HPE OneView Installation and BladeSystem c7000 Migration Service is a basic fixed-price, fixed-scope installation and startup service for customers transitioning from an existing HPE Virtual Connect Manager/Virtual Connect Enterprise Manager (VCM/VCEM) management environment.

The service includes the installation and configuration of a single HPE OneView virtual appliance on a supported hypervisor host (VMware vSphere® or Microsoft® Hyper-V) on a supported HPE ProLiant server (blade environment). It provides configuration and first-time setup of all managed devices within a single HPE BladeSystem c7000 enclosure. In a rackmount environment, it provides configuration and setup of all managed devices within a single rack.

The service includes bringing the enclosure (or HPE supported ProLiant servers) under management, defining the enclosure’s network configuration (networks, network sets, SAN connectivity, etc.), and creating and assigning server profiles for the server blades in the enclosure (or HPE ProLiant servers). Please refer to the current HPE OneView Support Matrix for details on supported products.

The service also includes the migration of a single HPE BladeSystem c7000 enclosure from an existing HPE VCM/VCEM domain to HPE OneView. Hewlett Packard Enterprise will provide a test and verification session to confirm the configuration setup, along with a brief customer orientation session.

An add-on service is available to migrate up to four additional HPE BladeSystem c7000 enclosures to the same HPE OneView environment during the same service engagement as the initial enclosure service described earlier, with the following requirements:

• The add-on product number must be of the same sales order as the initial service

• Up to four additional enclosures can be included per add-on service

• Up to four add-on services can be included per order

For migrations over larger environments (those with more than 17 enclosures), across multiple locations, and from environments other than HPE VCM/VCEM, please contact your HPE account representative.

When you upgrade your HPE CloudSystem Matrix environment, it is important to make sure that every component of your environment is upgraded to the appropriate, corresponding firmware version.

The HPE CloudSystem Matrix Upgrade Implementation Services include a project manager to coordinate the technical pre-planning, installation, configuration, and testing of your HPE CloudSystem Matrix upgrade package. The Matrix delivery specialist(s) performing the specific upgrade service package will help ensure that all components are upgraded to the proper version, including both software and firmware entities; perform a Matrix functionality demonstration to verify that the environment is fully operational; and provide a brief orientation for your staff.

There are three HPE CloudSystem Matrix Upgrade Implementation Service packages to choose from:

Package 1: CloudSystem Matrix Expansion Kit Implementation Service (2 days)

Integrates up to four CloudSystem Expansion Kits into your existing Matrix environment (upgrades enclosure components’ firmware to the correct version for your Matrix environment)

Package 2: CloudSystem Matrix Upgrade Implementation Service (4 days)

When the current Matrix central management server (CMS) is still sufficient to handle planned managed server growth over the next six to 12 months, both the HPE Insight software and Matrix firmware will be upgraded to versions appropriate to the existing Matrix CMS.

Package 3: CloudSystem Matrix Upgrade with Migration Implementation Service (6 days)

When the current Matrix CMS requires updating to facilitate the planned managed server growth over the next six to 12 months, both the HPE Insight software and Matrix firmware will be upgraded to versions appropriate to your new Matrix CMS (provided by you), and the data from the existing CMS will be migrated over to the new CMS.

HPE StoreOnce single node System Installation and Startup Operational Service provides planning, service deployment, installation verification testing (IVT), and an orientation session to help you deploy the features and functionality of the HPE StoreOnce Systems in your network environment. This operational service covers the installation and configuration of the HPE StoreOnce 2xxx, 3xxx, 4xxx, 51xx, and 55xx Gen3 single node systems and the 36xx, 5200, 5250, and 5650 Gen4 single node systems.

HPE Data Privacy Services bring your organization the necessary infrastructure support to help you protect and optimize sensitive data across the entire IT lifecycle, while accelerating business innovation and complying with data security regulations. The need for data privacy solutions and infrastructure support continues to rise at a very high rate due to changes in government regulations and the business risk mitigation associated with material management and control. When your organization is retiring systems, upgrading storage and servers, returning leased equipment, or redeploying data storing devices, it is critical that you take steps to protect the company information they contain. Simply deleting the files on the hard drive, however, is not enough to make the data permanently inaccessible.

HPE Data Sanitization Services provide the skilled resources and tools to help your organization address this important but often overlooked security risk. Using specialized software techniques, an HPE service specialist or authorized service partner will help ensure that data cannot be reconstructed or retrieved from hard disk media in your server and storage devices. These services offer you a smart alternative or augmentation to physical hardware destruction by executing procedures to remove data from disk media.

For a smooth startup, HPE StoreOnce Recovery Manager Central Software Installation and Startup Service provides deployment of your HPE StoreOnce Recovery Manager Central software, with features designed to both help ensure proper installation in your storage environment and increase the benefit from your storage investment.

your HPE StoreOnce Recovery Manager Central software as more fully described in this document.

This is a one-day service and provides a limited implementation to help you get HPE Recovery Manager Central Software up and running quickly and to provide a demonstration of the product’s key features using sample or test data only.

This service is applicable only to supported environments. Scripting is not within the scope of the service, but can be accommodated at additional charge (scripting can help enable integration and end-to-end automation within your organization’s environment).
