1 IntroductionNew workloads and business demands require infrastructure that is fast and more efficient. Conven-tional IT architecture creates silos and complexities because of multiple products and tools that lack interoperability.
By bringing servers, storage, networking, and management software together, HPE Synergy meets today’s business, and IT needs efficiently. It is all engineered to work together as a single converged system. The result is simplified, yet robust IT that is energy and space-efficient, less expensive, and aligns to meet the business needs of any workload at any scale. HPE ConvergedSystems are tightly-integrated to help reduce deployment errors along with operational and maintenance costs.
When ordering a customized or pre-configured converged system, the HPE sales personnel, solution-architects, and technical support personnel put together a Customer Intent Document (CID).
The CID stores the requirements of different customers. It contains information on system requirements and configuration which is used by HPE to build the system according to the customer-provided speci-fications.
HPE Smart CID is the Web version of CID. It is a tool that allows you to:
• Select a system
• Select a configuration
• Enter configuration details as per specific business requirements
• Generate configuration files for build automation
• Order a customized and pre-configured system
HPE Smart CID is thus an online collaborative tool that aids in customizing the solution as per the cus-tomer’s datacenter requirements. Highly intuitive, fast, and time-efficient, HPE Smart CID prevents incorrect and incomplete data entry, and unbuildable errors and enables a flawless build at the factory or onsite.
FeaturesHere are some of the feature highlights of HPE Smart CID:
• Web-based: HPE Smart CID is web-based and is accessible from a browser. It is a single location where all the information on customer requirements can be stored and retrieved from, instead of having multiple versions with different updates shared over email chains.
• Simplified Experience:
• Built-in Validations: HPE Smart CID has built-in validations to ensure that the information entered is complete and accurate.
• Autofill: It provides default values for hostnames, IP addresses, and passwords to make the fill-ing up of the CID process faster and more efficient.
• Context-Sensitive Help: The inline help is context-aware. It progressively discloses the required information while continuously prompting the users to provide correct data in the related fields.
• User-friendly and Intuitive Interface: HPE Smart CID’s intuitive and user-friendly interface makes it easy to enter all the CID information in a single location. The interface is similar to other HPE man-agement tools like HPE OneView.
Features 1
• Customized Templates: HPE Smart CID has customized configuration templates which users can select based on their requirements that aids faster decision-making.
Browser compatibilitySmart CID is designed to work on the following browsers:
• Google Chrome
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 11

Table 1. Operating system and HANA revision
Supported BrowsersHPE Smart CID is designed to work on the following browsers:
• Google Chrome (http://www.google.com/chrome/)
• Microsoft Internet Explorer 11 (http://windows.microsoft.com/en-IN/internet-explorer/download-ie)
Smart CID ProcessThe following section gives an overview of the Smart CID process.
1. Presales teams work with customers and their IT contacts to get requirements and details of the converged system.
2. These details are used to create a new CID in Smart CID. When a new CID is created, a CID number is generated by Smart CID.
3. After all the details are entered, and the CID is submitted, Smart CID generates the required config-uration files and a detailed summary of the CID.
4. After the CID is submitted on Smart CID, the Presales team provides the CID number to the GSD PM team. This is then added to the SISP tool by the GSD IND team.
5. For new orders that are added to the daily report, GSD IND team checks if a Smart CID number is available. If the number is available, the CID number is loaded to SISP.
6. The GSD IND team then adds any additional customization information to SISP and releases it to manufacturing to generate a build document for the order.
7. This is then used by the integration centers to build the converged system.

2 Getting StartedSmart CID is a Web-based application. To start using Smart CID, you need to create a user account.
Accessing Smart CIDAccess Smart CID (https://smartcid.itcs.hpe.com/) from a web browser.
Figure 1. HPE Single sign-on (SSO) login for Smart CID.
To start using HPE Smart CID, you need to create a user account by:
• Clicking HPE Employee Login, if you are an HPE employee. HPE Smart CID then authenticates your email address from the HPE corporate directory.
• Clicking Customers/Partners Login, if you are a customer or a partner. You can then sign in with your user name and password on the HPE Passport web page. If you do not have an HPE Passport account, follow the instructions on the HPE Passport web page to create a new account. Log in to HPE Smart CID with your new passport account.
Accessing Smart CID 5
HPE Smart CID interfaceWhen you log in to Smart CID, the default page lists all the CIDs that are created by you. When you cre-ate a new CID, its status is Active. After you enter all the details, and submit, its status changes to Sub-mitted. After you submit a CID, you cannot make changes to the CID.
