HP OneView for VMware vCenter - Manual (Page 49)

Recommended actions are included for configuring the server profile and VMware host network
based on network preference and Virtual Connect/OneView networks.
•
The Server Profile Status indicates whether the Virtual Connect/OneView profile for this
host matches the profile of the reference host.
If the Server Profile Status is Mismatch, then a mismatch in the Server Profile Status and
Host Network Status can be corrected by triggering a host network configuration using
Apply Recommended Action.
•
The Host Network Status indicates whether the host network configuration with regard to
its Virtual Connect/OneView profile is correct.
If the Virtual Connect/OneView profile status is OK, then a mismatch in the Host Network
Status can be corrected by triggering a host network configuration using Apply
Recommended Action.
•
The Host Network Configuration Status is a combination of both the above status
indicators.
NOTE: The host network configuration process automatically turns the host off before
modifying the Virtual Connect/OneView profile of the selected host. When the host network
configuration process is complete, the host is turned back on.
3. Click Apply Recommended Actions.
Confirmation screen is displayed which lists all the networking configuration changes that will
be done. Review the changes that will be made.
4. Click Apply to perform the actions.
Once the changes are applied, the final status is shown in the news feed section. To view
progress updates, access the Tasks page under HP Management.
NOTE:
•
Host network configuration can fail on hosts having VMs running on them. The status and task
details are shown under tasks for the host. HP OneView for vCenter does not move the VMs
before performing host network configuration. The cluster on which the host resides must be
DRS enabled to handle VM movement automatically, or the VMs must be manually moved
from the host before attempting host network configuration for the host.
•
If host network configuration fails after the host is put into maintenance mode, the host remains
in maintenance mode and is not added back into the cluster. If this occurs, view the task details
to determine the cause of the failure and resolve the issue manually (typically a vCenter/host
configuration modification). The host configure operation should then be retried so the host
is configured correctly and added back into the cluster.
Setting a reference host in a cluster
The reference host for a cluster identifies the host whose Virtual Connect/OneView Profile is
considered as the reference configuration when comparing all the hosts in the cluster.
