Figure 9 is a graphical representation of how many of the configuration pieces are considered parallel
settings. Most of the configuration will depend heavily on configurations being completed in more than
just one place.

Overview of parallel configuration
Figure 7.
In many of the business environments where this configuration will be installed there will be different
administrators for the different areas of the infrastructure. In other words there may be a LAN
infrastructure administrator, a storage or SAN administrator, and potentially a server administrator.
These different team members will have to work together for a successful deployment of all the
involved parts. In an M1000e bladeserver environment it may be the server admin that deploys the
blade servers, operatings systems, network adapter drivers, and very possibly configures the blade IOM
networking switches. If different admins are involved as described these tasks can be done in parallel
to enable a quicker deployment.

It is important to understand certain checks or validations along the way may rely on configurations
