Operating system deployment

Server profiles and enclosure groups make it easier to prepare a bare-metal server for operating system deployment.

For example, you can use server profiles in conjunction with deployment tools such as:

  • HPE Insight Control server provisioning to install an operating system on the server.
    NOTE:

    HPE Insight Control server provisioning supports provisioning on HPE ProLiant G7, Gen8, and Gen9 servers. For ProLiant Gen10 servers, write out recommends using tools like VMware AutoDeploy.

  • HPE OneView for VMware vCenter Auto Deploy to deploy hypervisors from bare metal and add them to existing clusters automatically.
