A.3.4 Planning resource names
Searching and filtering in the appliance is based on a smart search model. By embedding
information about the resource in the resource name, you can take advantage of the search and
filter capability. In this example:
•
All uplink set names include the text US.
Example: testUS
•
The names of Direct attach Fibre Channel networks include the text Direct.
Example: Direct A
•
The names of networks, network sets, and uplink sets include text that indicates the purpose
of the network:
Examples
Text used in
names
Network category
prod_1101 , prod networks, prodUS prod production
networks
dev_1105 , dev networks, devUS dev development
networks
test_1111 , test networks, testUS test test networks
A.4 Installing the appliance
For installation instructions, see the HP OneView Installation Guide .
A.5 Provisioning eight host servers for VMware vSphere Auto Deploy
This example demonstrates using the appliance to provision and prepare eight server blades for
use by VMware vSphere Auto Deploy to create a host cluster.
Assumptions
•
The appliance has been installed and the appliance networking settings have been configured,
but no other configuration has been completed.
•
You are adding enclosure 1 and enclosure 2 of the sample data center.
•
The enclosures have embedded licenses.
•
You will add the Ethernet networks and Fabric attach SAN networks described in “Data center
networks” (page 276) .
A.5.1 Workflow
1. “Downloading the latest firmware bundle and adding it to the appliance” (page 281) .
2. “Configuring the networks and network sets” (page 281) .
3. Configuring an enclosure group that captures the Virtual Connect uplink configuration in its
logical interconnect group:
a.
“Creating a logical interconnect group and its uplink sets” (page 286) .
b. “Creating an enclosures group” (page 293) .
4. “Adding the enclosure” (page 293) .
5. “Viewing the server hardware types” (page 294) .
6. “Creating a server profile to use as a template” (page 295) .
This server profile includes a firmware baseline, the BIOS settings for the profile, and the
network connections required for vSphere host servers in the sample data center.
