Provision Board Management Control Using the CLI

You can provision BMC either when adding a host or at a later time.

BMC can be provisioned to use either Redfish or IPMI. You can allow the selection made dynamically based on the capabilities of the host, in which case Redfish will be used if available, and otherwise IPMI.

For more information about Redfish, see https://www.dmtf.org/standards/redfish.

For more information about IPMI, see: https://www.intel.com/content/www/us/en/products/docs/servers/ipmi/ipmi-home.html?wapkw=ipmi.

For information about deprovisioning BMC, see Deprovision Board Management Control from the CLI.
