# SolarWinds IPAM

## Features

- Automate static IP assignment across environments using Solarwinds IPAM
- Network pool sync: Network pools can be set on networks in HPE Morpheus Enterprise for automated IP allocation and record creation
- Optional Network Pool allocation and record sync. `Inventory Existing` option syncs all individual IP records and corresponding status. Inventory is not required for provisioning
- Grid and list displays with IP record overlays and color coding for static, available, reserved and transient status
- Manual IP Host record creation from Network Pool detail pages

## Adding SolarWinds to HPE Morpheus Enterprise

### Procedure

1. Navigate to Infrastructure  >  Network  >  Integrations
2. Click + ADD
3. Select SolarWinds
4. Enter in the following information 

   Name
   :   Name of the SolarWinds Integration in HPE Morpheus Enterprise

   Enabled
   :   Deselect to disable sync with the SolarWinds endpoint

   URL
   :   URL of the SolarWinds server, ex: `http://10.30.20.10:17778`

   Username
   :   Username of SolarWinds API User. See the NOTE box below for information on minimum rights requirements

   Password
   :   SolarWinds User password
5. Click SAVE CHANGES

### Results

NOTE

At minimum you will need credentials for a user with API and root-level propagating read access, as well as read/write access for target networks and domains. For a quicker solution, you can also use an account with the Power User role in situations where you aren’t concerned with providing only the minimum required access.

## Consuming SolarWinds in HPE Morpheus Enterprise

On saving your new integration, SolarWinds networks will be synced and can be viewed by navigating to Infrastructure  >  Network  >  IP POOLS. They’re also viewable from the detail section of the SolarWinds integration at Infrastructure  >  Network  >  INTEGRATIONS  >  (your SolarWinds integration)  >  NETWORK POOLS.

Host records can also be viewed here by clicking on the name of a SolarWinds network.

NOTE

HPE Morpheus Enterprise SolarWinds integration does not support zone record syncing despite the presence of the ZONES tab on the integration detail page. This is a UI feature carried over from other networking integrations and is not supported at this time.

## Adding IP Pools to Networks

### About this task

HPE Morpheus Enterprise can automatically assign the next available SolarWinds IP in an IP/Network Pool and create the corresponding DNS records. HPE Morpheus Enterprise will also remove the records upon teardown. To enable this, add an SolarWinds IP/Network Pool to the Network Pool section on a Network(s).

### Procedure

1. Navigate to Infrastructure  >  Network  >  Networks
2. Select a Network name and click EDIT
3. In the NETWORK POOL typeahead field, search for and select the name of the selected IP/Network Pool. 

   - Gateway, DNS, and CIDR must be populated for static/pool IP assignment
   - Select ALLOW IP OVERRIDE, if desired, to allow selecting between DHCP, static IP address entry, and pool address selection at provision time
   - Deselect DHCP server if a DHCP server will not be used on the network (only static and/or IP Pool IP assignment)
4. Select SAVE CHANGES

## Creating Host Records

3. Enter the following 

   HOSTNAME
   :   Hostname for the record

   IP ADDRESS
   :   IP address for the Host Record
