Host profile or physical computer profile is the configuration settings that can be used to deploy new physical servers as well as clusters using Bare Metal deployment. In this recipe, the following network settings will be configured during host provisioning:
I assume that you already have networking fabric configured in the VMM, as we will use four physical adapters allocated to the logical switch named SET-1G in order to get converged networks on host after bare-metal deployment.
Although you are not required to use Consistent Device Naming (CDN), if the physical server that is going to be provisioned does support CDN, you will have first to configure the CDN in the BIOS. This will allow the OS to read the information from the BIOS at the deployment time, and then when configuring the network in the host profile you will be able to provide the name in the configuration settings, which will then allocate the networking settings...
