1. Select one or more BladeCenter units from the middle (contents) pane of the
console window.
Note: A lock icon beside a newly discovered BladeCenter unit indicates that the
Director server cannot log into the management module for that
BladeCenter unit, which can mean that the management module has not
been configured yet. You might want to select that BladeCenter unit for
initial configuration through the wizard.
2. Perform either of the following actions:
v Right-click the selected BladeCenter units (managed objects).
v Drag the wizard task from the right-most pane (under BladeCenter in the task
list) to any of the selected BladeCenter units (managed objects).
The wizard begins, and takes you through the login and configuration tasks
needed.
The following illustration shows the main window on the BladeCenter Deployment
wizard.
Using Remote Deployment Manager Version 3.1.01
You can use the Remote Deployment Manager (RDM) Version 3.1.01 (or later) with
the RDM patch 2 (blade server patch) program to install a supported Microsoft
Windows operating system or a BIOS update onto a blade server only if the blade
server patch has been applied to RDM. Follow the instructions in the documentation
that comes with the RDM program and with the patch, to log into the BladeCenter
system and install a supported Microsoft Windows operating system or BIOS
update.
Go to the following Web site for updated information about the RDM program and
to download the software:
