OV4VC 11.0 - No management connection is defined

[Parziwolle]

Hello everyone,

we have a HPE OneView for vCenter 11.0 Appliance which is configured with a CA-Certificate, vCenter registered, OneView-Synergy connected, Firmware registered.

If we try to deploy ESXi Image with Grow Cluster (new Cluster) or Deploy OS (Single Host) we get the following Error

Messages:

- No management connection is defined.<br/><br/>Please fix the above issues and then try again.

- Error found at OneView while growing the cluster

I enabled Trace Logging but cannot find the core issue:

The Server is not even powered on. After click Finish or Deploy we get the error.

Best regards.

Hello everyone,

I found the main issue: You must set the "Purpose" to Management in Synergy Server Networks:

"Grow Cluster" still not working cause of "Memory Degraded" Status in HPE iLO.

Appears always after Server Profile attached. The "Health-Check-Script" will abort the Deployment Process always.

"Deploy OS" work fine if secure Boot disabled.
