About Deployment

Hypervisor deployment supports one-to-one and one–to–many deployment.

The hypervisor deployment is a profile-based workflow. Essentially, this workflow enables you to specify

hardware configurations, hypervisor configurations, and SC2012 VMM-specific configurations. This

workflow uses logical network and Host Profile of the appliance along with hardware configuration in the

appliance for hypervisor deployment.

Creating Deployment Templates

You can create deployment templates with required hardware and hypervisor profile and apply the

deployment template to unassigned servers.

To create a deployment template:

1. In the appliance, do any of the following:

• In the appliance dashboard, click Create Deployment Template.

• In the appliance navigation pane, click Profiles and Templates, and then click Deployment

Template.

2. In Deployment Template, enter template name, template description, select a hypervisor profile and

hardware profile. However, selecting a hardware profile is optional.

3. (Optional) If the hardware or hypervisor profile is not created, you can create the profiles by click

Create New.

2. Select the deployment template that you want to modify and click Edit.

3. Make the required changes and click Finish.

Deleting a Deployment Template
