HP OneView Network sets

Network sets

You can define a collection of Ethernet data center networks to be identified by a single name, called a network set. You can specify a network set instead of an individual network when you define a connection from a server to the data center networks. By using network sets, you can make changes to networks that are members of a network set without having to make changes to each server profile that uses that network set.

Network sets are useful in virtual machine environments where each server profile connection must access multiple networks. For example, you can configure a hypervisor with a vSwitch to access multiple network VLAN IDs by creating a network set as a trunk that includes the networks that have these VLAN IDs.

For more information about networking resources, see “Understanding the resource model” (page 29).
