Lenovo OneCli Orchestrator

Summary​

Lenovo OneCLI is a comprehensive management utility that enables centralized discovery, inventory, and lifecycle management of firmware and driver updates for supported Lenovo servers and systems. It provides capabilities for scanning systems, downloading updates, and deploying firmware and driver patches across ThinkEdge, ThinkSystem, ThinkServer, and Wentian platforms.

This is an automate implementation of Invoke-LenovoOneCLI. It is designed to manage firmware and driver updates on supported Lenovo systems(specially servers) using Lenovo OneCLI.

The script handles the deployment of Lenovo OneCLI on the target machine and enables the execution of OneCLI commands to perform system updates and maintenance tasks.
