Setting the First Boot Device for Servers
The First Boot Device page allows you to specify the CMC first boot device
for each server. This may not be the actual first boot device for the server or
even represent a device present in that server; instead it represents a device
sent by the CMC to the server and used as its first boot device in regard to
that server.
You can set the default boot device and you can also set a one-time boot
device so that you can boot a special image to perform tasks such as running
diagnostics or reinstalling an operating system.
The boot device that you specify must exist and contain bootable media.
Table 5-2 lists the boot devices that you can specify.
Table 5-2. Boot Devices

Local CD/DVD Boot from a CD/DVD drive on the server.

disk image) is on another computer on the management
network, and is attached using the iDRAC GUI console viewer.
