management components, or new or updated drivers. You can use the VMware base image with a large number of ProLiant servers. If you choose to use the VMware base image, we recommend that you add HP management components to the image after initial installation of ESXi 5.0.

adding driver and management components. • Before deploying your image, use Image Builder to create an offline bundle ZIP and unzip it to a local depot. Auto Deploy and ESXi 5.0 The new vSphere 5.0 Auto Deploy feature lets you perform unattended installations of ESXi 5.0 on multiple ProLiant servers - HP ProLiant DL380p | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 4
and configuration of HP servers. HP Online Depot contains: • The HP custom image profile that specifies all the bundles in the HP custom ISO image • HP ESXi 5.0 Management bundle Management Providers, HP Integrated Lights-Out (iLO) drivers, and HP Customer Replaceable Unit (CRU) drivers. • HP ESXi - HP ProLiant DL380p | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 5
then update the contents of the bundle as needed. • Manually copy content from HP User License Agreement • index.xml Image Builder default index file that points to vendor-index.xml (available in main and each bundle directory) • vendor-index.xml Lists product ID, version number and points to the hp - HP ProLiant DL380p | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 6
storage and networking drivers for the HP ProLiant servers. The process for creating a customized image includes using the vSphere 5 Image Builder tool and connecting to the VMware and HP Online Depot. Then, adding the HP Management, iLO, and CRU drivers into a clone of the VMware base image profile - HP ProLiant DL380p | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 7
, certain servers require an HP custom image. For a list of servers that require a custom image, see the HP ProLiant Server VMware Support Matrix at http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/vmware/supportmatrix/hpvmware.html. Because of our testing, you will avoid the following installation issues - HP ProLiant DL380p | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 8
installing a boot from SAN configuration on ProLiant servers, we include the required drivers (FC, FCoE, and iSCSI) for both embedded and supported optional devices that provide SAN connectivity. The result is a seamless process for setting up a boot from SAN ESXi environment on ProLiant servers. HP - HP ProLiant DL380p | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 9
to configure, enter the user names and passwords, select the cluster to which you want to add the system, and then click Next. 8.In Step 5-Summary window, monitor the status of the deployment and click the Finish button when the process is complete.

Figure 7). 3.Select Create Baseline. 4.Under Baseline, type Host Patch. 5.Select Dynamic. 6.Select both the vendor names "hp" and "Hewlett-Packard". 7.Under Criteria, leave Severity, Category, Product set to "Any". The system lists the downloaded patches associated with the new dynamic baseline. 15 - HP ProLiant DL380p | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 16

Figure 8: The Schedule a Scan - HP ProLiant DL380p | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 17
completes. Also, the system will perform the remediate process after the scan completes. Or, you can manually create fixed baselines, perform scans and remediate tasks.
