Use this page to add the hardware servers to a suite instance.
When you add/remove hardware to an already provisioned suite instance, this will be treated a new assignment and a job for this activity will be triggered. You can go to the Jobs page on the Grid Control console to view the job status. See About Jobs for more information on Jobs.
In this page, you must create a new assignment to add new hardware servers to the selected suite instance.
Every suite instance comprises one suite image, which in turn comprises many images (both single-server and cluster.) The Add Hardware assignment creation wizard will display as many steps as the number of images that the associated suite image contains. For example, if the associated suite image is made up of three images (Cluster1, Cluster2, and Single_Server1) the Add Hardware assignment creation wizard will take you through the following four steps before you can submit this assignment:
Step 1: Configure assignment properties
Step 2: Add hardware to Cluster1
Step 3: Add hardware to Cluster2
Step 4: Add hardware to Single_Server1
Note: You can add multiple hardware servers to a cluster image. A single-server image will be associated to only one hardware server.
To create a new "add hardware" assignment, enter the assignment name and description.
Specify appropriate values in the input fields described below:
| Page Elements | Description |
|---|---|
| New Network | Click Select to view a list of existing network components and select the appropriate network component. |
| Boot Server | Select an appropriate Boot Server to be used for the assignment. The boot servers that are listed here, are the ones that have been configured by the administrator (on the Administration tab). |
| Staging Storage | Select an appropriate staging server. You can select from the list of staging servers that have been configured by the Administrator. |
| Staging Server Credentials | The staging server credentials are required to access the Staging Server. This is the server on which the selected Images will be staged before starting the provisioning activity. Note: You must have write permissions on this server. You can choose to use the preferred credentials or override these credentials. If you choose to override the preferred credentials, you must specify the appropriate username and password for that staging server. |
| Edit Assignment Properties | Click this button to edit the assignment properties. |
Click Next to add hardware server to each of the associate images. You can also choose not to add hardware server to a particular image and click Next to go to the next image in the image suite.
Click Finish to submit the assignment.
