Process
Description Task Resource
•
When you add the enclosure, specify an existing enclosure group.
•
When you add an enclosure, you also must select a firmware baseline
and a licensing option.
•
For more information about enclosures, see “Managing enclosures and
enclosure groups” (page 131) , the online help for the Enclosures screen,
or the REST API scripting help for enclosures.
1. Add the enclosure. Enclosures
For a server blade to connect to a data center network, it must have a server
profile assigned to it, and that server profile must include a connection to
either the network or a network set that includes the network:
• If there is an existing server profile that matches how you want the server
hardware configured, you can copy that server profile and assign it to
the server hardware.
•
Otherwise, you must create or copy and modify a server profile that
includes at least one connection to the network or a network set that
contains the network.
•
Server profiles contain much more configuration information than the
connections to networks. For more information about server profiles, see
“Managing servers and server profiles” (page 111) , the online help for
the Server Profiles screen, or the REST API scripting help for server
profiles.
2. Do one of the
following:
• Create a server
profile and assign
it to the server
hardware.
• Copy a server
profile and assign
it to the server
hardware, then
modify it as
necessary.
3. Power on the server
hardware.

11.3 Scenario 2: Defining network connectivity before the enclosure is
added
In this scenario, you configure the logical interconnect group, including its uplink sets, and the
enclosure group before you add the enclosure. After you define those configurations, the process
is the same as adding an enclosure to an existing enclosure group.
For a step-by-step illustrated example of this scenario, see “Provisioning eight host servers for
VMware vSphere Auto Deploy” (page 238) .
Prerequisites
•
Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Server administrator.
•
The hardware configuration of the enclosure interconnects must match the configuration
expected by the logical interconnect group that you create.
•
All data center switch ports that connect to the VC (Virtual Connect) interconnect modules are
configured as described in
“Data center switch port requirements” (page 115) .
•
The networks and network sets, if any, have been added to the appliance. To add networks
or network sets, see
“Quick Start: Adding a network to an existing appliance environment”
(page 95) or “Managing networks and network resources” (page 115) .
•
See “Prerequisites for bringing an enclosure under management” (page 131) for prerequisites
and preparation you must complete before you add an enclosure.
•
See “Prerequisites for bringing server hardware under management” (page 112) for prerequisites
and preparation you must complete before you add a server.
