Configure Composer2 using zero touch provisioning with SSDP

You can use Simple Service Discovery Protocol (SSDP) to determine the HPE OneView management URL.

Procedure
  1. Make an SSDP query in the following format from the same network as the HPE Synergy Composer2.

    IPv4 query format:

    
M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1
Host: 239.255.255.250:1900
Man: "ssdp:discover"
ST: ssdp:SynergyComposer2

    Sample response to IPv4 SSDP query: 

    
NOTIFY * HTTP/1.1
HOST:239.255.255.250
NT:ssdp:SynergyComposer2
NTS:ssdp:alive
USN:<enclosure-serial-number>|<synergy-composer2-serial-number>|<MAC-address>
LOCATION: https://<IP-address-of-composer>

    IPv6 query format: 

    M-SEARCH * HTTP/1.1
HOST: ff02::c:1900
MAN: "ssdp:discover"
ST: ssdp:SynergyComposer2
    Sample response to IPv6 SSDP query: 
    NOTIFY * HTTP/1.1
HOST: ff02::c
NT: ssdp:SynergyComposer2
NTS: ssdp:alive
USN: <enclosure-serial-number>|<synergy-composer2-serial-number>|<MAC-address>
LOCATION: https://<IP-address-of-composer>
    All newly installed Composer2s (where the network settings have not been applied) respond with their IP address.
  2. Filter the result from the response to get the IP address.
    The response from the Composers also contains the enclosure serial number, the Composer2 serial number, and the MAC address.
    NOTE: It is not mandatory to have a Dynamic Host Configuration Protocol (DHCP) server on the network. If a DHCP IP address is leased to the Composer2, the SSDP response contains the DHCP address. If no DHCP server is available, the SSDP response contains the auto-generated IPv6 address of the Composer2.
  3. Use the IP address to access the appliance through an API or external browser.
  4. Perform the steps to complete FTS.
  5. Configure the network settings.
    Once the network settings are configured, hardware discovery is automatically triggered. The Composer2 SSDP server shuts down after the network setup.
