HP Insight Control Server Provisioning 7.3 Update 1 Build Plans Reference Guide

 EncryptedAdminPassword – Administrator password in encrypted form. Refer to the HP Insight Control Server

Provisioning online help on how to create an encrypted password.

 SystemDrive – Drive label for the system drive the operating system is installed

 SystemDiskNumber – Physical drive number for the system drive the operating system is installed. This

custom attribute is not meant to be set by the end user. It is set automatically during build plan execution and

is used to make sure the Windows installer does not install to the Intelligent Provisioning flash drives. During

re-provisioning, this value might be left over from a previous installation and cause the install to fail. Deleting

the custom attribute before running the build plan solves this.

ProLiant SW - Install Linux SPP

ProLiant SW - Install Windows SPP

Installs the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) on a Windows or Linux production target server.

By default, the entire SPP will be installed on the server, including firmware. Options can be passed to the Install Linux

SPP, Install Windows SPP, or Install Windows SPP In Background step that can control what gets installed. See the HP

SUM User Guide for information regarding what options are available.

Beginning with IC server provisioning release 7.3.1, the ProLiant SW - Install Windows SPP build plan will reset the agent

to account for NIC drivers or firmware that may have been updated; hence, causing the connection to be temporarily

broken between the target server and the appliance. An additional Wait for SA Agent step was added before the Reboot

step.

Requirements:

 HP ProLiant server with iLO and running a production operating system

 IC server provisioning Media Server must contain a SPP

Custom Attributes: None

ProLiant SW – Intelligent Provisioning Firmware Update

Updates the Intelligent Provisioning firmware of a ProLiant Gen8 or newer target server.. The server will be PXE booted

into the Linux service OS, the firmware will be updated, and the server will be rebooted into the Intelligent Provisioning

Linux service OS to complete the update. The firmware will be updated to latest version available on the media server or

the IPversion custom attribute may be defined for a specific version.

IMPORTANT: This build plan must PXE boot the target server, as updating the Intelligent Provisioning firmware while

booted to an Intelligent Provisioning service OS is not supported.

Requirements:

 HP ProLiant Gen8 server or newer

 IC server provisioning Media Server must contain Intelligent Provisioning media

 Network must support PXE boot

Optional Custom Attribute:

 IPversion – Intelligent Provisioning firmware version in the form of x.xx, for example 1.60, and aligns with the

Intelligent Provisioning directory on the media server. "latest" may be specified which will automatically select

the latest version on the media server by sort order. This is the default value.

ProLiant SW - Offline Firmware Update

Updates the firmware using the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP).

IMPORTANT: With IC server provisioning 7.3.1, this build plan will only run when the target server is booted to the

Intelligent Provisioning service OS available on ProLiant Gen8 or newer servers. Attempts to run this build plan on target

servers prior to Gen8 or on servers that are PXE booted will result in a failure of the build plan with an appropriate

message.
