Hypervisor deployment

Using the appliance, you can perform firmware update and hypervisor deployment based on the golden configuration. You can use

the LC Driver Injection feature for the factory delivered servers that ship with the latest driver packs. Also, you can update the

driver packs, and get the same benefits of installing latest drivers during hypervisor deployments and firmware updates.

Table 1. Different scenarios for hypervisor deployment

If you require the latest factory drivers and out-of-band drivers While creating a hypervisor profile, enable LC (Lifecycle

Controller) driver injection.

If you want to retain the existing hardware configuration While creating a deployment template, select only the

hypervisor profile.
