Setup prerequisites
Complete the following setup prerequisites if you have not already done so:
• Create an ESX cluster.
• Add ESX hosts to the ESX cluster.
• Properly connect the storage system and hosts in SAN and verify that they belong to the correct fabric.
• Configure a single Brocade Network Advisor to manage the fabric.
• Verify that the storage ports and HBA ports that are used by this service template belong to the fabric.
• When allocating volumes in VSM, add all required resources such as LDEV ID and host group ID to
the VSM resource group.
• Register the Configuration Manager REST API in Automation Director.
• Register the VMware vCenter Server in Automation Director.
• Register the Brocade Network Advisor in Automation Director.
• When you select the maintenance mode checkbox, check the DRS setting. If DRS is disabled, the task
of entering maintenance mode is not completed until all virtual machines that are running on a host are
shut down or moved to other hosts manually. If DRS is enabled, virtual machines are moved
automatically by DRS.
• Verify that no virtual machines are running on a host that resides on the datastore:
◦ Verify that the Storage DRS does not manage the datastore.
◦ Verify that the Storage I/O Control is disabled for the datastore.
◦ Verify that the datastore is not used by vSphere HA Heartbeating.
• Verify that the ESXi host boot image is stored on host's local disk.
• Register the storage system in Configuration Manager REST API.
NOTE: When you use https to talk with Web Service Connections you must first import certificates for
Web Service Connections and import certificates into the Java trust store. Detailed information is provided
in the HPE XP7 Automation Director Installation and Configuration Guide.
