Updating Intelligent Provisioning over PXE
Hello,
I'm desperated about a problem with the actual version of HP Intelligent Provisioning Update 2.50 over PXE. HP IP does generally supports booting the update image over PXE. With Version 1.50 we have already a PXE bootable version.
So i tried do do it the same with version 2.50. The boot process works fine but im stuck during the update process with the error "Error flashing NVRAM". I've tried days and nights a lot of workarounds but they didnt work for me.
I even tried to boot the iso over pxe i get the same problem.
Here is the boot config for the actual version:
label HPIPP2 MENU PASSWD MENU LABEL HP Intelligent Provisioning 2.50 kernel hp-ip/HPIP250-2016_1015/vmlinuz append initrd=hp-ip/HPIP250-2016_1015/initrd.img media=net rw root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size= init=/bin/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid nopat pnpbios=off usrramfs=1 vga=791 splash=silent showopts noexec32=off numa=off nox2apic edd=off
This is the boot config with the version 1.50 wich actual works:
label HPIPP MENU PASSWD MENU LABEL HP Intelligent Provisioning 1.50 kernel hp-ip/HPIP150-2013/vmlinuz append initrd=hp-ip/HPIP150-2013/initrd.img media=net rw root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size= init=/bin/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid nopat pnpbios=off vga=791 noexec32=off numa=off nox2apic type=automatic splash showopts
And here is the boot entry for the iso file.
label hpipi_iso MENU LABEL HP IP 2.50 ISO kernel memdisk append iso initrd=management/hp-ipp/HPIP250.iso raw
I've tried all on HP Pro Liant 360 G9 and 120 G9. It seems that depends not realy on a specific server hardware.
If i boot the iso file over the ilo and starts the update, then it works. But that is not a pretty solution because in our company we install a lot of new HP server.
Unfortunatly HP doesnt provide a usefull documentation for setting up a functional pxe start of the update packs...
Any ideas?
Thank you

>> It seems that depends not realy on a specific server hardware.
Version 1.x is for Gen8
Version 2.x id for Gen9
The SPP release notes have a chapter about deploying over PXE, I assume it applies to the IP image too.
BTW, you can deploy IP via HPSUM too, a special 'rpm is available for 1.63 and 2.50.
http://downloads.linux.hpe.com/SDR/repo/ip/
Hope this helps!
Regards
Torsten.

Re: Updating Intelligent Provisioning over PXE
Hi Torsten,
thank you. Well, the release notes about the pxe for SPP are quite different. You have to mount the iso as nfs or cifs with pxe. Cifs dont works as well because in the inird the md5 module is missing... So we cannot authenticate with our mirror...
We want it on smb, not on nfs, but thats another case :D

Re: Updating Intelligent Provisioning over PXE
I am trying to use uEFI PXE, and have the same issue.
My current Grub.cfg entry looks like this:
menuentry 'COP1532 HPIP 2.5'{
set gfxpayload=keep
echo Loading kernel...
linux /COP1532/system/vmlinuz media=net iso1=nfs://10.8.28.11:/data/tftpboot/COP1532/HPIP1240.iso ram root=/dev/ram splash quiet video=1024x768
echo Loading ramdisk...
initrd /COP1532/system/initrd.img
}

Re: Updating Intelligent Provisioning over PXE
Hi
I have the same problem with IP 2.70b.
Also discovered that this problem occures while booting USB in legacy mode.
How can i boot IP from PXE and got ride of this "Error flashing NVRAM" message?

Re: Updating Intelligent Provisioning over PXE
I found the solution.
These entry in the PXE-Server works as expected (Legacy-Boot):
# Gen9 Provisioning
label gen9_prov
MENU LABEL ^7. Gen9 Provisioning 2.70b
kernel HP/Prov_270b/pxe/vmlinuz
append initrd=HP/Prov_270b/pxe/initrd.img media=net rw root=/dev/ram0 ramdisk_size= init=/bin/init loglevel=3 ide=nodma ide=noraid nopat pnpbios=off usrramfs=1 vga=791 splash=silent showopts noexec32=off numa=off nox2apic edd=off iso1=nfs://10.200.1.1/daten/tftpboot/HP/Prov_270b/ iso1mnt=/mnt/bootdevice
Have fun! ;-)
