Creating Profile Templates for the HPE ProLiant BL660c Gen9 Servers

Before creating a template profile for an HPE ProLiant BL660c Gen9 blade, you must wait until the enclosure
with the HPE ProLiant BL660c Gen9 servers is fully imported into HPE OneView.
If an HPE ProLiant BL660c Gen9 server has two LOMs and additional NIC or CNA mezz cards, the connection
for the Mgmt_A and the Mgmt_B management networks should be on LOM2. The HPE OneView for vCenter
plugin does not support the use of Mgmt_A on multiple NICs because it causes deployment failures.
