Click Next to continue. 8. If there is more than one datastore available on the host, the Datastore page displays. Select the location to store virtual machine (VM) files, and then click Next to continue. 9. On the Disk Format page, choose one of the following options: • To allocate storage space to virtual machines.
4. Click Next . h. On the Select Destination page, select the destination host group that contains the Hyper-V server where you want to deploy ASM VM. Click Next . i. On the Select Host page, select the host on which you want to deploy ASM, and then click Next .
3 Configuring ASM Virtual Appliance You must configure the following settings in the virtual appliance console before you start using ASM: • Change Dell administrator password. For detailed information, see Changing Delladmin Password • Configure static IP Address in the virtual appliance.
10. For Hyper-V only, reboot ASM virtual appliance. Configuring ASM Virtual Appliance as PXE Boot Responder ASM requires both PXE and DHCP network services to function. ASM may be configured to act as the DHCP server and PXE responder on a PXE network if one is not present in the environment.
4 Customizing Virtual Machine Templates for VMware and Hyper-V ASM supports cloning virtual machines (VM) or virtual machine templates in VMware, and cloning virtual machine templates in Hyper-V.
• To install the puppet agent on the virtual machine, copy the puppet agent install files to the virtual machine. The puppet agent is available on the ASM appliance for both Windows and Linux in /var/lib/razor/repo-store directory.
NOTE: Additional lines may be present in the puppet.conf file for your system. It is not necessary to delete any information from this file. You just need to ensure the previously noted section is present in the file. Customizing Linux Template Perform the following task to customize Linux template: 1.
b. Run the following command, and ensure that you see the above line, to verify the crontab is updated as expected or not, crontab -l 6. After completing customization, turn off the virtual machine. To create a virtual machine template, follow the appropriate steps for virtualization environment.
NOTE: To create a virtual machine template in SCVMM, make sure the virtual machine template OS Configuration has an administrator password and if necessary, a Windows product key set.
5 Configuring ASM Virtual Appliance for NetApp Storage Support For ASM to support NetApp, perform the following tasks: • Add NetApp Ruby SDK libraries to the appliance. For more information about adding SDK libraries, see Adding NetApp Ruby SDK • Enable HTTP/HTTPs for the NFS share.
sudo patch /etc/pupetlabs/puppet/modules/netapp/lib/puppet/util/ network_device/netapp/NaServer.rb < /tmp/NaServer.patch 8. Update the permissions on the NetApp module. To update the permissions, run the following command: sudo chmod 755 /etc/puppetlabs/puppet/modules/netapp/lib/puppet/util/ network_device/netapp/* 9.
• The Percentage of Space to Reserve for Snapshot • Auto-increment • Persistent • NFS Target IP 36.
6 Completing Initial Configuration Log in to ASM using the appliance IP address, After logging into ASM, you need to complete the basic configuration setup in the Initial Setup wizard. For more information about completing the initial setup, see the Active System Manger Version 8.

A Deploying WinPE on the Virtual Appliance You need to perform the following configuration tasks before using ASM to deploy Windows OS. NOTE: You should use Microsoft ADK 8.1 or ADK 8.0 installed in the default location.. 1. Create a Windows .iso that has been customized for use with ASM using ADK and build-razor- winpe.
NOTE: • If any additional drivers are required, add the drivers under the “Drivers” folder in the build directory you created on your ADK machine. The drivers are installed into the Windows image, if applicable. The drivers that do not apply to the OS being processed are ignored.
a. In the Repository Name box, enter the name of the repository. b. In the Image Type box, enter the image type. c. In the Source File or Path Name box, enter the path of the OS Image file name in a file share. d. If using a CIFS share, enter the User Name and Password to access the share.
42.
B Configuring DHCP or PXE on External Servers The PXE service requires a DHCP server configured to provide boot server (TFTP PXE server) information and specific start-up file information.
Create the DHCP Policy 1. Open the Windows 2012 DHCP Server DHCP Manager. 2. In the console tree, expand the scope that will service your ASM PXE network. Right-click Policies and select New Policy . The DHCP Policy Configuration Wizard is displayed. 3.
Create the DHCP User Class You must create the user class for the DHCP server before creating the DHCP Policy. 1. Open the Windows 2008 DHCP Server DHCP manager. 2. In the console tree, navigate to IPv4 . Right click IPv4 , and then click Define User Classes from the drop-down menu.
Configuring DHCP for Linux You can manage the configuration of the Linux DHCPD service by editing the dhcpd.conf configuration file. The dhcpd.conf is located at /etc/dhcp directory of most Linux distributions. If the DHCP is not installed on your Linux server, install the Network Infrastructure Server or similar services.
After you modify the dhcpd.conf file based on your environment, you need to start or restart your DHCPD service. For more information, see http://ipxe.org/howto/dhcpd Sample DHCP Configuration # dhcpd.conf # # Sample configuration file for ISC dhcpd # #option definitions common to all supported networks.
