Setting First Boot Device

You can specify the CMC first boot device for each server. This may not be the actual first boot device for the server, or

may not even represent a device present in that server. It represents a device sent by CMC to the server and used as its

first boot device of that server. This device can be set as the default first-boot device or an one-time device so that you

can boot an image to perform tasks such as running diagnostics or reinstalling an operating system.

You can set the first boot device for the next boot only or for all subsequent reboots. You can also set the first boot

device for the server. The system boots from the selected device on the next and subsequent reboots and remains as

the first boot device in the BIOS boot order, until it is changed again either from the CMC web interface or from the BIOS

boot sequence.

NOTE: The first boot device setting in CMC web Interface overrides the system BIOS boot settings.

The boot device that you specify must exist and contain a bootable media.

You can set the following devices for first boot.
