Quick Deploy of Profiles

The Quick Deploy feature enables you to assign a stored profile to a server slot. Any server supporting

server configuration replication that is inserted into a slot is configured using the profile assigned to that

slot. You can perform the Quick Deploy action only if the Action When Server is Inserted option in the

Deploy iDRAC page is set to Server Profile or Quick Deploy and Server Profile. Selecting this option

allows to apply the server profile assigned when a new server is inserted in the chassis. To go to the

Deploy iDRAC page, select Server Overview → Setup → iDRAC . Profiles that can be deployed are

contained in the SD card.

NOTE: To set up the profiles for quick deploy, you must have Chassis Administrator privileges.

The Server Profiles page enables you to assign server profiles to slots. To assign a profile to the chassis

slots:

1. In the Server Profiles page, click Profiles for QuickDeploy section.

The current profile assignments are displayed for the slots in the select boxes contained in the Assign

Profile column.
