Working with the System Settings function

The System settings function supports to manage the system settings of a host. If the server is managed by Lenovo XClarity Administrator, and Lenovo XClarity Administrator is registered in this Lenovo XClarity Integrator, users can deploy a configuration pattern to the host; otherwise, users can only view the boot options and system settings for the host.

  • Deploying a configuration pattern on a server
    After Lenovo XClarity Administrator has been registered in Lenovo XClarity Integrator, users can deploy or deactivate a configuration pattern on each supported server that is managed by a Lenovo XClarity Administrator. A server pattern represents a pre-OS server configuration, including local storage configuration, I/O adapter configuration, boot settings, and other BMC and UEFI firmware settings. A server pattern is used as an overall pattern to quickly configure multiple servers simultaneously.
  • Working with the Boot Options function
    On the Boot Options pane, the optional devices and the current boot order are displayed from left to right. To change the order, move a boot order option up or down, or click the corresponding arrow buttons between two columns.
  • Viewing and exporting system settings
