Deployment job timing

The system profile and ISO profile deployment can take between 30 minutes to several hours to complete, depending on multiple factors. When starting a deployment job, it is recommended that you plan your deployment time according to the guidelines provided. The amount of time it takes to complete the system profile and ISO profile deployment varies with deployment type, complexity, and number of deployment jobs running simultaneously. The deployment jobs are run in batches of up to five concurrent servers to improve time for the overall deployment job. The exact number of concurrent jobs depends on available resources.

The following table displays the average value, and may vary based on factors like configuration of the server, generation of the server, and number of bare metal servers scheduled for deployment:
Table 1. Approximate deployment time for a single server The following table provides the approximate deployment time:
Deployment type Approximate time per deployment
ISO profile only Between 30–130 
System profile only 5–6 minutes
System profile and ISO profile 30–130 minutes

Server status within deployment sequence

The servers that are discovered during auto discovery or manually are classified in different states to help determine if the server is new to the data center or has a pending deployment job scheduled. The administrators can use these statuses to check the hardware configuration status.

Table 2. Server states in the deployment sequenceThe following table describes various statuses of the server:
Server state Description
Unconfigured The server is added to OMIVV and is waiting to be configured.
Configured The server is configured with all hardware information that is required for a successful operating system deployment.
