5.14.1 Configuring static networking information
The Server Network Configuration area on the Run OS Build Plan screen allows you to configure
the target server networking as part of an OS deployment job.
NOTE: Only the deployment network interface can be configured using this screen.
NOTE: These settings will only affect Build Plans that install an operating system and contain an
“Inject personalization settings” step.
To access Server Network Configuration you must select the Configure static network information
check box.
In order to configure a target server’s network, the target server must have a Deployment interface
NIC already assigned. You can verify this on the server’s Overview page. Note that servers added
via their iLO but not booted into maintenance will not have a deployment NIC assigned yet.
NOTE: The network configuration information defined on this screen is passed to the Build Plan
by creating a special custom attribute hpsa_netconfig for each server the Build Plan will be
run on. The “Inject personalization settings” step of the OS installation Build Plan uses this custom
attribute and modifies the installation configuration file accordingly.
The hpsa_netconfig custom attribute will remain assigned to the server until it is deleted or
overwritten by subsequent network personalization. Any future OS installations on the server will
use the networking information defined by hpsa_netconfig.

Network mask
This field is only displayed for a single server selection.Host name
This area allows you to change the unqualified host name of the server from the name assigned
when the server is first discovered to a name that has more meaning in your facility.
This field is only displayed for multiple server selection and is used with the Starting index to
generate host names automatically.
Host name prefix
This area allows you to change the unqualified host name of the server from the name assigned
when the server is first discovered to a name that has more meaning in your facility.
The servers selected will be given a host name beginning with this prefix and ending with a
number starting with the Starting index and incrementing for each server.
NOTE: Host names are assigned top to bottom as displayed in the Run OS Build Plan Servers
table. Changing the table order affects host name and IP address assignments.
This field is only displayed for multiple server selection and is used with the Host name prefix to
generate host names automatically.
Starting index
This area allows you to change the unqualified host name of the server from the name assigned
when the server is first discovered to a name that has more meaning in your facility.
