Deployment Wizard
To perform deployment on unassigned servers, you require a credential profile, deployment template, and an update source for firmware update. The deployment template must contain a hypervisor profile. It can also optionally contain a hardware profile. Firmware updates and operating systems are deployed only on servers that are compliant.
