Lenovo XClarity Administrator
Lenovo XClarity is a centralized systems management solution that helps administrators deliver infrastructure
faster. This solution integrates easily with Lenovo x86 servers, certified nodes, appliances, RackSwitch
switches, and select Lenovo storage, providing automated agent-less discovery, monitoring, firmware updates,
configuration management, and bare metal deployment of operating systems and hypervisors across multiple
servers.
Lenovo XClarity Administrator is an optional software component for the SR250 server which can be
downloaded and used at no charge to discover and monitor the SR250 and manage firmware upgrades for
them.
If software support is required for Lenovo XClarity Administrator, or Lenovo XClarity Administrator
premium features (such as configuration management and operating system deployment) are required, or
both, Lenovo XClarity Pro software subscription should be ordered. Lenovo XClarity Pro is licensed on a per
managed system basis, that is, each managed Lenovo system requires a license.
