HP OneView for VMware vCenter - Manual (Page 41)

actions are included for configuring the VMware host network based on the network preference
and Virtual Connect networks.
•
The Virtual Connect profile status indicates whether the Virtual Connect profile for this
host matches the profile of the reference host.
If the Virtual Connect profile status is Mismatch, the required changes need to be made
using the Virtual Connect Manager to ensure that the Virtual Connect profile of this host
matches that of the reference host.
•
The Host Network Status indicates whether the host configuration with regard to its Virtual
Connect profile is correct.
If the Virtual Connect profile status is OK, then a mismatch in the Host Network Status
can be corrected by triggering a host configuration using the Apply Recommended Action.
•
The overall status is a combination of both the above status indicators.
NOTE:
•
Ensure that the Virtual Connect profile status for each host in the cluster is OK. If it is not,
you will need to modify the Virtual Connect profile (ethernet connections section) for that
host using the Virtual Connect Manager interface to match the Virtual Connect profile
configuration of the reference host. This will ensure that the same set of networks is
available on both the hosts.
•
The host configure option should be triggered only after the Virtual Connect profile for
the host matches the reference host.
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 Insight 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. Insight Control 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 Profile is considered as
the reference configuration when comparing all the hosts in the cluster.
