Alletra MP dHCI - Private Cloud Business Edition

[CadenLange]

Hi

Is there a good implementation guide for deploying HPE Alletra dHCI with Alletra MP storage systems? There is one for Alletra 5k/6k but these are significantly different to the Alletra MP array. There is, for example, a need for a Data Services connector VM with Alletra MP. I've found a bit of a getting started guide, but this isn't overly verbose.

Enable HPE Alletra dHCI with Alletra Storage MP systems | HPE GreenLake for Private Cloud Business Edition Getting Started Guide

My first question is around VMware vCenter - with Alletra 5k/6k dHCI, it was an option to deploy a VCSA as part of a greenfield deployment and the VCSA would be placed on a datastore on the Alletra array. Is this an option for the Alletra MP dHCI or must an instance of vCenter exist before the installation can proceed. 

many thanks

Hello @CadenLange ,

Before proceeding with the dHCI implementation, you should install and configure vCenter.

Please refer to this guide for the detailed guidance, also refer to this psnow document.

I believe, my post will help you in resolving your issue. If yes, please mark my post as 'Accepted solutions'.

Thanks @Sahana_S 

I'm don't think it does answer my questions - the documentation only seem to cover Alletra dHCI on 5k & 6K (Nimble). I need documentation that covers an Alletra dHCI solution using Greenlake for Block Storage (Alletra B10000). I can understand there may only be a few differences but they are very different arrays and (as an example) the Alletra MP needs a Data Services Connector VM installing - That isn't mentioned anywhere in the document link you sent me so I suspect that link is only for Alletra 6k arrays and not for B10000s

Do you have any other links perhaps?

Thanks
