Managing firmware baselines

Firmware baselines have one or more Firmware Catalogs and attach to various elements.

1. Server types - MetalSoft applies it every time someone registers a server with the specific server type.
2. OS templates - MetalSoft applies it every time someone deploys a server with the specific OS template, if not already deployed.
3. Site - MetalSoft applies it every time someone deploys a server in the specific site.
