On the Configuration > Firmware/Driver Compliance screen, the compliance status of the baselines is indicated. A Donut chart provides a summary of baselines' compliance to their respective catalogs. When more than one device is associated with a baseline, the status of the least compliant device to the baseline is indicated as the compliance level of that baseline. For example, the compliance level of a baseline with only one device with compliance as 'critical, is indicated as 'critical' Image indicating that the device firmware is not in compliance (Critical) with the firmware baseline, and must be upgraded. even if most of the devices are compliant.

You can view the firmware and driver compliance of individual devices associated with a baseline and choose to either upgrade or downgrade the firmware and/or driver version on that device. To view the baseline compliance report:

  • Select the check box corresponding to the baseline and click View Report in the right pane. On the Compliance Report screen, the list of devices associated with the baseline and their compliance level is displayed. By default, the devices in Critical and Warning statuses are displayed.
