Onboard Edge Node: Lenovo* ThinkEdge Servers

Edge Onboarding securely configures the Lenovo* ThinkSystem SE350 Edge Server, Lenovo ThinkEdge SE360 V2 Edge Server, and Lenovo ThinkEdge SE450 Edge Server into Edge Orchestrator.

Note

• You can use a USB stick as storage for HTTPs boot or to load the certificates into the UEFI or BIOS.

• In most cases, you can do the same operations described in the following instructions, with Lenovo* XClarity Provisioning Manager.

You can then configure, provision, lifecycle manage, and add the edge nodes or hosts in the UI to clusters for workload deployment. The main sections are as follows:

• Prerequisites

• Set Up LOC-A (Not Required for HTTPS- or USB-Assisted Boot)

• Onboard Edge Node Using HTTPs-Assisted Boot

• Onboard Edge Node Using USB-Assisted Boot

• Onboard Edge Node Using LOC-A Assisted Boot

Note

You can only use one of the above options (HTTPs, USB, or LOC-A) to onboard Lenovo ThinkEdge servers during the edge node configuration cycle:
