Managed Server Limitations

This section lists managed server hardware and network configuration limitations.

• If your N1 System Manager provides only a management network or only a provisioning network, then the N1 System Manager operates in a restricted mode when installed. N1 System Manager provides two default security roles with specific privileges assigned for the restricted mode of operation. For further information, see:

  • Restricted Mode: Management Network Only

  • Restricted Mode: Provisioning Network Only

  The N1 System Manager serial console and firmware update features are not available for the V490 and V890 servers.

  • The X2100 BIOS version 1.0.7 does not allow OS provisioning.

  • The N1 System Manager serial console and firmware update features are not available for the X2100 server.
