For detailed steps, see "Quick Start: Initial configuration of HPE OneView" in the HPE OneView Help for HPE Synergy
(http://www.hpe.com/support/OV-InitialConfig).
Create a network
IMPORTANT: Define a SAN Manager before creating an FC or FCoE network.
Create networks to define connections that route data across the IT infrastructure. You can create a single Ethernet , Fibre
Channel, or FCoE network or multiple, tagged Ethernet networks at one time.
Before creating networks, be aware of the networking maximums. For more information, see the HPE OneView Support
Matrix for HPE Synergy on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise Information Library (http://www.hpe.com/info/synergy-
docs).
To create a network, go to OneView > NETWORKING > Networks.
Create a logical interconnect group
One or more logical interconnect groups are associated with an enclosure group and are used to define the logical
interconnect configuration for every enclosure that is using that enclosure group.
To create a logical interconnect group, go to OneView > NETWORKING > Logical Interconnect group.
Define an enclosure group
NOTE: For solutions that include HPE Synergy Image Streamer, create the HPE Image Streamer cluster in Deployment
Servers before creating the enclosure group.
NOTE: Uploading a firmware bundle before creating a logical enclosure is recommended. However, you can choose to add
a firmware bundle later, in step Add a firmware bundle to the appliance firmware repository.
An enclosure group is a logical resource that defines a consistent configuration for an enclosure or a set of enclosures
making up a logical enclosure. The network connectivity for an enclosure group is defined by the logical interconnect
groups associated with the enclosure group.
An enclosure group can contain up to five enclosures.
To add an enclosure group, go to OneView > SERVERS > Enclosure groups.
Create a logical enclosure
After HPE Synergy frames are discovered automatically during hardware setup, you must manually create a logical
enclosure. The logical enclosure must contain the number of HPE Synergy frames that are connected together with
interconnect link cables. For example, if you have three HPE Synergy frames cabled together, create a logical enclosure
that contains all three HPE Synergy frames.
To create a logical interconnect group, go to OneView > SERVERS > Logical enclosure.
Create a server profile
NOTE: Creating a profile requires access to storage. Configure storage before creating a profile or define a local storage
configuration as part of profile creation.
A server profile is the configuration for a server instance. Server profiles and server profile templates capture the entire
server configuration in one place, enabling you to replicate new server profiles and to modify them to reflect changes in
your data center.
To create a profile, go to OneView > SERVERS > Server Profiles.
