# Editing a node

##

Nodes are changed using the Edit option on the Nodes screen. Make sure SUM has completed all functions, for example, node inventory or deployment, before you edit a node. Options you can edit vary based on the node. For information on specific node options, see Node-specific additional details.

NOTE:

SUM uses the same function to edit all node types.

Procedure

1. From the Nodes screen, highlight the node, and then select Actions > Edit.
2. The following are some of the fields you can edit:
   1. Description
   2. Type
   3. Selected Baseline and Additional Package.
      NOTE:

      If a node is part of a group, the group baseline and additional package settings override the node. Remove the node from the group to change the baseline or additional package.

   4. Credentials
      NOTE:

      If the iLO of the server is configured in one of the High Security modes or if `Require Host Authentication` is enabled, enter the iLO Administrator credentials in the provided section.

3. Click OK to accept the changes and return to the Nodes screen.
