Chapter 3. Product management and changes
Because of the Lenovo complexity, extra caution and planning should be exercised before making certain
changes.
High impact changes
The following changes (or lack of adherence) can significantly impact the functionality of the product.
• Changing the point-to-point cabling from the initial configuration.
• Changing any firmware, software, or operating system (including CNOS and ENOS) to levels outside the
Best Recipe.
See Chapter 6 “Firmware maintenance and Best Recipe” on page 13 for more information.
• Changing the IPv4 network scheme, such as addresses and subnets.
• Changing the IPv4 addresses for servers or switches.
• Updating the management stack outside of the recommended levels.
• Resetting the XCC or UEFI to the initial manufacturing defaults.
• Resetting a Lenovo switch to its initial configuration.
Standard management
After the initial ThinkAgile SXM product setup and configuration by Lenovo Professional Services, you should
be able to manage the system routinely with the following software.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator management
Use
Lenovo XClarity Administrator
to monitor and manage the hardware. Typical uses include the following:
• Firmware updates (per the ThinkAgile SXM Best Recipe)
• UEFI settings (per the ThinkAgile SXM Best Recipe)
• Microsoft Azure Stack Patch and Update process
• Hardware alerts and problem resolution
See “ThinkAgile SXM documentation and related content” on page 1 for relevant links.
Note: Lenovo XClarity Administrator does not currently support the Lenovo Cloud Network Operating
System, so management of the switches is not currently enabled.

• Administrator portal
An Administrator can do the following:
– Perform administrative tasks.
– View Resources and Resource Groups.
– Create VMs, Plans, and Offers.
