About this task
For convenience, SATADOM firmware version S130710K is included on the VxFlex

The AMS can "take ownership" of all the nodes on an existing VxFlex Ready Node
system that is currently running VxFlex OS without AMS management. When the
process is complete, all the servers in the system are managed with the AMS.
The take-ownership process is performed from the VxFlex OS GUI together with an
AMS CLI command.
Before starting the take-ownership process, ensure that the non-AMS-managed
VxFlex Ready Node system is compatible.
