{column:width=75%}h3.Creating a Firmware Image
A firmware image is a copy of a particular version of system firmware with associated metadata, so you can then provision the firmware in an automated way through the use of [firmware profiles|Creating a Firmware Profile]. The firmware metadata helps to determine compatibility between a firmware image and a target system. The metadata that you provide when you import a firmware image includes the firmware type, what system or systems the firmware is for, the version of the firmware, and the dependee firmware (which other firmware does the firmware depend on).
To create a firmware image, the firmware files to be copied must be accessible from the satellite server.
