57 Zero-touch, bare-metal server provisioning using the Dell EMC iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller Auto Config
8 Conclusion
Auto Config is a powerful feature that allows an IT administrator to configure and provision all components in
PowerEdge servers. It allows rapid, automated provisioning of multiple servers. Using Auto Config,
configuration changes and firmware updates can be made to multiple servers by editing the Server
Configuration Profile, storing the file in a CIFS or NFS share, and enabling this feature. Auto Config also
supports configuration files that are specific by server Service Tag, specific by server model, or generic for all
servers. With iDRAC7 and iDARC8 2.60.60.60 versions and later, and iDRAC9 3.00.00.00 and later versions,
profiles in JSON format are supported; iDRAC9 3.00.00.00 and later also support Auto Config by using HTTP
or HTTPS.
Dell EMC continues to provide its customers with products that simplify and streamline their IT processes,
freeing administrator’s time to focus on activities that help grow the business. For more information about
