Preparing to Install and Configure the HPE Converged Architecture 700
with Nimble Storage
Preparing to Install and Configure the HPE Converged
Architecture 700 with Nimble Storage
The Configuration Worksheet
Appendix A: Configuration Worksheet
in this deployment guide. Before beginning the deployment of an HPE Converged Architecture 700 with
Nimble Storage, ensure that the configuration worksheet is completed with the correct and validated values.
You are free to expand the configuration worksheet to suit your needs.
Fully Qualified Domain Names Versus IP Addresses
All components that are deployed with the HPE Converged Architecture 700 with Nimble Storage must have
correct forward and reverse domain name system (DNS) entries in the network DNS server. This guide
assumes that the site where the HPE Converged Architecture 700 with Nimble Storage will be deployed
already has a DNS server and that the server configuration will be modified to accommodate the HPE
Converged Architecture 700 with Nimble Storage. You can also deploy and configure a DNS server specifically
for use with this solution; however, the deployment steps for a DNS server are not covered in the guide.
Throughout the guide, when you are asked to enter the IP address of a component, you can, most of the
time, use the DNS name or the fully qualified domain name (FQDN) of the component instead. Although you
can use just IP addresses, HPE recommends that you use DNS names whenever possible. The solution
requires a valid DNS server with host name entries for every component even if you use only IP addresses.
HPE Resources for Automation Efforts
This deployment guide covers the manual steps that are required to build a verified configuration of the HPE
Converged Architecture 700 with Nimble Storage. The guide covers no automation, except the automation
that is built into products; for example, HPE OneView for VMware vCenter Enhanced Grow Cluster.
Libraries (such as REST, Python, Java, and PowerShell libraries) that you can use for automation efforts are
available for most of the components of the HPE Converged Architecture 700 with Nimble Storage. You can
use these resources to streamline deployments.
