Computer Name

Enter a unique name for the UCS blade.

Auto-generate Computer Name

(Applies to Windows only) Select this option to allow the Windows installer to auto-generate the computer name for the blade. If you select this option, the Computer Name field is ignored.

OM server name

IP Configuration—The IP Configuration settings also appear in the system package. The IP Configuration settings you enter in a Provision Job override the settings in the system package.

Obtain IP Address Automatically

IP Address

Specifies the IP address for the device.

Subnet mask

Specifies the subnet mask for the IP address.

The Windows 2003 installer does not support three zeroes in any of the octets in the subnet mask. For example, if the subnet mask is 255.255.255.0, entering 255.255.255.000 for Subnet mask does not work. You must enter 255.255.255.0.

The address of the IP router that is used to forward traffic to destinations outside of the local network.

License key

The license for the operating system that you are provisioning on the blade.
