OS deployment servers resource associations

An OS deployment server is a resource that enables you to deploy (install and configure) stateless operating systems for use by servers. HPE OneView connects to an OS deployment server and configures it for deploying operating systems. An HPE Synergy Image Streamer appliance hosts software used to deploy and customize operating systems for use by HPE Synergy servers.

HPE OneView manages the OS deployment server after it is configured and displays the list of attributes, management settings, the OS deployment plans, and the server profiles that reference the available OS deployment plans.
