Adding HPE OneView appliances

Expand the HPE OneView Systems folder in Monitoring view of the SCOM. The HPE OneView Systems folder expands, revealing several views including the Configuration Dashboard view.

Select the Configuration Dashboard view. The Configuration Dashboard shows a custom-defined control, allowing adding/editing or removing of HPE OneView appliance.

Add the HPE OneView appliance details to the Configuration Dashboard.

IP Address or DNS Name
User Name (Local or Active directory user)

Confirm Password

Click Add.

If you are adding the appliance using the self-signed certificate, the following certificate trust pop-up appears.

To trust and continue adding the HPE OneView appliance, click Yes. To discard the whole operation, click No.

If you are using a CA-signed certificate, before adding the appliance to the dashboard, you must import the certificate to the trusted root store.

If you are adding an appliance using CA-signed certificate, import the certificate to the trusted root certification authorities of the local computer before adding the appliance to the dashboard. If you forget to import the certificate, a relevant error message is displayed.

If there is Resource pool environment, the self-signed certificate is auto imported to the trusted root store of the management server managing the appliance, discovery works as expected. Whereas in a CA-signed certificate, you must import the certificate to the trusted root certification authorities of the local computer or management server. If the CA-signed certificate is not imported to the trusted root store of management server, it will display the alert specific to certificate missing on the SCOM operation console under Active Alerts along with management server information.

The Configuration Dashboard indicates that the supported appliance has been added and lists the newly added appliance in the Managed Appliances list. The new appliance will be discovered in the Console following the next discovery cycle.

NOTE: By default, the discovery interval of HPE OneView Appliance class is set to 4 hours. The interval can be customized by the user.

NOTE: When adding HPE OneView appliances using Active Directory users, use the Directoryname\domainuser format, where Directoryname is the name of the directory provided in HPE OneView during the Active Directory integration.

NOTE: Users must be now part of the infrastructure administrator role and must have scope to all resources.

NOTE:

If the add operation fails, Log in to the system with domain administrator account and try to read again using operation console.

NOTE:

If there is any change in the certificate for an appliance (certificate expired or certificate deleted from trust store), remove the respective appliance and add it back using Configuration Dashboard.

If the HPE OneView appliance is managing an Azure Stack Hub, a pop-up with the confirmation message appears as follows:

Click Yes, then the Azure fields (Azure name & region) will be expanded.

Add the name of Azure Stack Hub to the Azure Stack Hub Name.

Select the region of Azure Stack Hub from the Azure Stack Hub Region drop-down.

To add the HPE OneView instance as Azure Stack Hub, click Add.

The Azure Stack Hub Appliance will be added to SCOM.

If you select No, then the appliance will not be added.

If HPE OneView is managing the Azure stack instances and if you chose not to add the appliance as Azure Stack Hub appliance, then the appliance will be added as a regular HPE OneView appliance.

NOTE:

This release supports HPE OneView version 4.2 and 5.3 only if:

HPE OneView is managing the Azure Stack Hub.
HPE OneView instance is added as an Azure Stack Hub in Configuration Dashboard.
