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. However, to set a device as a default first-boot device, select Default.

To not to override the server firmware version if the firmware version running on the server is same as the version available in the

first boot device, select None.

You can set the following devices for first boot.
