BMI Server Macros in Template Files

The configuration template files (netboot and kickstart) contain parameter macros. The BMI server substitutes the macros with actual data when a system is added as a managed host of the BMI server. The macros are needed as-is for BMI server operations.


Caution – Caution –

Do not change the macro text or the placement of the macros in the file.
