RESTful Interface Tool
The RESTful Interface Tool (iLOrest) is a scripting tool that allows you to automate HPE server management
tasks. It provides a set of simplified commands that take advantage of the iLO RESTful API. You can install
the tool on your computer for remote use or install it locally on a server with a Windows or Linux Operating
System. The RESTful Interface Tool offers an interactive mode, a scriptable mode, and a file-based mode
similar to CONREP to help decrease automation times.

Intelligent 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, and HPE
Synergy compute modules. These components are preloaded with a basic set of firmware and OS
components that are installed along with Intelligent Provisioning.
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any components that have been outdated since the server was manufactured.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 browser user interface using Always On. Always On allows you to access Intelligent
Provisioning without rebooting your server.
