HP OneView 1.05 User Guide

◦ Examples of network names that follow the recommended naming conventions include
the following:
dev_1105_A
prod_1102_1
test_1111_left
◦ If you plan to use multi-network connections in server profiles, create network sets that
contain all the networks to be used by a single profile connection. Choose names such
as the following:
dev_nset_A
prodnset_1
testns_left
◦ Changing the names of uplinks sets can result in resources being taken offline temporarily
(see “Configuration changes that require or result in resource outages” (page 89)). To
minimize the need for name changes, and make the uplink sets easier to identify, choose
names such as the following:
devUS_A
prodUS_1
testUS_left
• The appliance does not support the filtering of resources, such as server hardware, based on
physical location (data center name). To enable filtering by data center name, choose a
naming convention that includes the data center name in the resource name.
• The appliance supports the filtering of resources by model, so you can search for server
hardware without having to include the model number in the name.
• The appliance provides default names for many resources. For example:
Enclosures are assigned the name Encln, where n is a number that is incremented by
1 as each enclosure is added.
◦
◦ enclosure_name-LI is the default name of a logical interconnect, where
enclosure_name is the name of the enclosure.
◦ Datacenter 1 is the name assigned to the data center when you initialize the appliance.
◦ Server hardware types are assigned names based on the server model, such as BL460c
Gen8 1. If you select a server hardware type as a standard, you can choose to rename
that server hardware type to include the word Standard or some other identifier to help
administrators quickly determine the correct server hardware type to choose.
• You can create shorter names by using abbreviations for resources. For example:
Typical abbreviationsResource name
EnclEnclosure
EG, GroupEnclosure group
LILogical interconnect
LIGLogical interconnect group
