Feedback and Recommendation on your first HPE Simplivity Deployment

[Asksouley]

I know we have all heard about HPE Simplivity ( a.k.a Data Center in a Box ). I 'm about to deploy my first Simplivity nodes and  I was wondering if those who have already deployed one can share their experience and leave down some recommendations

Hi, Pre Flight.xls is the key, take time to fill it, answer question that you can have about the network.

Read the interop matrix to match vCenter and version you want to deploy.

To ensure a good deployment the best (my opinion) is to have your computer with the deployment manager installed in the same subnet that the host you need to deploy to be able to discover them.

Hello @Asksouley 

Thank you for using HPE Simplivity Forums. 

In case you don't have it, here's a link to the HPE OmniStack 4.0.1 for vSphere Deployment Guide

HPE OmniStack 4.0.1 Deployment Guide 

This could help you getting a better idea of the deployment process. 

Thanks,
