Server Protection

You can protect a server from potentially dangerous actions performed from the platform. This article describes how to activate this protection and the restrictions that will be applied to the server.

Server Management Restrictions

When server protection is enabled, the following actions become impossible to:

• delete the server;
• power off or reboot the server;
• delete or edit server connections;
• run diagnostics or put the server into maintenance mode;
• manage the server's BMC;
• modify the server's basic and network settings;
• install an operating system.

With server protection enabled, you will still be able to:

• add or remove components manually (but not via RedFish).
• add custom parameters.
