Enabling provisioning server

The Provisioning Server feature allows newly installed servers to automatically discover the remote management console that

hosts the provisioning server. The provisioning server provides custom administrative user credentials to iDRAC, so that the

unprovisioned server can be discovered and managed from the management console. For more information about provisioning

server, see the Lifecycle Controller Remote Services User’s Guide available at dell.com/idracmanuals.
