On the Credentials Management page, the name you entered for your new
credentials appears in the list of credentials.
You can use zero-touch provisioning to set up your brand new servers. This
functionality is included in the Dell Server Provisioning task.
See
"About zero-touch provisioning"
The main goal of this task is to set the default behavior for new servers. You define
the tasks that should run on every server, as long as you don t specify tasks based
on every service tag.
If a server s service tag is in the Predefined Service Tags list, you can specify
what credentials are assigned to that server and what tasks it runs. For example,
service tag X gets credentials Dell and runs the new server job task. When that
server starts up, Deployment Solution already knows about it and can assign it
the proper credentials and run the specified tasks on it.
You can define the default behavior for every new server or specify a different
behavior for every service tag.
After you define the provisioning behaviors, a table displays in the middle of the
task page and contains the following information:
Service Tag - A list of service tags that you defined or imported. Service tags
identify Dell servers and are the same as the serial number of the server.
iDRAC Credential - The credentials that are needed to access the iDRAC.
Deployment Job - The tasks or job to run.
If you have remote site servers in your environment, you must enable the WSMan
task handler policy on those site servers. The policy must be enabled before you
can provision all of your servers. You can access this policy from the Settings >
All Settings > Agents/Plug-ins > Deployment and Migration > Windows > Dell
Provisioning WSMan Task Handlers Install menu.
