After an upgrade from 7.2 Update 2, duplicate scripts from 7.2 Update 2 are still visible in the
appliance.
In 7.2 Update 2, there was a known issue where some scripts were duplicated and appeared
twice. These scripts are still visible even after an upgrade to 7.3 Update 1.
During an upgrade, the following scripts are duplicated in the script page:
• Create Windows system drive
• Prevent WIM file overwrite
• Remap windows drives
• Unmap network drive
• Validate customer attributes
• Validate ImageX package contents
Suggested action
To verify that you have selected the proper script for your Build Plan, open the Build Plan and click
on the name of the script you want to verify. Then, look at the general section of the Overview
page. If the revision of the script is 2, then you have selected the unwanted copy. Go back and
select the other instance from the list.
After updating server provisioning appliance, Settings UI page may display DHCP error.
If your Insight Control server provisioning appliance is not providing DHCP service at the start of
an update (such as when using an external DHCP server), the message The DHCP settings
do not conform. The network specification is missing. may appear on the
Settings page after the update is complete.
Suggested action
To resolve this error, navigate to the Edit DHCP page, and select None for the Service provided
by appliance setting.
Limitations
Important information about WinPE versions and OS support
Beginning with this 7.3 Update 1 release, the Windows service OS can be either WinPE 4.0 or
WinPE 3.x. The version of WinPE your server boots affects what version of Windows can be
installed on that server. See the Insight Control server provisioning Installation Guide located at
HP Insight Control for critical information regarding this new support model.
Because of this new support model, the new Validate WinPE Version step was created and added
to Windows 2008 and 2008 R2 Build Plans to verify that the server is running WinPE 3.x before
attempting the OS installation. A failure in this step indicates that you are running the wrong version
of WinPE for the Build Plan.
Forcing a server to PXE boot
By default, when booting to a service OS, a ProLiant Gen8 or newer server boots to the embedded
Intelligent Provisioning service OS. However, there may be times when you want to force the server
