Applying Prole
Server conguration replication is possible only when server proles are available as stored proles in the nonvolatile media on the
CMC or stored on the remote share. To initiate a server conguration replication operation, you can apply a stored prole to one or
more servers.
NOTE: If a server does not support Dell Lifecycle Controller or the chassis is turned o, you cannot apply a prole to the
server.
To apply a prole to one or more server(s):
1. Go to the Server Proles page. In the Save and Apply Proles section, select the server or servers for which you want to
apply the selected prole.
The Select Prole drop-down menu is enabled.
NOTE: The Select Prole drop-down menu displays all available proles and sorted by type, including those that are
on the remote share and SD card.
2. From the Select Prole drop-down menu, select the prole that you want to apply.
The Apply Prole option is enabled.
3. Click Apply Prole.
A message is displayed that applying a new server prole overwrites the current settings and also restarts the selected servers.
You are prompted to conrm 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 prole to the selected server.
The selected prole is applied to the server(s) and the server(s) may be restarted immediately, if necessary. For more
information, see the CMC Online Help.
