In IMM Transition Tool, 3.1.1 and above, a validation is performed by the tool to check if the firmware version of the added device is compliant with the minimum version supported by the transition tool. If found non-compliant, a warning message gets displayed.
You can opt-out of the validation check by turning on the Bypass Validation toggle button.
This option enables you to add a device which has an unsupported firmware version.
The added devices can be deleted or edited. The values that can be edited for the Intersight device are API Key and Secret Key and for a UCS device are Username and Password.
