Installing the operating system for Gen8 servers 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 HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/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.) • Remote deployment installation-Use Insight Control server deployment for an automated solution to remotely deploy an operating system. For additional system software and firmware updates, download the HP Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) from the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/spp/download). The Smart Update Firmware DVD ISO is also available at the download tab on the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/foundation). For information on using these installation methods, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/ilo). Installing the operating system for G7 servers To operate properly, the server must have a supported operating system installed. For the latest information on supported operating systems, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/supportos). Methods to install an operating system on the server include: • SmartStart assisted installation-Insert the SmartStart CD into the DVD-ROM drive and reboot the server. • Manual installation-Insert the operating system CD into the DVD-ROM drive and reboot the server. You might have to obtain additional drivers and firmware from the SPP download site (http://www.hp.com/go/spp/download).
