If you are managing multiple servers using the Lenovo XClarity Administrator, you can update firmware for
all managed servers through that interface. Firmware management is simplified by assigning firmware-
compliance policies to managed endpoints. When you create and assign a compliance policy to managed
endpoints, Lenovo XClarity Administrator monitors changes to the inventory for those endpoints and flags
any endpoints that are out of compliance.

Lenovo XClarity Administrator

You can quickly provision and pre-provision all of your servers using a consistent configuration.
Configuration settings (such as local storage, I/O adapters, boot settings, firmware, ports, and Lenovo
XClarity Controller and UEFI settings) are saved as a server pattern that can be applied to one or more
managed servers. When the server patterns are updated, the changes are automatically deployed to the
applied servers.
