Hi community,
I'm trying to provision a Server 2012 R2 core with drivers from latest SPP. The server is ML150 Gen9. Since the OS has not yet a NIC driver the only way seems to be to use virtual media and attach a folder, which contains the baseline for the system. But I'm not able to reach my goal. Launching "hpsum /silent" from that mapped folder (it's drive D: in the server) gives, after 10 minutes of working , an error message: The storage is writeprotected (something like this). I tried copying the baseline folder from remote workstation to the server, but since ILO over a shared port is extremely slow this is not an option - after 30 minutes of copying I stopped that.
Of course the usual way of provisioning a system with drivers via HPSUM-GUI does not work on a core system, theres no browser. Using "Intellignet Provisioning" (pressing F10 at boot) does not fit neither, because it does not allow for sizing the OS partition to a reasonable size (minimum size IP allows is about 160GB!).
How can a core system be equipped with drivers?
Thanks for a hint,
Stefano
