c. Scroll to Administrator Info Text and make the following edits:
•
For Admin Name, enter the name of the server administrator responsible for all servers
that will use this server profile (for example Sanjay Bharata).
•
For Other Text, enter See company directory.
d. Click OK to save the edits and close the dialog box.
The Create Server Profile dialog box displays the BIOS settings whose values differ from
the default values.
8. Under Advanced, ensure that Virtual is selected for Serial Number/UUID, MAC addresses,
and WWN addresses.
Selecting Virtual for these settings provides flexibility because the appliance assigns these
numbers and addresses. For example, when you assign this server profile to a server bay in
an enclosure, any server hardware inserted in that server bay uses the same serial number,
MAC address, and WWN address. Therefore, you can replace the server hardware without
affecting other resources (such as interconnects).
9. Click Create to create the server profile and close the dialog box.
The
master pane of the Server Profiles screen lists the profile you created. If you select a server
profile in the master pane, the appliance displays information about that server profile in the
details pane.
A.5.9 Copying the template server profile to four servers
In this procedure, you will copy the server profile you created to use as a template and assign the
profile to four servers.
1.
In the master pane of the Server Profiles screen, select vSphere Template.
2. Copy the vSphere Template server profile and assign the profile to a specific instance of
server hardware:
a.
Select Actions
→Copy.
The Copy vSphere Template dialog box opens. All of the configuration information for
this profile, except for Name, is obtained from the profile you are copying.
b. For Name, enter vSphere01.
c. For Server hardware, select Search for another, and then select Encl1, bay 11.
d. For Firmware baseline, select the firmware bundle that was included with the appliance.
e. Click Create.
The appliance validates the parameters and the server hardware is booted using the HP
Intelligent Provisioning environment embedded in the iLO management processor of HP
ProLiant Gen8 servers.
3. Copy the vSphere Template server profile and assign it to the other three servers:
Server hardware Name
Encl1, bay 12 vSphere02
Encl1, bay 13 vSphere03
Encl1, bay 14 vSphere04
