I've been involved in various upgrades. It's pretty easy to set up with vCenter. We just push out an appliance template in vCenter. We run ours on virtual servers.

Deployment can be done by just one person. The number of people needed for maintenance will depend on your server inventory. If you have more than 100 servers, you will need three to five people. If you have 500 to 1,000 servers, you will need a team of 10 to 20 people.

Deploying HPE OneView was easy.

It took two weeks to deploy HPE OneView. It was a government project, so the process was a bit slow, but typically, one week is enough to deploy the solution.

The initial setup is relatively straightforward. It takes about a day to deploy one system from scratch.

The initial setup can be complicated if you are not familiar with enclosure groups, Logical Integrate Groups, networks, and uplink ports. You can also set up the solution using a script by creating the LIGs and network profiles using one script that is input directly into the solution.

The solution offers a very good, straightforward setup. We had both servers up and running in an hour and a half. 

I'd rate the ease of implementation seven out of ten. There's a lot of stuff we have to manage, which can be time-consuming. 

The setup is easy and offers two installation options. 

Synergy can be installed via a USB drive that opens automatically.

The solution can also be installed as a standalone that opens a virtual machine within fifteen minutes for completion of IPE-4 or IPE-6 setups. 

User guides are available that include setup overviews and instructions. 

The setup is very straightforward. We loaded the virtual appliance, pointed at the old one, pulled the database in, and we were already running.

Version 1.0 was ridiculous. The setup was way too complex compared to iLO, Onboard Administrator, Virtual Connect Manager.

The LDAP configuration that HP has been doing for decades on those types of remote management appliances, apparently none of that was used in V1.0 and even V2.0 OneView. In the later versions of V2.0, the setup was less complex. V3.0 was I think finally, well V3.1 was a really good product, I think.

Setup isn't complex. Initial setup is completed remotely.

If a customer has multiple servers, they will want OneView.

I was involved in the setup. It was pretty straightforward. It's just an appliance. Just three clicks and you're done.

The solution's initial setup process was easy. The deployment process doesn't take too much time, so it is okay.

The setup is very straightforward. You can even do it just by following the step-by-step instructions, i.e., if you're more adventurous and want to get into that. We, actually, had an engagement and had someone to help us on a webinar, i.e., a little bit of taking over control and helping us get it taken care of. However, it was a very straightforward process. There was definitely nothing that was out of the norm.

I was not involved in the initial set up. The upgrade was very straightforward. I was involved in that part. It takes a little while but, no it was no big deal.

The initial setup of HPE OneView was easy.

The solution is deployed on an on-premises model.

I was not involved in the setup. My cohort was.

People on my team were involved in it and it was probably as smooth as we anticipated.

Its initial setup was not much difficult. I was not much familiar with it at that time, so their technical team guided us. Its documentation is available on the HPE portal.

The counterpart who I work with did the majority of the actual hands-on setup. He worked with HPE to get them committed. 

On the Synergy side, for Composer, (OneView composer), he also did the deployment for the virtual appliance that we rolled out, our C-7000. For some of the view, we only brought some of our rack mount servers into view-only mode. I use it, but I didn't implement it.

I was involved in the initial design. So a few things we generally look at from the engineering space are:

• How do we scale?
• How do we manage this?
• How do we manage the currency?
• How do we expand on it if we need to change the footprint and change direction?
• Can we do this easily, or is this a tear down or rebuild?

Straightforward.

The setup was complex because we made it complex. We tried to install it when everything wasn't ready, i.e., our storage wasn't ready so we couldn't really set the storage piece. We tried to kind of fiddle with it and ended up destroying everything; thus we had to recreate it all.

It was extremely straightforward and easy. Wasn't all that much because we were using the OneView, all I had to do was set up one blade, and then all the rest of the blades match, so I can just copy that profile off onto the others.

I was involved in the initial setup. It was straightforward. I just read the manual.

I was not involved in the initial setup.

The setup was pretty straightforward. So to be honest, at the end, we brought in HP services to do the implementation of OneView. Obviously, we sat there with them and got an understanding of what they were doing and what the product did and how you installed it.

It's just basically a virtual client, so it wasn't really all that difficult to set up.

The initial setup was straightforward.

I'm the one who set it all up in our lab. It was very easy. Very straightforward. So, it goes in very simply. We have it running in our virtualization forum and it manages everything we have there.

It’s very straightforward but, unfortunately, not very user friendly. When you’re dealing with private infrastructure, it will always take time to implement from the get-go.

The setup was actually straightforward.

Initial setup was very straightforward. OneView is a very straightforward piece of software to use. I would rate 'ease of use' very highly.

The initial setup was very easy.

Initial setup is fairly straightforward.

It was a complex installation. The user guide was missing content about the configuration.

Setup is straightforward. We are Service One certified partners, so we can install.

The setup was straightforward; it was pretty easy. It's a pretty simple setup; you just install your server. It's a virtual appliance and you throw it on there, start it up, add your chassis and away you go.

I was involved with the initial setup with the engineering and the operations team. It was quite easy.

The setup was fairly straightforward. The UI was easy to use, which was good.

The setup was very complex, but it wasn't always complex. We had some issues at the micro-level, but they resolved all of that.

I was involved in the setup process. When we started the process, it was easy to install. It worked right after we opened some firewall ports; everything worked okay. It was okay in regards to service and management; nothing difficult about that.

I performed the whole installation. It was straightforward. You install and then you add your devices. It does the job as advertised.

One of my things I do in my company is publish a technology blog which is quite technical for the type of audience that I have. OneView is a simple installation. My nine-year-old daughter can do it.

The setup of the product was very easy. We installed it very quickly. The function to discover equipment on the network showed up automatically in the dashboard. It was very quick; took us around an hour.

The initial setup has been straightforward enough, which is good.

The initial setup is very easy. You have to create a virtual machine, turn it on, and go to the setup.

The initial setup was straightforward enough. You just need the VM, then load the software on and away it goes.

The setup is much simpler. I was working with the previous product, HPE SIM, and that was a lot worse to set up. This is really easy to set up.

I was involved in the initial setup and it was very straightforward.

I was involved in the setup process. It was easy and straightforward. There was really no problem with the tool, only with support.

The initial setup was very easy because you can download the appliances on your virtual machine. It is a sort of auto-setup, you can plug into one world and setup is very easy. The configuration was very easy. Since we are technicians for us, it has been easy to install and configure the system.

The setup was straightforward.

I was not involved in the initial setup. That was taken care of by the services team, but it is fairly straightforward.

I guess the setup was a little bit complex. I had to go through a lot of Google documentation and Google Talking because there really wasn't too much out there regarding the steps to go through to do it. I noticed here a nice little wizard which walks you through steps 1 through 15, which is kind of nice.

I was not involved in the setup. The management was involved in the setup.

I was involved in the initial setup process. It was quite straightforward.

Our installations have been straightforward.

The initial setup was absolutely straightforward. Very simple.

The initial setup was straightforward, but partially complex. It was complex in previous versions because not all the online features were available, but currently I think it should be straightforward with version 3.0.

We have two C7000 enclosures in two different datacenters. And the 1U is in a third datacenter. So our management and surveillance is in the third datacenter. It's straightforward to set up.

The initial setup was straightforward.
