Before you begin  13 

•

 

Install VMware vCenter Server. Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you always install the 

latest updates of the software. 

•

 

Install OneView for VMware vCenter and ensure that it has access to the networks that will be used 

for HC380 ESXi management and for HC380 storage. 

•

 

Ensure that you have access to the OneView for VMware vCenter administrator credentials on the 

remote server. These credentials are used by OneView InstantOn during deployment. 

•

 

Verify that the remote server can support the additional system hosts, datacenter, and Virtual 

Machines that will be installed or added (expanded). 

   

 

NOTE:

  To determine the supported limits for each version, see the VMware vCenter Server 

documentation. 

   

 

HPE iLO 4 

Although iLO 4 is not required for daily use, Hewlett Packard Enterprise recommends that you configure 

the iLO of each HC380 server as part of the initial setup. iLO is required when performing a node 

recovery, for perform a firmware update, and for CloudSystem. The default iLO credentials can be found 

on the toe tag on each HC380 node. 
For more information about configuring iLO, see 

HPE iLO 4 User Guide

, which is available on the Hewlett 

Packard Enterprise website (
