Creating a requirements report

It is best practice to create a requirements report before you apply the BOFM configuration.

The requirements report verifies the firmware level of the blades BMC, BIOS, and adapters. It also goes through a dry run of the first part of applying the BOFM configuration and checks to see if there are potential problems.

Creating a requirements report from "The Configuration File Has Been Created" page in the AMM Web interface

Follow the steps outlined in Creating a configuration file automatically.
On The Configuration File Has Been Created page, click creating a requirements report.

Creating a requirements report from the main Open Fabric Manager Configuration Management page on the AMM Web interface

Login to the AMM Web interface.
In the left pane, under Blade Tasks, select Open Fabric Manager. The Open Fabric Manager Configuration Management page opens in the right pane.
Select Create a Requirements Report. The Create a Requirements Report page opens in the right pane.
Click Browse to locate the configuration file for which you are creating the requirements report. This would typically be a configuration file you want to use to apply a new BOFM configuration.
You can select Advanced Options to override certain checks. See Applying a new configuration for more information.
After you locate the configuration file, click OK.

If no parsing errors are found in the configuration file, the Requirements Report page is shown.
