HP Insight Control Server Provisioning 7.2 Installation Guide

IMPORTANT: HP does not recommend thin provisioning on a production appliance.
Do not select Power on this virtual machine after creation.
Select Finish to initiate deployment of the VM.
8. Select Edit virtual machine settings from the Getting Started vSphere page.
Verify your IC server provisioning VM meets the following requirements:
• At least 16 GB of memory
• 4 CPUs
• 200 GB of disk space
• 1 network adapter configured to have access to the target servers
NOTE: These are minimum CPU and memory requirements. If you will be deploying large
numbers of servers at a time (more than 8 at a time), or will be managing large numbers of
servers (over 1000), then the recommended optimal configuration is 8 CPUs and 30 GB of
memory.
If your appliance does not meet the requirements listed above, edit the VM appropriately.
Your HP Insight Control server provisioning virtual appliance is now installed and ready to be
configured.
2.3 Start up your appliance for the first time
IMPORTANT: Before powering on your virtual appliance, verify the date and time are set properly
on your VM host system. You should be sure to maintain an accurate time on the VM host system,
such as with NTP, because the VM guest will synchronize with that time.
Power on your virtual appliance by right clicking on the Insight Control server provisioning VM
and selecting Power→Power On
