OneView installation on a standalone Rhel 7 server

[Sandeep9]

Hi Team,

We are planning to deploy OneView in our environment and I have been reading and going through with the documentation. As far as i have understood from them that, the OneView comes as a ready2use VM appliance and we have dploy it to an ESXi or hyperV platform. 

However, we do not have a virtual (hyperV) environment where we can install. So, want to know if there is a way we can install OneView as a software on an existing Rhel 7 server just like we did for HP SIM?

Regards,

Sandeep

HPE OneView is delivered as a virtual appliance that can be hosted on VMware vSphere, Microsoft Hyper-V or Red Hat Enteprise Linux KVM.  Please see the HPE OneView Support Matrix and Installation Guide hosted on the HPE Information Library for the release you are trying to install.

Thanks for the reply Chris!

Yes, I have went through the docs and they mention it can be installed via OVA. But we wanted it to install as a software on a DL server running Rhel 7. Is there a possibility to do that?

As I have stated already, the software is delivered as a virtual appliance only.  There are no options to deploy it as a baremetal application.  You need to host it as a virtual machine.

OneView appliance VM also available for RHEL, which you can deploy on RHEL host.

You can download TAR.GZ file (eg. HPE_ONEVIEW_5.50.00_KVM_Z7550-96988.TAR.GZ ) from below link to deploy OneView appliance VM on RHEL host.
