A firmware baseline is a reference to a catalog to which a set of devices are associated to adhere to the
particular firmware level. A baseline can be associated on the basis of one baseline-to-many device and
many baselines-to-many devices. For example, the baseline you create for a BIOS version can be associated
to many servers. Similarly, you can associate two baselines to one device—say, one for the iDRAC firmware
version and the other for BIOS.
Using firmware baseline in Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise
This section describes the steps to create a firmware baseline and associate the baseline with a catalog and
devices or groups.
1. On the Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise page, click Configuration  Firmware.
2. Click Create Baseline.
In the Create Firmware Baseline dialog box:
a. In the Baseline Information section:
i. From the Catalog drop-down menu, select a catalog type.
ii. To add a catalog to this list, click Add. See Manage firmware catalogs in Dell EMC
OpenManage Enterprise in this technical white paper.
iii. In the Baseline Name box, enter a name for the baseline, and then enter the baseline
description.
