to deploy vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant servers. This paper provides instructions for deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on ProLiant servers. Deployment vSphere 5.0 has multiple options to deploy ESXi 5.0 in the configuration that best meets your requirements. vSphere 5.0 supports only the ESXi - HP ProLiant ML310e | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 3
to provision and customize hosts. You can deploy HP management components as part of the Auto Deploy option by including them in the image profile, which results in a fully managed HP server operating in stateless mode. The HP Online Depot offers HP-specific components for use with vSphere 5.0 Auto - HP ProLiant ML310e | 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 ML310e | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 5
index.xml) or to a specific bundle subdirectory on HP Online Depot (http://vibsdepot.hp.com//index.xml). Use VUM to compare versions in the depot with deployed versions, and then update the contents of the bundle as needed. • Manually copy content from HP Online Depot to your local - HP ProLiant ML310e | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 6
up-to-date 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 - HP ProLiant ML310e | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 7
against all supported servers. Our tests include scenarios for updates and upgrades and for configuration changes. HP custom images simplify configuring and deploying ESXi 5.0 on ProLiant servers. You can use an HP custom image with any ProLiant server; however, certain servers require an HP custom - HP ProLiant ML310e | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 8
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.

power optimization directly from the vCenter console. Insight Control for VMware vCenter lets you manage multiple generations of HP servers. You can monitor your entire network as it leverages the industry's leading management tools from Insight Control. You can manage your virtualization - HP ProLiant ML310e | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 10

remediate functions in the VUM Compliance View. Using VUM to keep HP servers up to date We recommend using the following procedures to keep HP servers updated with the latest patches from the depot. Configuring a download schedule With a download schedule, you can specify the download frequency - HP ProLiant ML310e | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 15
configure the download schedule. Creating a dynamic baseline Creating a new dynamic baseline allows you to add downloaded patches that match the criteria you specify. This procedure adds the patches to the baseline. You can then attach your data center or selected HP vendor names "hp" and "Hewlett - HP ProLiant ML310e | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 16
baseline: 1.Go to vCenter Home. 2.Select Management. 3.Select Scheduled Tasks. 4.Select New. 5.Select Scan For Updates from the task selection pull-down list. 6.Specify update types, frequency, start time, and email address for notification of results (Figure 8). Figure 8: The Schedule a Scan - HP ProLiant ML310e | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 17
perform the remediate process after the scan completes. Or, you can manually create fixed baselines, perform scans and remediate tasks.
