Primary lookup key option The Deployment Server uses the primary lookup key to determine if a server is already in the database. HP recommends setting the primary lookup key as the server serial number. Setting the primary lookup key as the server serial number has two benefits: • It enables servers to be imported by their serial number, rather than keys that are more difficult to determine, such as the MAC address. • It prevents duplicate database entries from occurring when servers have two or more NICs. To manually set the primary lookup key to serial number: 1. In the Deployment Server Console, select Tools>Program Options. 2. From the Program Options window, click the Global tab. 3. From the Primary lookup key dropdown list, select Serial Number. 4. Click OK. Appendix B Manually modifying configuration settings 30
