image, see the HP ProLiant Server VMware Support Matrix at http://h18004.www1.hp.com/products/servers/vmware/supportmatrix/hpvmware.html. We recommend using the HP custom image to ensure you have all the drivers and HP additions required to install ESXi to ProLiant servers using the latest hardware - HP ProLiant s6500 | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on ProLiant server - Page 4
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 s6500 | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on ProLiant server - Page 5
individual HP-specific bundles for use with Image Builder or direct deployment. HP Online Depot The HP Online Depot is a web-based repository that hosts our vSphere 5.0 individual bundles and VIBs. The HP Online Depot bundles provide solutions for the management and configuration of ProLiant servers - HP ProLiant s6500 | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on ProLiant server - Page 6
from a "single pane of glass" from the vCenter console, including server, storage, and network infrastructure. Deploying hosts You can deploy ESXi hosts on bare-metal ProLiant servers directly from VMware vCenter using the new HP Insight Control Deployment Wizard.

To install a specific HP Software Bundle, create a baseline that includes only that bundle (for example - HP ProLiant s6500 | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on ProLiant server - Page 12
you 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 - HP ProLiant s6500 | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on ProLiant server - Page 13
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. the vendor names "hp" and "Hewlett-Packard." 7. Under Criteria, leave Severity, Category, and Product set to "Any." The system lists the downloaded - HP ProLiant s6500 | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on ProLiant server - Page 14
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. - HP ProLiant s6500 | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on ProLiant server - Page 15
you create a scheduled task to schedule scans. Scheduling remediate processes To create a task to schedule remediate processes for the data center of HP ESXi hosts: 1. Go to vCenter Home. 2. Select Management. 3. Select Scheduled Tasks. 4. Select New. 5. Select Remediate from the task selection pull - HP ProLiant s6500 | Deploying and updating VMware vSphere 5.0 on ProLiant server - Page 16
. In addition, the system performs the remediate process after the scan completes. Alternatively, you can manually create fixed baselines, perform scans and remediate tasks.
