Administration page

Use this page to perform all the administrative tasks that are required to successfully complete the provisioning process. This includes configuration tasks, creating the stage and boot servers,and specifying the default images.

You can create a Staging Server (or an intermediate server) from here, that will contain the image files in an uncompressed format. As an administrator, you will extract the image files to the staging server. This will aid in ease of use of the Images.

The administration tasks performed here will also facilitatte in load balancing of the entire provisioning operation, thus resulting in enhanced performance.

This page also helps you (the administrator) keep track of, and resolve any inconsistencies/errors even during the preliminary stages of the provisioning process.

The RPM Repository Configuration section of this page helps you to add the name and the path for the required RPM repositories.

The Boot server Configuration section of this page helps you add the host name and the appropriate boot configuration directory for the boot servers.

The Default Images section of this page helps you to specify the images that are to be provisioned to the new hardware servers.
