It is recommended that you associate your OMIVV hosts with a configuration baseline because it enables you to closely monitor the
configuration changes happening in hosts and associated clusters. Configuration baseline can be created for any cluster once the
hosts are successfully managed by OMIVV. To create a configuration baseline, do the following:
• Create Repository Profile for Firmware and Driver—This helps you to define baselined firmware and driver versions.
• Create System Profile—This helps you to define baselined hardware configurations for hosts.
• Create Cluster Profile—To create successful baseline, select clusters and associate firmware, drivers, and hardware
configurations.
• The hosts present in a PowerEdge MX chassis with an iDRAC IPv4 disabled has to be managed using a chassis credential profile.
