The AX nodes are protected from unintended changes that occur in a data center for various reasons by Infrastructure lock built into the tool. With this lock turned ON, the feature prevents the infrastructure from any configuration changes or updates to be done to the BIOS, iDRAC, firmware, and drivers. The tool facilitates these setting changes across all the nodes in the cluster. It also allows administrators to disable the infrastructure lock for HCI and failover clusters for the intended configuration changes, and update the cluster, and enable it back automatically after the operation is finished.
