c. Type IP address in the Static IP Address text box.

NOTE: You can manually enter the IP Address only for Static network.

NOTE: Select the Retry On Failure option to ensure that ASM selects another server from the server pool for

deployment if any server fails.

NOTE: Each server may be retried up to five times.

5. Click View All Settings to view the details of the components that are part of the service.

6. On the Schedule Deployment page, perform one of the following tasks:

• Deploy Now — Select this option to deploy the service immediately.

• Schedule Later — Select this option to enter the date and time to deploy the service later.

NOTE:

You must manually configure network and BIOS on Dell PowerEdge C6220 servers.

Before configuring ensure that:

• There is sufficient hard disk space available on the server to install the operating system.

• Single NIC is set to PXE boot.

• Single NIC is set as a first boot device and the hard disk is set as second boot device.

• The network is set as workload network for Windows and Linux bare-metal operating system installation and is set as

hypervisor management network for ESXi deployment.

You must configure the network on the top of rack switch that is connected to the PowerEdge C6220 server and also

configure any VLAN on the server facing port of the top of rack switch. To configure the VLAN, ensure that the PXE VLAN is

untagged for any operating system deployment.

NOTE: Prior to deployment of FX2 or Blade server, you need to disable Flexaddress every server in chassis. To disable

Flexaddress, follow the path:

CMC > Server Overview > Setup > FlexAddress.

You need to make sure that server is powered down to disable FlexAddress. Ideally these should be done prior discovering the

server.

Add existing service

With ASM 8.3, you can discover and import existing VMware clusters in the environment and add it as a service in ASM. After

adding the existing service, you can manage the resources in the cluster by updating the firmware of the components in the cluster

or deleting the components in the cluster.

CAUTION: Deleting a component from the service also deletes the component from the data center environment.

NOTE: Before adding an existing service, you must ensure that the components such as servers, vCenter, or storage

that are part of the cluster are discovered by ASM in the Resource list and are in Reserved or Available state.
