Deployment job timing

The provisioning and deploying bare-metal servers can take between 30 minutes to several hours to complete, depending on several 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 provisioning and deployment varies with deployment type, complexity, and number of deployment jobs running simultaneously. The following table provides the approximate time a deployment job can take. 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.

Table 1. Approximate deployment time The following table provides the approximate deployment time.
Deployment type Approximate time per deployment
Hypervisor only Between 30 minutes to 130 minutes
Hypervisor and hardware profiles 1 to 4 hours

Server states within deployment sequence

When an inventory job is run, the auto/maually discovered bare-metal systems 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 states to determine if a server should be included in a deployment job. The following are the states:

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