The HPE Superdome Flex Server is the mission critical, in memory computing solution that delivers an unprecedented
combination of scale, modularity, flexibility, and reliability.
This course provides an overview of system components
and practical experience. You will learn to prepare and install
supported operating systems, monitor system performance
with HPE Foundation Software (HFS) and HPE OneView,
use rack management controller (RMC) commands to
power on and boot the server, configure autopower,
retrieve hardware configuration, and monitor log files.
