new-ESXserver provisions an ESX server using an Image Streamer deployment plan for ESXi. Several parameters can be used to customize the ESXi host like: Management IP address, SSH enabled, hostname, datastore, etc.
Once the server is provisioned, the script can turn the server ON and also add the ESXi host to a vcenter folder, datacenter or cluster.
Supports common parameters -verbose, -whatif, and -confirm.
OneView administrator account is required
Image Streamer artifacts for ESXi 5.x and ESXi 6.x must be installed
See https://github.com/HewlettPackard/image-streamer-esxi
A deployment plan name must be provided using the 'OSDeploymentplanname' parameter. If not present, the script is looking for "ESXi - deploy with multiple management NIC HA config+FCoE"
Latest OneView POSH Library must be used.
OneView administrator account is required.
Global Variables at the begining of the script needs to be configured according to your environment:
$ServerHardwareTypenamesets the type of server model name to use for the deployment e.g. '480' will select a server model 'Synergy 480 Gen9' or 'Synergy 480 Gen10'.$myproxyand$myproxyportset proxy settings (if required) to install the VMware PowerCLI library (if needed)$vcenterlicensenamesets the VMware license name to use on the ESXi host

Assign the default password defined in the OS Deployment plan to the ESXi root user account
Generate a OneView server profile named "ESX6-3"
Turn on automatically the ESXi Host once the server profile is created in OneView because the vCenterserver parameter is used
Add the server to be managed by a vCenter server "vcenter.hpe.net" and import the server in the "Synergy" location, if not present, the location ressource is created
PS C:\> "Frame1-CN7516060D, bay 3", "Frame1-CN7516060D, bay 4" | New-ESXserver -HostnamePattern "ESX" -SSHEnabled -datastore "vsphere-datastore" -vCenterServer "vcenter.lj.mougins.net" -vcenterusername "Administrator@vsphere.local" -vcenterpassword "P@ssw0rd1" -vcentercluster Synergy-Cluster Deploy two ESXi Hosts using the Image Streamer default OS Deployment plan in "Frame1-CN7516060D, bay 3" and "Frame1-CN7516060D, bay 4"
Generate Server Profile names according to the provided pattern name "ESX", i.e. "ESX-1" for the first server, "ESX-2" for the second server.
Enable SSH and ESXi shell on the ESXi Hosts
Present the SAN Volume datastore "vsphere-datastore" to the servers
Assign the default password defined in the OS Deployment plan to the ESXi root user account
Assign an IPv4 address to the Management NIC1 using the OneView IPv4 address pool
Turn on automatically the two ESXi Hosts once their server profiles are created in OneView because the vCenterserver parameter is used
Add the ESXi Hosts to be managed by a vCenter server "vcenter.lj.mougins.net"
Add the ESXi Hosts to the "Synergy-Cluster" vSphere cluster, if not present, the cluster ressource is created
PS C:\> Get-HPOVServer -noprofile | ? {$_.name -match "Bay 5" -and $_.status -eq "ok"} | New-ESXserver -HostnamePattern "ESX" -SSHEnabled -PowerON Deploy ESXi server using the Image Streamer default OS Deployment plan on every compute module located in a "bay 5" with no server profile assigned and with an "ok" status
Generate Server Profile names according to the provided pattern name "ESX", i.e. "ESX-1" for the first server, "ESX-2" for the second server, etc.
Enable SSH and ESXi shell on the ESXi Hosts
Turn on the ESXi Hosts once their server profiles are created in OneView
This PowerShell function efuses a component managed by HPE OneView, i.e. reset virtually (without physically reseting the server). An e-fuse reset causes the component to loose power momentarily as the e-fuse is tripped and reset. Supported components are : compute, interconnect, appliance and Frame Link Modules. A prompt requesting efuse confirmation is always provided.
Supports common parameters -verbose, -whatif, and -confirm.
OneView administrator account is required.
IP address of the Composer. Default: 192.168.1.110
OneView administrator account of the Composer. Default: Administrator
password of the OneView administrator account. Default: password
The server hardware resource to efuse. This is normally retrieved with a Get-HPOVServer call.
Can also be the Server Hardware name, e.g. Frame2-CN7515049L, bay 4.
Accepts pipeline input ByValue and ByPropertyName
The interconnect hardware resource to efuse. This is normally retrieved with a Get-HPOVInterconnect call.
Can also be the Interconnect Hardware name, e.g. Frame1-CN7516060D, interconnect 3.
The serial number of the composable infrastructure appliance resource to efuse; e.g. UH53CP0509.
This is normally retrieved with a (Get-HPOVEnclosure).applianceBays.serialnumber call.
The serial number of the frame link module resource to efuse; e.g. CN7514V012.
This is normally retrieved with a (Get-HPOVEnclosure).managerbays.serialnumber call.
