FDO

The FIDO Device Onboard (FDO) protocol lets you create and deploy a device profile to remote bare-metal Edge devices, automating the configuration of the physical device to your specifications without any human interaction. Portainer provides the ability to do this from within the Portainer UI.

Provision a FDO device

To add a new FDO device to Portainer you will first need to have enabled and configured FDO. Once this is done, click Add Device and ensure the Provision bare-metal using Intel FDO option is selected, then click Confirm.

When provisioning an FDO device you will first need to import a Manufacturer Ownership Voucher. Click the Upload button and browse to the voucher on your system to upload.

Once the voucher is uploaded you will be able to fill in the device details as required.
