Auto-deployment settings after enclosure import

After the enclosure is imported, auto-deployment status shows that a configuration has not yet been

deployed, as indicated by the "Not Deployed" information in the status field. The "Last Deployment" field is

blank because a deployment has not yet been attempted. The "TFTP Mode" is set to "Auto", which is the
default setting. This means that the TFTP settings will be acquired from the DHCP server during deployment.
If the DHCP server is configured properly to support auto-deployment, the TFTP server and TFTP file fields are

populated with the TFTP server and configuration file that is used for deployment. If the DHCP server is not

configured properly, the TFTP server and file are blank.

Starting a deployment operation

To initiate a deployment operation, enter the start auto-deployment command in the CLI console. After

the deployment process is started, you can use the show auto-deployment command to view status

throughout the deployment process.
After a deployment is started, the firmware enters a deployment mode. If the DHCP server and TFTP server
are properly configured to support auto-deployment and exist on the management network, a deployment

occurs.

->start auto-deployment

WARNING: Initiating the deployment process will power off all physical

servers and clear all current VC domain configuration, resulting in an outage.

Are you sure you want to continue? (yes/no) : yes

SUCCESS: Auto-deployment started
