– Storage volumes– Available SANs

– Ethernet VLANs– FC networks– Uplink to aggregation layer– Downlinks from Cisco ToR

– Firmware baseline– Local RAID configuration– BIOS and boot order– LAN/SAN Connections (BL only)

Secured via role-based access control

Subject matter experts collaborate to define re-usable HPE OneView infrastructure templates

Templates ensure faster deployments with fewer errors whether it’s 1 system or 100

OV4VC – Profile Driven Deployment

Easily create or expand VMware clusters using HPE OneView

7

OV4VC – Grow Cluster

– Quickly create or extend a VMware cluster in a consistent and repeatable manner

– HPE OneView server profile templates define the physical infrastructure

– Network and Storage connections

– BIOS and boot settings

– Firmware baseline

– OS deployment build plan from either HPE Synergy Image Streamer or HPE ICSP

– Simple wizard adds multiple new hosts simultaneously

– Ensures all hosts in cluster have identical infrastructure configuration

8

OV4VC – Edit Clusters with HPE Synergy Image StreamerFor clusters deployed using Image Streamer

– Patch ESXi images across the cluster

– Specify new Deployment Plan in HPE OneView Server Profile Template

– Updates all cluster nodes in rotating, non-disruptive (to the VMs) manner

– Automatically handles maintenance mode, vMotion, updates, reboots – one host at a time

9

OV4VC – Host and Cluster Consistency Check

10

– Apply recommended actions to fix inconsistencies

– Can be used for non-disruptive firmware updates by specifying new firmware baseline in HPE OneView server profile template

– Check cluster against reference host

– Compares HPE OneView server profile template to actual configuration

Profile inconsistent due to changes in HPE OneView server
