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: 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
•
ClearOS
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/info/ossupport).

Scripting Toolkit for Windows and Linux
The STK for Windows and Linux is a server deployment product that delivers an unattended automated installation for
high-volume server deployments. The STK is designed to support ProLiant servers. The toolkit includes a modular set of
utilities and important documentation that describes how to apply these tools to build an automated server deployment
process.
The STK provides a flexible way to create standard server configuration scripts. These scripts are used to automate many
of the manual steps in the server configuration process. This automated server configuration process cuts time from each
deployment, making it possible to scale rapid, high-volume server deployments.
For more information or to download the STK, see the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website.
