Installing an IPMI Utility
You use a third-party IPMI utility on your computer to create an SOL connection to the appliance.
If your computer is running Linux or Mac OS, use IPMItool. Although IPMItool is standard with many Linux
distributions, you must install IPMItool on a Mac. First, confirm that your Mac has Apple's xCode developer tools
package installed. Also, make sure the optional components for command line development are installed ("UNIX
Development" and "System Tools" in newer versions, or "Command Line Support" in older versions). Finally,
install MacPorts and IPMItool. For more information, use your favorite search engine or see these sites:
https://developer.apple.com/technologies/tools/
http://www.macports.org/
For Windows environments, use ipmiutil, which you must compile yourself. If you do not have access to a compiler,
you can use ipmiutil itself to compile. For more information, use your favorite search engine or see this site:
http://ipmiutil.sourceforge.net/
Preconfiguring Firepower Management Centers
You can preconfigure your Management Center at a staging location (a central location to preconfigure or stage
multiple appliances) to be deployed at a target location (any location other than the staging location).
To preconfigure and deploy an appliance to a target location, perform the following steps:
Install the system on the device at the staging location.
Shut down and ship the appliance to the target location.
Deploy the appliances in the target locations.
Note:
Save all packing materials and include all reference material and power cords when repackaging the
appliance.
