Using a Deployment Settings package to configure a single server (overview)
IMPORTANT:
• Before using a deployment to install an OS, be sure that the drives and arrays are configured.
• Do not interrupt the configuration process.
• Deployment Settings are not compatible with an SD card (Available install methods, source
media types, and formats supported for each OS family) OS installation.
