How to Identify the Subnet for the OS Provisioning Server (Browser Interface)

To manage the subnet from the browser interface, follow these steps.

Steps

1. In the Common Tasks section of the N1 SPS browser interface, select OS Provisioning.

2. On the OS Provisioning Common Tasks page, click Manage in the OSP Subnets section.

3. On the Component Details page, click the Run action in the Create row.

4. Choose variables to use for this plan.

   • To use an existing variables set, select a name from the drop-down menu in the Service component row of the Plan Parameters table.

   • To create a new variables set, click Select from List in the Service component row of the Plan Parameters table.

     1. Click Create Set.

     2. Type a name for the variables set.

     3. Change variables as needed.

        Variable	Description	Example
        installPath	Subnet address	10.42.42.0
        mask	Subnet mask	255.255.255.0
        gateway	Gateway for the subnet	10.42.42.1
        host_interface	Interfaces on the OS provisioning server to be used for this subnet	hme0
        host_address	Host address that is assigned to the host_interface	10.42.42.1

        Note –

        The OS provisioning software creates the interfaces and assigns the addresses during provisioning operation, if those values are not set already.

     5. Select the variables set that you just saved from the drop-down menu in the Service component row of the Plan Parameters table.
