Intel VROC requires the server boot mode to be set to UEFI Mode.
Intel VROC RAID support is disabled by default. In the pre-OS environment, use UEFI System Utilities to enable Intel VROC and create a
VROC RAID volume. These tasks are not supported in Intelligent Provisioning.
The VROC RAID volume must use drives of the same interface and form factor.
Intel VROC supports RAID management though the following tools:
Non-OS specific: UEFI System Utilities
Windows: Intel VROC GUI, Intel VROC CLI
Linux: mdadm CLI
For more information on Intel VROC features and configuration, see Configuring storage controllers.
Setting up the serverSetting up the server
PrerequisitesPrerequisites
As a best practice, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends installing the latest firmware, drivers, and system software before using the
server for the first time. You have these options:
HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management is an advanced software-as-a-service platform that securely streamlines operations
from edge-to-cloud and automates key life cycle tasks through a unified single browser-based interface. For more information on
using HPE GreenLake for Compute Ops Management , see https://www.hpe.com/info/com-docshttps://www.hpe.com/info/com-docs.
Use the Firmware Update option in Intelligent Provisioning—Intelligent Provisioning is a server deployment tool embedded in HPE
ProLiant servers. To access Intelligent Provisioning, during the server boot process, press F10F10. For more information, see the
Intelligent Provisioning user guide at https://www.hpe.com/info/intelligentprovisioning/docshttps://www.hpe.com/info/intelligentprovisioning/docs.
Download the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) —SPP is a comprehensive system software and firmware update solution that is
delivered as a single ISO image. This solution uses Smart Update Manager (SUM) as the deployment tool.
The preferred method for downloading an SPP is by creating an SPP custom download at
https://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/customhttps://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/custom.
This option reduces the size of the SPP by excluding firmware and drivers for OS and server models that are not needed.
The SPP is also available for download from the SPP download page at https://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/downloadhttps://www.hpe.com/servers/spp/download.
Verify that your OS or virtualization software is supported:

This server supports type-p storage controller options. For onboard storage configuration, use either SATA AHCI (default) or Intel
Virtual RAID on CPU (Intel VROC). If you plan to use Intel VROC, review these important information before setting up the server .
Read the Operational requirements for the server.
Read the safety and compliance information:
