OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter

Running The Deployment Wizard

The Deployment Wizard steps you through the bare metal server deployment process of:

  • Selecting undeployed servers.

    When you deploy hypervisor, you can deploy to an Internal Dual SD Module with a minimum of 1 GB of storage. The Internal Dual SD Module must be enabled from the BIOS before you deploy the hypervisor with the OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter.

  • Using a deployment template (hardware and hypervisor profiles combination).
  • Setting up global settings. This page lets you choose to deploy hypervisor to a hard disk or Internal Dual SD Module.
  • Assigning identification to the deployed servers.
  • Matching a desired connection profile to each server.
  • Scheduling the server deployment jobs to run.
  • Displaying the Job Queue where you can manage deployment jobs.
NOTE: If you’re deploying a hardware profile only, then the new Global Settings, Server Identification, and Connection Profile pages are skipped and you go directly to the Schedule Job page.
NOTE: For trial/evaluation license, you can use Deployment wizard as long as license is not expired.
