What is causing the problem?

Refer to Exhibit:

An OpenManage Enterprise environment contains both Dell EMC 13G and 14G PowerEdge servers and an online catalog that is configured as shown.

A Device Manager is tasked with creating a firmware baseline using Catalog1 for all the server infrastructure. During the task, they find that they are only able to select the 14G PowerEdge servers in

the environment.

What is causing the problem?
A . Only Administrators are permitted to create firmware baselines
B . The catalog does not contain any firmware applicable to 13G servers
C . Only the 14G servers are in the scope of their account
D . Each firmware baseline can only contain servers from the same generation

Answer: B

Explanation:

Understanding the Catalog Configuration: The online catalog, as shown in the exhibit, is configured to source the latest component versions from Dell.com.

This catalog is named ‘Catalog1’.

Identifying the Issue: The Device Manager is unable to select 13G PowerEdge servers when creating a firmware baseline using Catalog1. This indicates that the catalog lacks firmware for 13G servers.

Catalog Contents: Since Catalog1 is set to pull the latest component versions, it is likely that it only includes firmware for the most recent, supported server generations, which in this case appears to be the 14G PowerEdge servers.

Firmware Baseline Creation: Firmware baselines are created to standardize the firmware versions across the server infrastructure. If certain server generations are not included in the catalog, they cannot be selected for the baseline.

Reference to Dell OpenManage Documentation: Dell OpenManage documentation would typically explain how catalogs are associated with server generations and their firmware. It would state that if a catalog does not contain firmware for a particular generation, servers from that generation cannot be included in the baseline.

The exhibit provided context for the issue at hand, showing that Catalog1 is likely tailored for 14G servers, hence the absence of 13G server firmware. This aligns with standard practices for managing server firmware where catalogs are generation-specific to ensure compatibility and supportability.
