HP ProLiant SCVMM 2012 Integration Kit (v 2013.02.0) User Guide

4 Deploying Hyper-V to ProLiant servers
Hardware configuration
If you need any special hardware configuration beyond the defaults, for example a custom RAID
level, use the appropriate tool such as the Option ROM configuration or an STK utility.
Hyper-V host deployment
Deploying a Hyper-V host to a bare-metal ProLiant server follows the standard SCVMM methodology
– create a host profile and use the Add Resource: Hyper-V Hosts and Clusters wizard to discover
and deploy.
IMPORTANT: On the Credentials and protocol screen, specify a Run As account that has valid
iLO administrator credentials and set Protocol to Intelligent Platform Management Interface (IPMI).
IMPORTANT: Choose a host profile that filters drivers matching a tag instead of PnP IDs. Using
PnP IDs may result in a blue screen.
Post-OS configuration
After deploying the Hyper-V host, use the Update Catalog functionality with the HP ProLiant Updates
Catalog to install other necessary software, such as iLO drivers and agents. Refer to the HP ProLiant
Updates Catalog User Guide for more details.
