![]() Unfortunately, PXELINUX suffers from a complete lack of support for UEFI. Prior to HPE Proliant Gen 9 servers, I would PXE boot the Proliant Service Pack using PXELINUX and mount the ISO via NFS. I generally just rely on booting the HPE Support Pack for Proliant (SPP) to update firmware, use a USB key with a scripted ESXi install on it for installing ESXi, and utilize WDS to install Windows directly on my Proliants when required. Therefore, I usually don’t deploy these tools to help install OSes or update firmware at my smaller client sites. HPE offers some great tools for managing their servers, but unfortunately for smaller organizations, most of HPE’s management tools (and I’m looking squarely at you Insight Control and OneView) take more time to setup and get running correctly then the time you’ll save by installing / updating a small handful of servers manually. ![]() Most of my customer sites consist of one to four HPE Proliant D元xx servers running VMware ESXi and an additional HPE Proliant D元xx running Windows 2012 R2 / 2016. ![]()
