Installing the operating system
To operate properly, the node must have a supported operating system installed. For the latest information on
operating system support, see the HP website (http://www.hp.com/go/supportos).
IMPORTANT: HP ProLiant XL servers do not support operating system installation with Intelligent
Provisioning, but do support the maintenance features. For more information, see the Performing
Maintenance section of the HP Intelligent Provisioning User Guide and online help.
To install an operating system on the node, use one of the following methods:
•
Manual installation—Insert the operating system CD into the USB-attached DVD-ROM drive (user
provided) and reboot the node. You must download the HP Service Pack for ProLiant from the SPP
download site (http://www.hp.com/go/spp/download) and create SPP media so that you can install
the drivers.
•
Remote deployment installation—Use Insight Control server provisioning for an automated solution to
remotely deploy an operating system.
