who verify Server Blade installations, troubleshoot problems, and perform repair validation.
The Insight Diagnostics Offline Edition performs various in-depth system and component testing while the OS
is not running. To run this utility, boot the Server Blade using Intelligent Provisioning.
The Insight Diagnostics Online Edition is a web-based application that captures system configuration and
other related data needed for effective Server Blade management. Available in Microsoft Windows and Linux
versions, the utility helps to ensure proper system operation.
For more information or to download the utility, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website. The Insight
Diagnostics Online Edition is also available in the SPP.

HPE Insight Diagnostics survey functionality

HPE Insight Diagnostics provides survey functionality that gathers critical hardware and software information
on ProLiant Server Blades.
This functionality supports operating systems that are supported by the Server Blade. For operating systems
supported by the Server Blade, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
If a significant change occurs between data-gathering intervals, the survey function marks the previous
information and overwrites the survey data files to reflect the latest changes in the configuration.
Survey functionality is installed with every Intelligent Provisioning-assisted Insight Diagnostics installation, or it
can be installed through the SPP.

Erase Utility

CAUTION:
Perform a backup before running the Erase Utility. The utility sets the system to its original factory state,
deletes the current hardware configuration information, including array setup and disk partitioning, and
erases all connected hard drives completely. Before using this utility, see the instructions in the
Intelligent Provisioning User Guide.
