Windows-specific issues
• Only flat files are supported over FTP. ISO files are not supported.
• A standalone NIC card on the motherboard of the server takes the position of eth0 and eth1, pushing
the embedded NIC to eth2 and eth3.
• After installing Windows, when viewing the Integrated Management Log (IML), the log may not
generate and the following error message may be displayed: No system management driver is
loaded. Suggested action: Use the Run as administrator option to launch the IML Viewer.
• SNMP cannot be installed on HP-branded Windows Server 2008 Combo media using Intelligent
Provisioning. SNMP can be installed on HP-branded Windows Server 2008 R2 Combo media, which
is supported. Suggested action: Upgrade to Windows Server 2008 R2 or install the operating system
manually without Intelligent Provisioning.
• No information is populated on the System Management Homepage after a Recommended installation
on Windows. This is expected behavior because by default only AMS is installed. Suggested action:
To populate the information in the SMH, install WBEM or SNMP agents.
Linux-specific issues
• When using the Manual installation method SUSE Linux Enterprise Server 11 SP3 with an SD card,
the GNU GRUB screen appears, and the OS installation is not completed.
Suggested action: Perform the installation outside of Intelligent Provisioning by installing the DUD
from HPSC. A future upgrade will support the installation using Intelligent Provisioning.
• The system displays an “Unsupported Hardware detected” message when you perform a
Recommended installation of Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.3 on an SD card.
Suggested action: Click OK in the dialog box. The installation will proceed normally and concludes
successfully.
• When using the Recommended installation method for one of the following:
◦ Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.8 or 5.9 with DVD source media
◦ Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.9 with DVD/FTP as source media on a Smart Array (SA) controller
◦ Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.X or 6.3 with an iSCSI media source
◦ a Red Hat OS installation with FTP source mediayou might encounter one of the situations listed:
◦ the installation hangs during reboot and a “The Red Hat Enterprise Linux Server CD was not found”
error appears.
◦ the installation hangs and a “Could not allocate requested partitions” error appears.
◦ the installation does not complete successfully, or
◦ the installation completes successfully even if there are missing flat files for the OS installation.
• Suggested action: To remedy any of the situations above, perform the installation outside of
Intelligent Provisioning by installing the DUD from HPSC.
