To Add the Base Management Feature

This procedure describes how to enable the base management feature on a server with a newly deployed OS. The base management feature is used to enable remote command execution and package deployment.

Uninstallation of the base management feature is not supported.

The agent IP used in this procedure is the IP address of the provisionable server's data network interface to be monitored by the management server. The interface can be eth1/bge1 or eth0/bge0, but usually is eth0/bge0.
