If the proxy settings are provided in the configuration, then the proxy settings are used to
access the Repository URL provided in the Administration Portal. However, if the URL to the
Update Repository is an internal URL, then disable the proxy setting. If you do not disable the
internal proxy setting, then the appliance attempts to connect to the URL with the proxy.
 A hardware profile created using a reference server with a certain BIOS version could cause
deployment to fail. Some BIOS versions do not give accurate information for certain BIOS
settings, such as the Embedded NIC1 and NIC2 settings. When a server with BIOS version is
used as a reference server in a hardware profile, the fields are ignored both by the UI and by
deployment. A problem could arise, however, if the settings in question are required to have a
certain value for deployment to complete successfully.
The solution to this issue is to use a server with an up to date BIOS as a reference server for a
hardware profile.
Note: Servers being used for deployment should also have updated BIOS. If deployment tries
to apply settings to a server with problematic BIOS, deployment fails. Currently the BIOS
version is not checked for compliance, but it is displayed on the server compliance page.
Warnings are displayed on the hardware profile reference server and BIOS settings pages, as
well as when they select a deployment template with an affected hardware profile during
deployment.
To resolve this issue, use one of the following BIOS versions:
