Trying to install Windows 2012 R2 on a new ProLiant server using Intelligent Provisioning.
Using SSA I created a RAID 5 array.
IP wants to install the OS on the full drive, I want to create a 150GB partition to install the OS on and use the rest as a data volume.
I can't find anywhere in IP either in tools or the OS install process where I can specify disk partitions.
Am I missing something here?
Thanks!

Use the HP Smart Storage Administrator utility from the Intelligent Provisioning "Maintenance" menu.
Delete your logical drive. Create a Logical drive of the size and RAID level you wish. I don't recommend RAID5, but feel free to do that. Make the size 150GB.
From there, create a new logical drive to fill the remaining space.
Now, you can run your Intelligent Provisioning Windows installer and point it to the 150GB block device.
