Adding a baseboard management controller (BMC)

Adding an baseboard management controller (BMC) into the Lenovo XClarity Integrator Add-in is a precondition for some functions, such as the PFA function.

There are two steps to add BMC:

1. BMC discovery
2. BMC authentication

• BMC discovery
  This function is to discover BMC entries.
• BMC authentication
  This function is to input username and password information for BMC entries. The information is saved in the XClarity Integrator database for future use in other functions.
