Follow these steps for an initial deployment.
-
Update the firmware of the AMM, blade service processor,
blade BIOSes and adapters. See Upgrading firmware.
-
Create an initial configuration file. See Creating a configuration file automatically.
-
Download and store the new configuration file in a safe
location. This file is the source of your BOFM configuration.
-
Update the configuration file, if required, and save the
resulting file.
-
Create a requirements report. Validate that you can apply
the BOFM configuration
without errors. You can apply the configuration successfully
even if no blades are present or if the blade's firmware does not
support Basic BOFM.
In this case, the AMM stores the configuration on the AMM and it pushes
it to the blade when it is inserted or when its firmware is updated.
See Creating a requirements report.
-
Apply the BOFM configuration.
