Lenovo XClarity Administrator Supported Flex System I/O Devices
Use the following information to determine which Flex System I/O devices are supported by Lenovo XClarity Administrator.
Ethernet Switches
Notes:
- Lenovo XClarity Administrator does not support the direct deployment of configuration patterns to switches. However, the Lenovo XClarity Administrator does support the deployment of server patterns that can be used to modify internal port settings on the following Lenovo Ethernet switches:
- Flex System SI4091 10Gb System Interconnect Module
- Flex System Fabric EN4093R 10Gb Scalable Switch
- Flex System CN4093 10Gb Converged Scalable Switch
- Flex System Fabric SI4093 System Interconnect Module
- If a switch is operating in either stacked mode or protected mode, you cannot update the firmware for the switch through Lenovo XClarity Administrator
