let you modify the vSphere environment to meet your specific needs, as well as make it easy 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 - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 3
easiest method to deploy ESXi 5.0 on ProLiant servers. This image includes HP management tools, utilities, and drivers that allow easy deployment of a fully managed ProLiant server. The HP custom ISO image is available at https://h20392.www2.hp.com/portal/swdepot/displayProductInfo.do?productNumber - HP ProLiant BL420c | 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 BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 5
your local VMware depot to the host. To download bundles to use with ESXCLI, manually copy the contents of HP Online Depot (http://vibsdepot.hp.com) or a specific bundle on HP Online Depot (http://vibsdepot.hp.com/) to either your local management console or the host. Use ESXCLI - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 6
a new custom image (an ISO file) for ESXi 5.0 that includes the HP Management Providers and the HP iLO and HP CRU drivers. The custom image is stored locally. You can use it as a new template for ProLiant server installations. We assume that the following components have been installed: • Windows - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 7
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 image. For a list of servers that require a custom image, see the HP ProLiant Server VMware Support Matrix at http://h18004.www1 - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 8
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 to load an ESXi image into host memory, downloads the image over the network when - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 9
Control for VMware vCenter lets you manage multiple generations of HP servers. You can monitor your entire network as it process is complete. Viewing firmware inventory and updating firmware The Firmware page in Insight Control for VMware vCenter lets you view firmware inventory and export to a - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 10
Management section of the HP Management pane. 5.Select the Firmware Inventory tab to display the following: - Server name or IP address - Installed firmware-related component - Firmware version - Firmware manufacturer - Component type (function) You can also generate a firmware inventory list in CSV - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 11
Figure 1: The VUM Download Settings Add Download Source dialog box lets you add download sources for future updates. Click the Download Now button to download all patches and upgrades available from the enabled sources (Figure 2). 11 - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 12
Figure 2: The Configuration tab lets you select sources from which to download patches and upgrades. After the download is complete, you can find a list of downloaded patches and upgrades in the Patch Repository tab as shown in Figure 3. Figure 3: The Patch Repository tab lists downloaded patches - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 13

To install a specific HP Software Bundle, create a baseline that includes only that bundle (for example - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 14
install a specific HP Software Bundle. Attach the data center or individual ESXi 5.0 hosts to the baseline. To upgrade the hosts with the HP Software Bundles for ESXi 5.0 included in the baseline, perform scan and remediate functions in the VUM Compliance View. Using VUM to keep HP servers up to - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 15
patches to the baseline. You can then attach your data center or selected HP ESXi hosts to this dynamic baseline. To create a new dynamic baseline: 1.Go type Host Patch. 5.Select Dynamic. 6.Select both the vendor names "hp" and "Hewlett-Packard". 7.Under Criteria, leave Severity, Category, Product - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 16
Figure 7: The Patch Details dialog box lets you create a new dynamic baseline. Scheduling tasks for a new dynamic baseline To create a scheduled task to schedule scans on the data center or selected ESXi hosts attached to the new dynamic baseline: 1.Go to vCenter Home. 2.Select Management. 3.Select - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 17
New. 5.Select Remediate from the task selection pull-down list. 6.Specify the HP Dynamic Patch Baseline and a time for the remediation process as shown in Figure the remediate process after the scan completes. Or, you can manually create fixed baselines, perform scans and remediate tasks. For more - HP ProLiant BL420c | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on HP ProLiant Se - Page 18
