Applying Profile

Server cloning is possible only when server profiles are available as stored profiles in the nonvolatile media on the CMC.

To initiate a server cloning operation, you can apply a stored profile to one or more servers.

NOTE: If a server does not support Lifecycle Controller or the chassis is powered off, you cannot apply a profile to

the server.

To apply a profile to one or more server(s):

1. Go to the Server Profiles page. In the Save and Apply Profiles section, select the server or servers for which you

want to apply the selected profile.

The Select Profile drop-down menu gets enabled.

2. From the Select Profile drop-down menu, select the profile that you want to apply.

The Apply Profile option gets enabled.

3. Click Apply Profile.

A warning message is displayed that applying a new server profile overwrites the current settings and also reboots

the selected servers. You are prompted to confirm if you want to continue the operation.

NOTE: To perform server cloning operations on servers, the CSIOR option must be enabled for the servers. If

CSIOR option is disabled, a warning message is displayed that CSIOR is not enabled for the servers. To

complete the blade cloning operation, make sure to enable CSIOR option on the servers .

4. Click OK to apply the profile to the selected server.

The selected profile is applied to the server(s) and the server(s) may be rebooted immediately, if necessary. For
