About hypervisor deployment

Hypervisor deployment is a profile-based workflow. This workflow enables you to specify hardware configurations, hypervisor

configurations, SCVMM configurations, and update source for firmware updates. Also, you can continue with hypervisor

deployment even if the firmware update fails. However, all the components of the selected servers or groups of servers get

updated during hypervisor deployment. This workflow uses logical network and host profile available in SCVMM required at the time

of creation of hypervisor profile along with hardware configuration for hypervisor deployment in the appliance. Hypervisor

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

Creating deployment template

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

deployment template to unassigned servers. It enables you to create the template once and use it multiple times.

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 the template name and template description, and then select a hypervisor profile, hardware

profile, and update source.

3. (Optional) Select an update source, a hardware profile, and to continue with deployment even if firmware update fails select

Continue OSD even if firmware update fails.

NOTE: By default downgrade is not supported.

4. (Optional) If the hardware or hypervisor profile is not created, you can create the profiles by clicking Create New.

Modifying deployment template

NOTE: You can modify the name, description, and selection of hypervisor profile, hardware profile, and update source.
