Create a firmware/driver baseline
A baseline is a set of devices or group of devices that are associated with a firmware/driver catalog. A baseline is created for
compliance evaluation of the firmware and drivers for the devices in that baseline against the versions specified in the catalog.
To create a baseline:
NOTE:
● To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-based
operational access to the devices. See Role and scope-based access control in OpenManage Enterprise on page 15.
● Device manager user can only view and manage the firmware/driver baselines that the respective device manager
created and owns. Also, while creating baselines, the target groups or devices (capable of firmware update) that are
only in the device manager's scope are displayed.
● Post upgrade from version 3.5 or earlier, any firmware/driver baselines created by device managers from any of the
prior OpenManage Enterprise releases are only assigned to the administrator. Hence, the device managers must recreate
the firmware/driver baselines from previous versions post upgrade.
● A non-compliant device with a firmware and/or driver version earlier than the catalog version, is not automatically
updated. You must update the firmware version. It is recommended to update device firmware during maintenance
windows to prevent the devices or environment going offline during business hours.
