Server provisioning (vSphere Web Client)
When using the vSphere Web Client, the Server Module for vCenter can be used to perform server
provisioning. This involves establishing communication with the HP server provisioning server and
then using the Server Provisioning wizard.
Connecting to the HP provisioning server
Communication must be established with the HP server provisioning server before HP Insight
Management can be used for server provisioning.
1.
Access the HP Insight Management Administration page.
2. Select Configure Deployment in the left pane.
The Configure Insight Control Server Provisioning page is displayed.
3. Enter the Host Name or IP Address of the HP server provisioning server.
4. Enter a valid Username and Password.
The user must have the necessary access privileges.
5. Click Save.
Running the Server Provisioning wizard
Server provisioning is done using the Server Provisioning wizard.
1.
Start the Server Provisioning wizard using one of the following methods:
•
In the left pane right-click on a cluster or a Datacenter and then select HP Insight
Management
→HP Insight Control server provisioning
•
In the left pane select a cluster or a Datacenter and then select Actions
→HP Insight
Management
→HP Insight Control server provisioning
The Server Provisioning wizard opens.
2. Select the job plan and the target servers where the ESXi image will be installed, and click
Next.
The Configure VMware Host Management Interfaces screen is displayed.
3. Enter the credentials and the network configuration information for each host, and click Next.
The credentials are used to communicate with the host after the image has been installed on
the server to add the host to the cluster or datacenter. Where the host is added is determined
by the object selected when the wizard was launched. For example, if a cluster was selected,
the host will be added to the cluster. If a Datacenter was selected, the host will be added to
the Datacenter.
