5 Responses to How to create an HP Firmware Maintenance CD and SmartStart USB Stick. Smart Component execution not supported at this time in Server Virtualized. Can't install laserjet pro p1102w printer, usb error, please help? All you have to do is try all the other usb ports in the pc and autoplay will start again.
I was looking into this yesterday, I got the USB mounted and seeing the contents of the USB stick. I can't remember what I did, but try something along the lines of the following (requires some understanding of Linux); When you get to the point of browsing the USB files, press and hold CTRL+ALT then F1, hit RETURN and a prompt should appear. Type 'cd /mount', then 'ls' - This should show you how the USB key is mounted. Probably a symbolic link named USB0 or USB1. Make a note where it is pointing to, again probably '/mnt/bootdevice' something or another. Type 'mount' and hit return - this should show you what '/mnt/bootdevice' is mounted to, maybe something like '/dev/sdb1'.
Whatever it is, make a note of it. Make a directory in '/mount', e.g 'mkdir test' - then type 'mount /dev/sdb1 test', depending what /dev/sdb1 was in the last bit. If you then go back to the smartstart installation by pressing and holding CTRL+ALT, then pressing F2 - then hit RESCAN and 'test' should now appear and you can browse it. This isn't a solution as such, although may work - but is more to help someone figure out what is wrong!
I've looked at the permissions of the symlink, but nothing completely obvious - However, I have only spent 5 minutes on this.
HP ProLiant servers and blades are a mainstay in the data center. The market leader for some years with good reason, ProLiant technology represents a remarkably stable continuum of server hardware management tools. CDs and DVDs have been used countless times since Compaq ProLiant days to accelerate and standardize server deployments by integrating the right HP drivers and utilities into the OS installation process. No SmartStart for HP Gen8 ProLiant, Windows Server 2012 A hardware migration to the Gen8 ProLiant platform prompted HP to end the SmartStart legacy with version 8.70b (12/2011) being the last media version. HP stated that SmartStart will not be updated beyond version 8.70.
SmartStart will still be available on the web for supported ProLiant G7 and earlier servers through their supported end of life. Since Windows Server 2012 was not an operating system choice in SmartStart 8.70, it won't be possible to use SmartStart to install Windows Server 2012. New Gen8 and later ProLiant servers use a different technique for assisted installation.
There is no media kit included with ProLiant Gen8 products. Game Hp Nokia Modern Perang Dunia 2 here. Replaces SmartStart CDs for ProLiant Gen8 servers. The software that came on SmartStart media is now embedded on a flash chip on ProLiant Gen8 servers and Gen8 server blades. The pre-loaded flash chip is bootable when a user presses the F10 key during server boot (POST). Canon Mp Navigator Ex 4.0 Software Download. The server will then boot to the pre-loaded flash chip and show the Intelligent Provisioning software. New way to provision HP ProLiant: Smart Update Manager (HP-SUM) For everyone that does not have ProLiant Gen8 servers, use the Service Pack for ProLiant (SPP) at to get firmware and software updates, since only Gen8 can use Intelligent Provisioning. You will also need to use the SPP if you are installing Windows Server 2012 on any HP hardware prior to Gen8.
There is also a that includes drivers and software for all ProLiant servers. A common scenario is that you will install Windows Server 2012 on a pre-Gen8 ProLiant manually, that is, without HP software-assisted installation. Then afterwards you will run the SPP and/or Windows Server 2012 Supplement to install the HP hardware integration features.
HP published a 13-page in September 2012 on Windows Server 2012 implementation recommendations, which makes clear that HP supports Windows Server 2012 installation on G7 and Gen8 ProLiant hardware, and also advises which drivers to use and where they are located (SPP or Supplement). Not all ProLiant hardware previous to G7 and Gen8 may be supported by HP drivers and software on Windows Server 2012. Figure A shows the HP Smart Update Manager (HP-SUM) interface running on a freshly installed Windows Server 2012 computer, an older ProLiant G5. HP-SUM will detect the latest editions of the appropriate software and drivers and show whether they are available on the DVD, to download, or in a local repository. This older G5 ended having no driver support for the HP management module, but all other drivers and software installed and worked as expected. HP Smart Update Manager (SUM) locates the latest versions of Windows Server 2012 drivers.
