After you deploy UCP Advisor, you can enable the out-of-band (OOB) command device option. This option allows you to onboard storage devices without a Fibre Channel-based command device mapped to UCP Advisor VM or the UCP Advisor Gateway VM.

Note: Onboarding a storage device using the OOB command device will take a long time. Use this option to perform only basic configurations, such as creating a storage pool, creating a hostgroup, and creating a volume.

Using SSH, log on to the UCP Advisor VM as ucpadmin.

Edit the infrastructure-operator-config file. Enter:

kubectl edit configmap infrastructure-operator-config -n ucp

Locate the outOfBand parameter under cpuma.properties.
Update the outOfBand parameter value to true.
For example:
```
outOfBand=true
```
Save the infrastructure-operator-config file.
Exit the edit mode. Press the Esc key.
Save the changes. Enter:
```
:wq
```
