About OS Deployment Servers

An OS deployment server is a resource that enables you to deploy (install and configure) operating systems for use by servers. HPE OneView connects to an OS deployment server and configures it for deploying operating systems.

The default selection is HPE Synergy Image Streamer, when an Image Streamer is discovered in an HPE Synergy configuration.

HPE OneView displays the state of connectivity between the OS deployment server and the Image Streamer appliance.

The HPE OneView Infrastructure administrator can add an OS deployment server. The OS Deployment Server address is a hyperlink to the interface for managing deployment artifacts.

HPE OneView manages the OS deployment server after it is configured and displays the list of attributes, management settings, the OS deployment plans, and the server profiles that reference the available OS deployment plans.
