Pre-deployment tasks
Pre-deployment tasks, as shown in Table 25, include procedures that do
not directly relate to environment installation and configuration, but you
will need the results from these tasks at the time of installation. Examples of
pre-deployment tasks are collection of host names, IP addresses, VLAN IDs,
license keys, installation media, and so on. You should perform these tasks
before the customer visit to reduce the amount of time required on site.
