Expanding the system

Prerequisites to expanding the HC380 system

When adding an expansion system, you can use the OneView InstantOn utility to add one or more nodes
at a time, up to a 16-node configuration, and configure a computer to access the system.
Before you begin the expansion, ensure that the following prerequisites are complete:
•
You have completed the preinstallation worksheet
•
The 1Gb and 10Gb switches are configured for IPv6.
•
The switches and additional appliance nodes have been racked and cabled correctly.
•
If you use the VDI configuration and you purchased an expansion node with nVIDIA Tesla M60
GPUs, ensure that you have licensed and installed the nVIDIA Tesla M60 GPUs. For more
information, see "Licensing and installing nVIDIA Tesla M60 GPUs (on page 34)."
For more information, see "Configuring the system (on page 32)."

IMPORTANT: If you installed CloudSystem, do not use these steps to expand your system.
Use the steps in "Expanding CloudSystem (on page 69)."
IMPORTANT:
• Verify that your management VM contains the folder
C:\ProgramData\Hewlett-Packard\StoreVirtual\InstantOn\PostDeployment. Contact
Hewlett Packard Enterprise Support if it does not.
• While HP OneView InstantOn is running, do not run anything else on the system including
running Windows Update and configuring proxies.
• Do not run HP OneView InstantOn while performing an HPE LeftHand OS upgrade.
• Tool tips and error information are available when you hover in a text box on a screen in HP
OneView InstantOn. The information might take a few seconds to display.
• The HP OneView InstantOn version shown in the figures in this document may be different
from what is installed on your system. The content of the screens is the same.
• To navigate through HP OneView InstantOn, you can click Next, or click a location in the
left navigation pane. The information that you enter on a screen is automatically saved and
you can go back to that screen and change or add information.
• If the system seems unresponsive, do not attempt to restart it. If processing is occurring,
allow it to complete.
