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 Enable Server Profile Deployment option is enabled in the Deploy iDRAC page. 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.
Assigning Server Profiles to Slots
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, go to the Profiles for Quick Deploy section.
The current profile assignments are displayed for the slots in the select boxes contained in the Server Profile
column.
2. From the drop-down menu, select the profile to assign to the required slot. You can select profiles to apply to
multiple slots. .
3. Click Assign.
The profiles gets applied to the selected slots.
NOTE: A slot that does not have any profile assigned to it is indicated by the term “No Profile Selected” that
appears in the select box.
NOTE: To remove all profile assignments from a slot, in the drop-down menu, select No Profile Selected.
NOTE: When a profile is deployed to a server using the Quick Deploy Profile feature, the progress and results of
the application are retained in the Profile Log.
Launching iDRAC using Single Sign-On
CMC provides limited management of individual chassis components, such as servers. For complete management of
these individual components, CMC provides a launch point for the server’s management controller (iDRAC) web-based
interface.
A user may be able to launch iDRAC web interface without having to login a second time, as this feature utilizes single
sign-on. Single sign-on policies are:
• A CMC user who has server administrative privilege, is automatically logged into iDRAC using single sign-on. Once
on the iDRAC site, this user is automatically granted Administrator privileges. This is true even if the same user does
not have an account on iDRAC, or if the account does not have the Administrator’s privileges.
• A CMC user who does NOT have the server administrative privilege, but has the same account on iDRAC is
automatically logged into iDRAC using single sign-on. Once on the iDRAC site, this user is granted the privileges that
were created for the iDRAC account.
• A CMC user who does not have the server administrative privilege, or the same account on the iDRAC, does NOT
automatically logged into iDRAC using single sign-on. This user is directed to the iDRAC login page when the Launch
iDRAC GUI is clicked.
NOTE: The term "the same account" in this context means that the user has the same login name with a
matching password for CMC and for iDRAC. The user who has the same login name without a matching
password, is considered to have the same account.
