Update The Firmware; Configure Hpe Synergy Image Streamer - HPE Synergy 12000 Frame Setup And Installation Manual

Update the firmware

After setting up your HPE Synergy system, update to the latest HPE Synergy Management combination and HPE Synergy
Custom SPP.
Update the HPE Synergy appliance firmware
IMPORTANT: To ensure compatibility, each HPE Synergy Composer installed into an HPE Synergy solution must
be on the same firmware level. Similarly, each HPE Synergy Image Streamer must be on the same firmware level. If
the appliance pair is not on the same firmware level, a reimage of the appliance module with the older firmware
level is required.
If both appliance modules in a redundant pair are on the same firmware version, use HPE OneView to update to the latest
firmware version.
For more information about reimaging the appliance firmware, see Validating HPE Synergy appliance firmware: Preparing
an HPE Synergy appliance for first-time setup on the Hewlett Packard Enterprise website (http://www.hpe.com/info/
synergy-docs).
Add a firmware bundle to the appliance firmware repository
To ensure that your hardware has the latest and most robust firmware bundle that takes advantage of all available
management features, download the latest firmware bundle to your appliance module and add it to the firmware
repository. For more information, see the HPE Synergy Software Release Overview page (http://www.hpe.com/
downloads/synergy) and the HPE Synergy Software Release Information site (http://www.hpe.com/info/synergy-sw-
release-information).
To add a firmware bundle, go to OneView > APPLIANCE > Firmware Bundles.

Configure HPE Synergy Image Streamer

If your solution includes HPE Synergy Image Streamers, additional configuration steps are required. See Quick Start: Initial
configuration of HPE Synergy Image Streamer in the HPE OneView Help for HPE Synergy (www.hpe.com/support/OV-
InitialConfig-IS).
Configuring HPE Synergy Image Streamer
HPE Synergy Image Streamer can be used to deploy OS build artifacts to the Synergy compute modules. However, it must
be installed and configured within HPE OneView.
Procedure
1. Create a management network that is consistent with the HPE OneView management network.
2. Add an IPv4 subnet and address range.
Define the range of IPv4 addresses and subnets to set aside for each Image Streamer appliance in the frame link
topology, plus the number of operating system servers expected to be deployed.
3. Add an OS deployment server for use in HPE OneView to deploy operating systems to managed servers.
4. Create a deployment network to enable operating system deployment to servers using Image Streamer.
5. Create one or more logical interconnect groups to define the connections between Image Streamer appliances and the
servers they will support.
6. Create an enclosure group that includes the Image Streamer configuration.
7. Create a logical enclosure to define the set of frames to which to apply the Image Streamer enclosure group.
