2 Best practices This section contains best practices for using HP OneView, intended for new customers. For additional best practices, see the HP OneView documentation, which is available at http:// www.hp.com/go/oneview/docs. 2.1 Installation and initial configuration • Always configure NTP in the HP OneView virtual appliance for accurate time keeping. • VMware vSphere: ◦ • To deploy an .ova file, ensure you are running vCenter Server 5.1 Update 2 or higher.
2.3 Connectivity • Enclosures added to HP OneView cannot be part of an existing VC (HP Virtual Connect) domain. If an enclosure is managed by VC Manager, remove it from the VC domain before adding it to HP OneView. Transitioning an existing infrastructure currently being managed by VC Manager to being managed by HP OneView requires inventory and detailed evaluation of the current environment before you initiate the transition. 2.
2.6 Server profiles 10 • Before assigning server profiles to server blades in an enclosure, ensure that in-progress tasks on the enclosures or server hardware, such as add, refresh, and firmware updates, have completed successfully. • Place server profile PXE boot connections on FlexibleLOM 1-1:a (primary PXE boot connection) and FlexibleLOM 1-2:a (secondary PXE boot connection), which is the default performed by the auto option.
3 Known limitations The following are known limitations for using HP OneView. 3.1 Appliance upgrade • Deleting local users can adversely affect subsequent backup and restore operations. After upgrading to v1.10, attempting to delete local user accounts can fail intermittently with the message “500 Internal Server Error”. Once this error occurs, any subsequent attempts to backup and restore the appliance onto the same virtual machine will fail.
3.2 Installation and initial configuration • Microsoft's Hyper-V Manager Networking tab reports a status of: Degraded (Integration services update required). This is a known issue and expected behavior for non-Windows virtual machines and this message can be safely ignored. For additional details, refer to Microsoft's Knowledge Base article 2956569: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/2956569/EN-US 3.
