Quick Deploy of Proles
The Quick Deploy feature enables you to assign a stored prole to a server slot. Any server supporting server conguration
replication that is inserted into a slot is congured using the prole assigned to that slot. You can perform the Quick Deploy action
only if the Action When Server is Inserted option on the Deploy iDRAC page is set to Server Prole option or Quick Deploy and
Server Prole option. Selecting this option allows to apply the server prole assigned when a new server is inserted in the chassis.
To go to the Deploy iDRAC page, select Server Overview → Setup → iDRAC. Proles that can be deployed are stored in the SD
card or remote share. To set up the proles for quick deploy, you must have Chassis Administrator privileges.
NOTE:
