Prepare the Provisionable Servers

Before you can use the N1 System Manager N1 System Manager to discover provisionable servers, each provisionable server must be set up as follows:

• An IP address must be assigned to each provisionable server's management port

• Each provisionable server's management processor credentials must be configured: An SSH account must be created, and a password assigned to the account . Where applicable, the management processor IPMI account must be configured and enabled.

For further information, see Setting Up Provisionable Servers in Sun N1 System Manager 1.1 Site Preparation Guide.

Install an OS and the N1 System Manager software on your management server at the same time you set up your provisionable servers.
