Conguring Prole Settings Using Server
Conguration Replication
The server congurations replicating feature allows you to apply all prole settings from a specied server to one or more servers. Prole
settings that can be replicated are those prole settings which can be modied and are intended to be replicated across servers. The
following three prole groups for servers are displayed and can be replicated:
• BIOS — This group includes only the BIOS settings of a server. These proles are generated from CMC for PowerEdge VRTX version
1.00 and later.
• BIOS and Boot — This group includes the BIOS and the Boot settings of a server. These proles are generated from CMC for
PowerEdge VRTX version 1.00 and later.
• All Settings — This version includes all the settings of the server and components on that server. These proles are generated from
– CMC for PowerEdge VRTX version 1.00 and later
– 12th generation servers with iDRAC7 1.00.00 or later and Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 or later
– 13th generation servers with iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller 2.00.00.00 or later
The server congurations replication feature supports iDRAC7 and later servers. Earlier generation RAC servers are listed but are grayed
out on the main page, and are not enabled to use this feature.
To use the server congurations replication feature:
• iDRAC must have the minimum version that is required.
• Server must be powered on.
You can:
• View prole settings on a server or from a saved prole.
• Save a prole from a server.
• Apply a prole to other servers.
• Import stored proles from a management station or remote le share.
• Edit the prole name and description.
• Export stored proles to a management station or remote le share.
• Delete stored proles.
• Deploy selected proles to the target devices using Quick Deploy option.
• Display the log activity for recent server prole tasks.
Accessing Server Proles Page
You can add, manage, and apply server proles to one or more servers using the Server Proles page.
To access the Server Proles page using the CMC web interface, in the left pane, go to Chassis Overview > Server Overview. Click
Setup > Proles. The Server Proles page is displayed.
Adding or Saving Prole
Before copying the properties of a server, rst capture the properties to a stored prole. Create a stored prole and provide a name and
optional description for each prole. You can save a maximum of 16 Stored Proles on the CMC nonvolatile extended storage media.
NOTE
: If a remote share is available, you can store a maximum of 100 proles using the CMC extended storage and remote share.
For more information about the remote share, see Conguring Network Share Using CMC Web Interface.
