Using iLO Federation with HP Intelligent Provisioning
Intelligent Provisioning is a single-server deployment tool embedded in HP ProLiant Gen8 servers
that replaces the SmartStart CDs and Smart Update Firmware DVD used with previous generations
of HP ProLiant servers. Intelligent Provisioning simplifies HP ProLiant server setup, providing a
reliable and consistent way to deploy HP ProLiant servers.
When iLO Federation is configured, you can store Intelligent Provisioning server profiles on the
network. If a profile is stored by a server that is managed by an iLO Federation group, you can
install the same profile on any other managed server in the same group. Select the profile on the
Deployment Settings page, as shown in
. This streamlines the deployment
process because you do not need to connect a USB key containing the profile to each new server.

NOTE:
The menu item for iLO Federation lets you see how this feature is designed to work, but
does not let you get profiles from the network.
