13 Quick Start: Adding an HP ProLiant DL rack mount server
This quick start describes the process for adding a rack mount server.
The features supported by the appliance vary by server model. For information about the features
supported for HP ProLiant DL servers, see
“Server hardware features supported by the appliance”
(page 111) .
For an illustrated example of this task, see “Step by step: Configuring an example data center
using HP OneView” (page 231) .
Prerequisites
•
Minimum required privileges: Infrastructure administrator or Server administrator.
•
The server is connected to a live power source.
•
See “Prerequisites for bringing server hardware under management” (page 112) for prerequisites
and preparation you must complete before you add a server.
Process
Description Task Resource
•
When you add a server, you must provide the following
information:
◦
The iLO IP address or host name
◦
The user name and password for an iLO account with
administrator privileges.
◦
A license type to use for the server hardware.
For more information about server hardware, see
“Managing servers and server profiles” (page 111) , the
online help for the Server Hardware screen, or the REST
API scripting help for server hardware.
•
If this server configuration differs from the other servers in
the appliance, the appliance automatically adds a server
hardware type for this model.
•
Because this is a rack mount server:
◦
You cannot use this appliance to provision any
networks for this server.
◦
Server profiles are not supported.
◦
The features supported by the appliance vary by server
model. For information about the features supported
for HP ProLiant DL servers, see
“Server hardware
features supported by the appliance” (page 111) .
1. Add the server using the
Server Hardware screen or the
REST APIs for the
