Using The Systems Build and Update Utility 37
• the number of disks must be the same or more.
• the disk sizes are the same or more.
• the available disks must be of the same type – a mix of SAS, small
computer system interface (SCSI), and Solid State Disk (SSD) will not be
supported.
Once the above criteria are satisfied, you can follow step 1 through step 11
(under "Deploying More Than One System With the Same Configuration")
to update and deploy more than one system with slightly different
configuration.
Deploying Multiple Systems of Different Models
In this scenario, you can deploy multiple systems of different models; for
example, you can deploy 25 PowerEdge R710 systems, 50 PowerEdge R610
systems, and 25 PowerEdge T610 systems.
Important!
• Ensure that you select multiple systems that you want to deploy on the
Select System(s) screen.
•The
Firmware Update module displays all the update packages for the
systems you selected. Depending on the system model, you must select what
components need to be updated.
• The Hardware Configuration module displays all the configuration options
under different tabs. Ensure that you select all relevant options for all the
systems you selected.
• The list of operating systems displayed in the
Server Operating System
Installation (SOI)
module are a subset of supported operating systems that
can be installed across the selected systems. This means, if you select systems
that have no supported operating systems in common, the
SOI module will
not display any operating system and you will not be to proceed with your
deployment process.
To deploy multiple systems of different models, follow step 1 through step 11
(under "Deploying More Than One System With the Same Configuration").
