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 FlatSAN.
Example: FlatSAN 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
For information about what to consider when choosing resource names, see “Planning resource
names” (page 238) .
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 of the sample data center.
•
The enclosure has embedded licenses.
•
You will add the Ethernet networks and Fabric attach SAN networks described in “Data center
networks” (page 233) .
A.5.1 Workflow
1. “Downloading the latest firmware bundle and adding it to the appliance” (page 239) .
2. “Configuring the networks and network sets for a typical vSphere Auto Deploy
environment” (page 239)
.
3. Configuring an enclosure group that captures the VC uplink configuration in its logical
interconnect group:
a.
“Creating the logical interconnect group” (page 244) .
b. “Creating an enclosure group for vSphere (ESXi) hosts” (page 248) .
4. “Adding the enclosure” (page 249) .
5. “Viewing the server hardware types” (page 249) .
