Installing an OS and drivers through FIST

management.
To install an OS on multiple servers in bulk, configure a server template that defines OS settings and
drivers from FIST, and then apply the server template to the servers.
For information about server templates and OS types supporting installation through FIST, see the
FIST user guide.
