Target server requirements

Before you discover servers, be sure the servers are set up properly and meet the following requirements:

  • Be sure it's a supported server as specified in the Insight Control server provisioning section of the HP Insight Management Support Matrix available at http://www.hp.com/go/insightcontrol/docs.

  • Be sure you have configured the deployment interface, and make sure that interface is connected to your deployment network and reachable by the deployment interface of your appliance.

    There can only be one NIC attached to the deployment network. See the HP Insight Control Server Provisioning Installation Guide section on Appliance networking considerations for more details on the Deployment IP.

  • Be sure the network interface for your iLO is connected to the network and reachable via either the appliance or deployment interfaces.

  • If you will be PXE booting your servers, be sure the server is on the same network as your DHCP server or that an appropriate DHCP helper is configured on your router.
