# Prerequisites

Before integrating the HPE BMaaS with Morpheus Enterprise, verify that the following prerequisites are met to ensure successful deployment and operation.

## Supported Hardware

HPE BMaaS supports the following HPE ProLiant server platforms:

Ensure that servers are equiped with a supported HPE iLO version and are reachable over the network.

## Network Connectivity

The Morpheus Enterprise appliance must have:

- Network connectivity to the iLO management interface of each ProLiant server
- Network connectivity to the physical data network interfaces used for operating system provisioning
- Proper routing and firewall rules allowing bidirectional communication between Morpheus and target servers
- For environments using managed networking, additional connectivity to supported network switches (for example, HPE Aruba CX) is required.

## Access Credentials

Ensure the following credentials are available for each ProLiant server:

- iLO IP address
- iLO administrator username
- iLO administrator password

Credentials must have sufficient privileges to perform power operations, hardware inventory, and virtual media mounting.

## Morpheus Platform Requirements

- A supported version of Morpheus Enterprise is installed and operational
- Administrative access to Morpheus for HPE BMaaS installation and configuration
- Sufficient storage configured in Morpheus for OS images

## Operating System Images
