The POSH-HPEOneView library ships with a set of sample scripts that cover the most common day-zero and day-two operations for HPE OneView and HPE Synergy environments. Each script is self-contained and designed to be run against a real appliance after substituting environment-specific values. All samples are located in the Samples/ directory of the module repository.
Sample scripts contain placeholder credentials and IP addresses. Review every script carefully and replace all hard-coded values before running against a production appliance.

​
Available samples

Appliance Configuration

Configure a freshly deployed HPE OneView or Synergy Composer appliance end-to-end: EULA acceptance, networking, NTP, certificates, LDAP/AD authentication, local users, SAN managers, and baselines.Scripts: ApplianceConfig_Sample.ps1, ComposerApplianceConfig_Sample.ps1

Server Profiles

Create Server Profile Templates for blade and rack servers, then deploy Server Profiles from those templates. Covers UEFI boot, firmware management, local storage RAID, and multi-connection networking.Scripts: Server_Profile_Template_Multiconnection_Sample.ps1, Server_Profile_Template_Rack_Server_Sample.ps1, Server_Multiconnection_Sample.ps1

Networking

Define Ethernet and Fibre Channel networks, create network sets, and build Logical Interconnect Groups with uplink sets. Includes both single Virtual Connect and Active/Active configurations.Scripts: DefineNetworks_Sample.ps1, DefineNetworks_AA_VC_Sample.ps1, DefineLogicalInterconnectGroup_Sample.ps1

Storage

Add HPE Primera / 3PAR storage systems, create storage pools and volumes, and attach SAN volumes to Server Profiles with full zoning managed by OneView.Scripts: AddStorageSystem_Sample.ps1, Server_Multiconnection_SAN_Storage_Sample.ps1

Add Monitored Servers

Bulk-import rack servers into HPE OneView in monitored mode by reading a CSV file of iLO addresses and credentials. Handles the 64-concurrent-task limit automatically.Script: AddServers_Monitored_Sample.ps1

Enclosure Group

Create a Logical Interconnect Group with Ethernet and Fibre Channel uplink sets, then wrap it in an Enclosure Group ready for enclosure import.Script: CreateEnclosureGroup_Sample.ps1

​
Prerequisites

Before running any sample:
  1. Install the HPEOneView PowerShell module: 
    Install-Module HPEOneView.700
  2. Ensure your workstation can reach the appliance management IP.
  3. Review and update all placeholder values (IP addresses, passwords, hostnames, VLAN IDs, etc.).
  4. Run PowerShell 5.1 or PowerShell 7+ as appropriate for your environment.

​
Running the samples

Most samples either prompt for connection details or connect automatically if $ConnectedSessions is already populated: 
# Connect once, then run any sample
$ApplianceConnection = Connect-OVMgmt -Hostname myoneview.domain.local `
    -Credential (Get-Credential)

# Now dot-source or call the sample script
. .\Samples\DefineNetworks_Sample.ps1
The appliance-configuration scripts are parameterized and must be called with explicit arguments: 
.\ApplianceConfig_Sample.ps1 `
    -vm_ipaddr     10.0.0.50 `
    -Hostname      oneview.corp.local `
    -NewPassword   (Read-Host -AsSecureString 'New admin password') `
    -IPv4Address   10.0.0.51 `
    -IPv4SubnetMask 255.255.255.0 `
    -IPv4Gateway   10.0.0.1 `
    -IPv4DnsServers 10.0.0.10,10.0.0.11 `
    -DnsDomainName corp.local `
    -IPv4NtpServers 10.0.0.20
