From "HP Insight Control for Microsoft System Center integration overview" Document. By incorporating the Insight Control for System Center extensions, you can use the System Center consoles or the following tasks, which Figure 1 also shows:

- Bare metal OS deployment
When using the ProLiant Server OS Deployment Toolkit with SCCM, you can automatically deploy bare-metal servers from pre-deployment hardware and BIOS configuration to the post-OS driver and agent installation.

- Automated virtual machine management
When using the PRO management pack in SCVMM, you can move virtual machines either automatically or manually if a host hardware pre-failure event occurs.

(see the paragraph adjacent to the image)3722776-4304942.html?dnr=1 Overview Do you need a direct attached or shared storage solution within your BladeSystem enclosure? The D2200sb Storage Blade delivers direct attached storage for c- Class servers, with support for up to twelve SFF SAS hard disk drives or SAS/SATA SSDs or SATA Midline hard drives. The enclosure backplane provides a PCI Express connection to the adjacent c-Class server blade and enables high performance storage access without any additional cables. The D2200sb features the onboard Smart Array P410i controller with 1 GB flashbacked write cache, for increased performance and data protection. Use the HP StoreVirtual VSA to turn the D2200sb into an iSCSI SAN for use by all severs in the enclosure and any server on the network. VSA includes remote replication capabilities, thin provisioning, and snapshot. Combine the D2200sb with the HP X1800sb Network Storage Blade to enable file serving iSCSI shared storage inside the BladeSystem enclosure.

Place a Host in Maintenance Mode
You place a host in maintenance mode when you need to service it, for example, to install more memory. A host enters or leaves maintenance mode only as the result of a user request. Virtual machines that are running on a host entering maintenance mode need to be migrated to another host (either manually or automatically by DRS) or shut down. The host is in a state of Entering Maintenance Mode until all running virtual machines are powered down or migrated to different hosts. You cannot power on virtual machines or migrate virtual machines to a host entering maintenance mode.

When no more running virtual machines are on the host, the host's icon changes to include under maintenance and the host's Summary panel indicates the new state. While in maintenance mode, the host does not allow you to deploy or power on a virtual machine.

Note DRS does not recommend (or perform, in fully automated mode) any virtual machine migrations off of a host entering maintenance or standby mode if the vSphere HA failover level would be violated after the host enters the requested mode.
Procedure
In the vSphere Client inventory, right-click a host and select Enter Maintenance Mode. If the host is part of a partially automated or manual DRS cluster, a list of migration recommendations for virtual machines running on the host appears. If the host is part of an automated DRS cluster, virtual machines are migrated to different hosts when the host enters maintenance mode.
If applicable, click Apply Recommendations.
The host is in maintenance mode until you select Exit Maintenance Mode
