Setting the First Boot Device for Servers

The First Boot Device page allows you to specify the boot device for each
blade. You can set the default boot device and you can also set a one-time
boot device so that you can boot a special image to perform tasks such as
running diagnostics or reinstalling an operating system.
To set the first boot device for some or all servers in the chassis:
1 Log in to the CMC Web-based interface.
2 Click Servers in the system tree and then click Setup → Deploy First Boot
Device. A list of servers is displayed, one per row.
3 Select the boot device you want to use for each server from the list box.
4 If you want the server to boot from the selected device every time it boots,
unselect the Boot Once checkbox for the server.
If you want the server to boot from the selected device only on the next
boot cycle, select the Boot Once checkbox for the server.
5 Click Apply.

Configuring and Managing Power

You can use the Web-based and RACADM interfaces to manage and
configure power controls on the CMC, as outlined in the following sections.
For detailed information on the various power management options, see
"Power Management" in the CMC User's Guide.
Configuring Power Budget and Redundancy
The CMC's power management service optimizes power consumption for the
entire chassis (the chassis, servers, I/O modules, iKVM, CMC, and PSUs) and
re-allocates power to different modules based on the demand.
