A.3 Planning the configuration

A.3.1 Planning for installation of the appliance

For the sample data center, assume that you make the following choices before and during installation:

•You follow the recommendations in the HP OneView Installation Guide, including:

◦

◦

◦

Choosing a physical host for the appliance virtual machine (VM) that is not targeted to be managed by this appliance

Choosing a static IP address

Ensuring that the ports required by the appliance are available

•You allow support personnel to access the appliance.

•You synchronize the appliance time with the VM host time.

•When prompted to change the Administrator password, you use the password SDC14u$.

•You specify the following for the appliance networking settings:

Configuration attribute	Value
Appliance host name	myhostname.example.com
IPv4 address assignment	Manual
Subnet mask	255.255.240.0
