Deploying hypervisors
Operating systems are deployed only on servers that are compliant.
Before hypervisor deployment, consider the following: upgrade the firmware versions to the latest
versions available at ftp.dell.com or downloads.dell.com, and then continue with hypervisor deployment.
To deploy to servers:
1. In the appliance do the following:
• In the appliance dashboard, click Deploy Unassigned Servers.
• In the appliance navigation pane, click Deployment Wizard.
2. In Welcome, click Next.
3. In Select Servers, select the servers to which you want to deploy, and check for available licenses
and then click Next.
4. In Select Template and Profile, select the appropriate deployment template and the associated
device type credential profile.
NOTE: You can assign multiple credential profiles to multiple servers.
You can also create a deployment template and a credential profile.
5. In Server Identification, select servers and provide host name, MAC address and network
information either static or DHCP that you want to apply to the servers, and then click Next.
6. In Job Details, provide a job name to track the job and the deployment status and click Next.
7. In Summary, view the deployment options you have provided and click Finish.
8. In the Confirmation message, click Yes.
