• Lenovo XClarity Administrator
If you are managing multiple solutions using the Lenovo XClarity Administrator, you can update firmware
for all managed solutions through that interface. Firmware management is simplified by assigning
firmware-compliance policies to managed endpoints. When you create and assign a compliance policy to
managed endpoints, Lenovo XClarity Administrator monitors changes to the inventory for those endpoints
and flags any endpoints that are out of compliance.
