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been outdated since the server was manufactured.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: HPE ProLiant RL3xx Gen 11 platforms do not support Intelligent Provisioning via both F10 and Lifecycle NOTE:
Management.
