Hi,

update the HPE Intelligent Provisioning to the latest version.

Hi Sirs,

We have the same problem as the TS.

After numerous restart, we were able to see windows setup but encountered another issue. A pop-up windows shows "Setup was unable to create a new system partition or locate an existing system partition..." then when press Ok, it goes back to the same error x:\windows\system32......

 Aside to Initial Provisioning, we are using the latest version 3.20

Many thanks,

HI

This error is seen on the server during the installation or after the first boot after installation.Reset or Flash the BIOS.

If the BIOS is corrupted, update BIOS firmware to latest version.

If issue is still persists on the server, use different Operating System ISO and Flash or update the HPE Intelligent Provisioning to the latest version..

I work for HPE.

Cheers

HP please fix this

Have same issue with a DL360 and Win S 2019, problem seems to be generated from script calling wpeinit.exe which ends with

exit /b 0

Windows is helpful here...
C:\WINDOWS\system32>exit /?

Quits the CMD.EXE program (command interpreter) or the current batch
script.

EXIT [/B] [exitCode]

/B specifies to exit the current batch script instead of
CMD.EXE. If executed from outside a batch script, it
will quit CMD.EXE

exitCode specifies a numeric number. if /B is specified, sets
ERRORLEVEL that number. If quitting CMD.EXE, sets the process
exit code with that number.

Has anyone found a workaround?

In the Perform maintenance ... go to BIOS/Platform

1) Inside this ---reset the BIOS and again install the OS

Thanks to pmetal from me too!

I had the same error on a Microserver Gen10 Plus. I overwrote the Inteligent Provisioning V3.50 with an older version 3.45 and it worked for me. I could install Windows Server 2019.

[OFred]

Thanks ! Furthermore, I had to reset the smart array in the same menu, which was not very convenient..
Note that DL 360 gen 8 with IP 1.72 + Bios 05/2019 + iLO 2.77 + SmartArray firmware 8.32 supports very well "unofficially" Windows server 2019.

For those who still have the problem with Intelligent Provisioning version 3.50 and below, HP has released a "critical" patch that updates the intelligent provisioning to 3.62. This fixes the problem.

Also, ensure that the IOMMU is disabled  at the time  you do the install / .... 

From the System Utilities screen, select System Configuration > BIOS/Platform Configuration (RBSU) > Virtualization Options > AMD (R) IOMMU.
