Device provisioning

In Niagara 4.6 and later, provisioning steps are available to simplify and enhance the provisioning workflow required to establish a functioning Edge 10 installation. These provisioning steps are all part of a complete workflow, and should be performed in the sequence in which they are described below.

In addition, the provisioning batch job management has been improved to enable provisioning jobs to concurrently run across multiple stations. By default, the number of parallel executions is derived based on the supervisor's hardware platform. This concurrency applies to any provisioning job, not just those containing these new device provisioning steps.

See the Niagara Provisioning Guide for details on existing Niagara provisioning capabilities, including the creation of a provisioning environment on a Supervisor, creating provisioning jobs to run a sequence of steps, monitoring the execution of these jobs on a set of devices, and reviewing job results.
