HP OneView for VMware vCenter - Manual (Page 38)

Using the Insight Control Deployment Wizard
The HP Insight Control Deployment Wizard facilitates the deployment of the ESXi image using RDP
by providing a drag-and-drop interface to deploy ESX/ESXi from the vSphere .Net Client. You can
also add the newly created hosts to a cluster or datacenter.
Prerequisites
Before using the wizard, you must have installed the following:
•
HP Insight Control for vCenter
•
HP RDP from the HP Insight Rapid Deployment website .
NOTE: You must use the RDP-configured IP that was provided during the RDP installation.
•
HP SIM
•
HP Deployment Connector (included with Insight Control for vCenter)
NOTE: If you try to use the HP Insight Control Deployment Wizard without installing the
Deployment Connector, the wizard prompts you to download and install it. Follow the on-screen
instructions.
The Deployment Connector installer is also available in the install
directory\uim\static\bin
directory.
You must also create a job folder and use the RDP console to copy (drag and drop) corresponding
ESX/ESXi images into that folder before you use Insight Control for vCenter deployment.
