HP OneView for VMware vCenter - Manual (Page 32)

Setting the power cost for a cluster
Before entering the power cost settings for a cluster, ensure that the cluster meets the following
requirements:
•
The cluster contains at least one HP ProLiant server or BladeSystem enclosure.
•
The cluster is DRS-enabled.
•
The cluster is configured for DPM.
To determine if the cluster is DRS-enabled, navigate to the vCenter Server Summary tab for the
cluster and review the cluster information.
From the HP Insight Management Administration page, select Server Module Configuration screen
for the cluster, enter the power cost. Entering the power cost for a cluster generates the cost
advantage information, which is displayed for each host on the Cluster detail page.
The Cost Advantage value is calculated as follows:
Cost Advantage = (number of hours the server was down) × (power cost) × (average power)
Entering the Power Cost will only calculate the Cost Advantage if all of the requirements in this
section are applicable for the cluster. If the requirements are not met by the cluster, the cost
advantage is always zero.
Using the Insight Control Deployment Wizard (vSphere Client)
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 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.
To use the HP Insight Control Deployment Wizard:
1.
Navigate to the vSphere Client home page.
2. Under Management, click HP Insight Control Deployment Wizard.
