From a1bb3598377c4609823da85b35de9b573592c792 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Julia Kreger Date: Mon, 14 Sep 2020 11:58:02 -0700 Subject: Clarify HPE Edgeline support Per discussions with stendulker, the Edgeline servers are not recognized by proliantutils which means they are not handled properly and the wrong devices can be set/selected for setting the next boot device. This is largely because proliantutils thinks Edgeline hardware is 8th generation instead of 10th generation hardware. Since the docs explicitly state Proliant line of rackmount servers, it seems logical to clarify the Edgeline servers as it is a different line of servers with a different market focus.
