17. After the server completes it’s POST, the server will be automatically instructed to boot into Intelligent Provisioning to

apply the SPP Baseline.

18. Once the firmware update has completed, the server’s Power State will change to Off. You are now able to install the

OS on your server.

Create Assigned Profile: One-Off Server Profile

1. Select the main menu option in the upper left, and choose Server Profiles.

2. Once on the Server Profiles screen, select the Create Profile button.

3. Provide a name for the Server Profile.

4. In the Server Hardware field, you will select the Enclosure Name and Bay ID that the profile will be assigned to, and the

Firmware Baseline (SPP). The firmware update will occur prior to the Server Profile being applied to the server.

Note

HP OneView does not currently support Server Profile inheritance. E.g. 1:Many Profile Assignment.

5. Add the needed Network Connections by clicking the Add Connection button, and either assign a Network or Network

Set to the Connection.

A. You can specify which FlexNIC to assign the Network Connection to, or leave it at the default of Auto. Auto will

apply the same Network Connection to Adapter mapping Virtual Connect does today.

6. Modify any of the other settings, Boot, BIOS, or Advanced.

7. Click Create or Create+ if you wish to create additional Server Profiles. Server profiles can only be assigned to servers

that are powered off.

Add New Blade to Enclosure (Optional)

In this section, you will need to insert a new blade into the enclosure. This will help you verify that a new blade is

automatically discovered in the enclosure by HP OneView. When a new blade is inserted into the enclosure, the Onboard

Administrator will register a Blade Insertion event, which will be forward to the HP OneView console. A discovery task will be

created, which HP OneView will attempt to configure the iLO for management.

1. Insert new blade into enclosure.

2. Navigate to the Enclosures Top Level Menu.

3. Examine the Device Bays panel to validate the new blade appears in the appropriate bay.

4. Once the new blade has been discovered, assign it a Server Profile.
