Installing the operating system for
Gen8 servers
The ProLiant Gen8 blades do not ship with provisioning media.
However, ProLiant Gen8 blades are preloaded with the media to
manage and install the system software and firmware.
To operate properly, the blade must have a supported operating
system. For the latest information on operating system support, see
the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website
(http://www.hpe.com/info/supportos).
To install an operating system on the blade, use one of the following
methods:
Intelligent Provisioning—The iLO Management Engine is a
new feature on ProLiant blades that contains Intelligent
Provisioning for embedded deployment, updating, and
provisioning capabilities. Intelligent Provisioning can configure
the blade and install an operating system, eliminating the need
for SmartStart CDs and Smart Update Firmware DVDs.
To install an operating system on the blade with Intelligent
Provisioning (local or remote):
a. Ensure network connectivity and power on the blade.
b. Through a remote control session, during server POST,
press the F10.
c. Complete the initial Preferences and Registration portion of
Intelligent Provisioning.
d. At the Home screen, click the Configure and Install
button.
e. Follow the on-screen prompts to finish the installation. (To
update the firmware and systems software, an Internet
connection is required.)
