IPv4 configuration options
The server profile provides the
<name>.<parameter>
values that indicate the network configuration requested for
OS deployment. If a network configuration parameter is not used in Plan Scripts, the server profile does not prompt for the
same.
You can set the IPv4 configuration in the
Edit custom attribute dialog on the OS Build Plan screen to constrain the
configuration choices allowed in the server profile.
Allow static
This option indicates that the server profile can request the NIC to be configured with a static IP address. If not set,
the server profile does not allow static IP configuration. If static IP configuration is allowed, you can enter the static IP
configuration or it can be allocated from a pool if HPE OneView has an IP pool for the network.
Allow DHCP
This option indicates that the server profile can request the NIC to be configured for DHCP. Specifically, the
.dhcp
value may be true for this option. If not set, the server profile does not allow DHCP to be selected.
Allow no network connection
This option indicates that the server profile is allowed to provide no connection for the NIC. If set, the
.mac
or
.mac1
and
.mac2
values expand to
none
in the Plan Script. If not set, a network connection must be given in
the server profile for the NIC attribute.
Allow no network teaming
This option indicates that the server profile is allowed to provide a single connection for the teamed NIC. If
set,
.mac2
value expands to
none
in the Plan Script. If not set, the server profile would not allow only a single
network connection for the teamed NIC.
These settings can be combined to restrict the server profile to permit only those network configurations which conform
to a specific data center policy or the capability of the OS being deployed.
