Lenovo XClarity Administrator

Use this documentation to learn how to use Lenovo XClarity Administrator Version 4.3.

Attention

Lenovo is evolving its systems management strategy by transitioning from XClarity Administrator to XClarity One, a next-generation platform designed for increasingly complex and distributed IT environments. While XClarity Administrator has served as a reliable flagship for years, modern IT demands a shift from fragmented, reactive troubleshooting to a unified, proactive model.

XClarity Administrator and XClarity Orchestrator are planned to be withdrawn from marketing on June 30, 2026, with support planned until June 30, 2027. All future innovation and roadmap investments are now dedicated to XClarity One. To ensure a smooth transition, Lenovo provides a migration tool that is part of XClarity One cloud and on-premises versions, allowing XClarity Administrator customers to move to XClarity One at their own pace.
