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.
