Setting First Boot Device
You can specify the CMC first boot device for each server. This may not be the actual first boot device for the server or even
represent a device present in that server; instead it represents a device sent by CMC to the server and used as its first boot device
in regard to that server.
You can set the default boot device and set a one-time boot device so that you can boot a image to perform tasks such as running
diagnostics or reinstalling an operating system.
You can set the first boot device for the next boot only or for all subsequent reboots. Based on this selection, you can set the first
boot device for the server. The system boots from the selected device on the next and subsequent reboots and remains as the first
boot device in the BIOS boot order, until it is changed again either from the CMC Web interface or from the BIOS boot sequence.
NOTE: The first boot device setting in CMC Web Interface overrides the System BIOS boot settings.
The boot device that you specify must exist and contain bootable media.
You can set the following devices for first boot.
