What is a .provx file?

File Extension Details

A PROVX file is an XML-based configuration file used primarily by Hewlett Packard Enterprise (HPE) server management software, such as HPE Intelligent Provisioning, HPE OneView, and HP Smart Update Manager (SUM). These files contain structured deployment parameters, hardware configuration settings, firmware update instructions, and provisioning scripts used to automate the setup, installation, and deployment of HPE ProLiant servers. Because they are formatted in standard XML, they can be opened, read, and edited using any basic text editor or XML editor. However, they are specifically designed to be consumed by HPE's proprietary deployment tools to ensure consistent, automated, and error-free server provisioning across large-scale enterprise data center environments. They help administrators replicate server configurations quickly and reliably.
