Installation instructions
HP ProLiant Gen8 servers are pre-loaded with a basic set of firmware and operating system components
that are installed with Intelligent Provisioning. Once the server is running, use the Intelligent Provisioning
Firmware Update utility to update any components that have been outdated since the server was
manufactured.
Installation instructions are documented in the HP Intelligent Provisioning User Guide.
Installation notes
Windows Small Business Server 2011: If you see the message The Username or Password is
incorrect, click OK and enter the same Password entered with the OS Product Information.
Windows and VMware: Only flat files are supported over FTP. ISO files are not supported.
An embedded NIC card on the motherboard of the server takes the position of eth0 and eth1, pushing
the LOM to eth2 and eth3.
Known issues and suggested actions
HP strongly recommends that the resolutions listed in this document be applied accordingly to instructions
in the resolution documents. Failure to do so might result in issues that can cause disruption to the
operation and functionality of HP ProLiant servers. This list is updated as new issues are discovered
and resolved.
Operational issues
• HP SUM might unexpectedly shut down while installing drivers and software during an assisted
installation.
Suggested action: Re-try the installation.
• An FTP path with spaces or punctuation does not work.
• If a device is not updated through the Firmware Update Utility, use the SPP to update remaining
devices.
Suggested action: Use HP SUM to update the component from the SPP.
• When performing an OS installation with no logical drives present, the installation fails and the
server reboots. On the Hardware Settings screen, if Recommended Settings is selected, but there
are no logical drives, there is no error indicating that the installation will fail.
Suggested action: Create logical drives through Array Configuration Utility before proceeding
with OS installation.
• Some drivers are not included in Intelligent Provisioning, including those for the following adapters:
