c. Select the OMIVV network instance that has access to vCenter. For more information, see Prerequisites to deploy host
with two NICs on page 55.
d. Select any one of the following networking options:
● For static, enter the preferred DNS server, alternate DNS server, IP address, subnet mask, and default gateway.
● Use VLAN—When a VLAN ID is provided, it is applied to the management interface of an operating system during
deployment and tags all traffic with the VLAN ID. Server Identification assigns new names and network identification
to deployed servers. For more information, see VLAN support on page 56.
● Use DHCP—The DHCP assigned IP address is used when adding the host to vCenter. When using DHCP, it is
recommended that an IP reservation for selected NIC MAC addresses is used.

7. From the ISO Profile drop-down menu, select an appropriate ISO profile, and then click NEXT.
8. To create a preview job on iDRAC, on the Configuration Preview page, select an iDRAC IP, and then click PREVIEW.
Configuration Preview is an optional task.
The system profile preview operation may take few minutes to complete. The comparison status is displayed in the Result
column.
The following are the comparison results:
● Completed—The preview job is successfully run. For more information about the comparison results, click View Details
in the Details column.
● Not completed—The preview job is not successfully run on the iDRAC. Ensure that iDRAC is accessible, and perform
iDRAC reset, if required. For more information about the job, see the OMIVV logs and the logs at iDRAC console.
9. Complete the tasks 7–10 listed in the Deploy ISO profile (ESXi installation) on page 54 topic.
Prerequisites to deploy host with two NICs
The following are the deployment prerequisites for two NICs:
● Host can have either iDRAC and vCenter management NIC in the same network or in the two distinct networks.
● The ISO image can be saved in any of the networks.
● The OS deployment wizard displays both the OMIVV networks. Ensure that you select the correct vCenter network and
OMIVV network applicable to the environment.
