The Hewlett Packard Enterprise provided Build Plans are samples that typically perform a single function such as installing an OS or updating firmware. In some situations you want to perform multiple functions at one time, such as preparing a system for installation, running the installation, and then installing an SPP. If you need to perform multiple functions, you have two options:
-
Select multiple Build Plans at run time. The Run OS Build Plan screen allows selecting multiple Build Plans to run in succession. Select as many as needed and adjust the order. For more information, see Run a set of Build Plans together.
-
Combine Build Plan steps from multiple Build Plans into one large Build Plan. Selecting multiple Build Plans cannot be saved and used again, so if you need to repeat the same series of Build Plans, you can create a new build that contains the steps of all the Build Plans you want to combine in the order you want them to run. Hewlett Packard Enterprise has provided some sample Build Plans that combine three existing Build Plans into one as an example. They are listed as "ProLiant COMBO" in the UI. Use these as a guide when combining other Build Plans. For more information, see the Insight Control Server Provisioning Build Plans Reference Guide.
