Configuring BMC Server Automation for unattended server installations
BMC Cloud Lifecycle Management uses BMC Server Automation for provisioning. Before you can use BMC Server Automation to perform unattended installations of operating systems on servers, you must set up all the functional components of the BMC Server Automation provisioning system. BMC Server Automation uses Pre-boot Execution Environment (PXE) for provisioning Windows, Linux, ESX, and ESXi servers. The following topics describe how to set up the PXE environment:
Generally, you need to perform these tasks only once unless you are changing the configuration of your provisioning system.
