Altiris Deployment Solution™ from Symantec User’s Guide 138
HP blade server can have predefined deployment jobs and configuration tasks
associated with it to execute automatically upon installation. (This feature requires that
the Hewlett-Packard Rapid Deployment Pack is installed.) The Virtual Rack/Enclosure/
Bay icons change from virtual icons to managed server icons in the Deployment Console
as live blade servers are inserted and identified by Deployment Solution.
Rack name. Enter or edit the name of the Rack.
Enclosure name. Enter or edit the name of the Enclosure.
Enclosure type. Select the type of HP server blade from the list.
Initial Job. Select an existing job to run when the pre-configured computer account is
associated with a new server blade.
Server Change rule. Select the Server Deployment Rules to run on the Bay when a
new server blade is installed.
See Server deployment rules on page 121.
Note
If you create Virtual Bays for an enclosure (such as the BLe-class with 20 bays) and if
another model of server blade with an enclosure containing fewer bays is connected
(such as the BLp-class with 8 bays), the excess virtual bays are truncated automatically.
Conversely, if you create Virtual Bays with fewer bays (8) and install an enclosure with
additional bays (20), you must re-create the virtual bays in the enclosure (right-click the
enclosure name in the physical view and click New Virtual Bays).
See also Managing new server blades on page 137.
Hewlett-Packard server blades
Hewlett-Packard high-density blade servers can be deployed and managed from the
Deployment Console. The following HP server blades are supported:
HP blade servers let you employ all features provided in the Deployment Console when
you install the HP Proliant Essentials Rapid Deployment Pack (see www.hp.com/servers/
rdp), including the Virtual Blade Server feature. The name of each Rack for an HP Server
appears along with the assigned name for the Enclosure and Bay. These names are
collected from the SMBIOS of the server blade and appear in both the physical and
server views within the Computers pane of the Deployment Console.
For HP blade servers in the physical view, the Rack name can be a custom name in the
console, with all subordinate Enclosures and Bays also identified. Example:
<rackName>
<enclosureName>
<bayNumber>
HP Proliant™ BL e-Class HP Proliant™ BL p-class
Proliant™ BL 10e Proliant™ BL 20p
Proliant™ BL 10e G2 Proliant™ BL 20p G2
Proliant™ BL 40p
