Choosing a Blueprint Scenario
Depending on your environment and the methods of provisioning your fabric administrators have
prepared, there are several procedures available to create the blueprint for your needs.
All of these provisioning methods require preparation by your fabric administrators before you can create
a blueprint and provision machines. Please contact your fabric administrators to determine which
provisioning methods they have prepared for you.
