HP Intelligent Provisioning nightmares

Much like https://supertekboy.com/2013/06/03/hp-intelligent-provisoning-firmware-update-failed/#.VebpBPZVjX8 I am once again unable to get the HP Intelligent Provisioning to apply updates to a brand new HP sever (just a little DL60 this time).

It escapes me just how HP can ship hardware with this kind of problem.  I just want my SmartUpdate DVD back, at least it worked!

Tried static IP addresses, DHCP, separate network interface, different port on the back, nothing works.

Sigh.

[UPDATE: giving up and downloading the HP SP DVD]

[UPDATE: amusingly whilst trying to login to the HP Support site, which doesn't seem to want to work, the server started updating. I had to use the 2nd NIC and specifically go into the provisioning set up to change to that NIC even though it was already selected]
