Click Disconnect to disconnect a previously connected remote file share.
Click Deploy to deploy the media device.
NOTE: Save all working files before selecting the Deploy option to deploy the media device,
because this action causes the server to be restarted.
This action involves the following:
• The remote file share is connected.
• The file is selected as the first boot device for the servers.
• The server is restarted.
• Power is applied to the server if the server is turned off.
Configuring Profile Settings Using Server Configuration
Replication
The server configurations replicating feature allows you to apply all profile settings from a specified server
to one or more servers. Profile settings that can be replicated are those profile settings which can be
modified and are intended to be replicated across servers. The following three profile groups for servers
are displayed and can be replicated:
• BIOS — This group includes only the BIOS settings of a server. These profiles are generated from CMC
versions earlier than 4.3.
• BIOS and Boot — This group includes the BIOS and the Boot settings of a server. These profiles are
generated from:
– CMC version 4.3
– CMC version 4.45 with 11th generation servers
– CMC version 4.45 and 12th generation servers with Lifecycle Controller 2 version earlier than 1.1
• All Settings — This version includes all the settings of the server and components on that server. These
profiles are generated from:
– CMC version 4.45 and 12th generation servers with iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 or
greater.
– CMC version 5.0 and 13th generation servers with iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller 2.00.00.00 or
later
The server configurations replication feature supports iDRAC 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 configurations replication feature:
• iDRAC must have the minimum version that is required. iDRAC servers require a minimum version of
3.2 and 1.00.00.
• Server must be powered on.
Server versions and profile compatibilities:
• iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 and later can accept any profile version.
• iDRAC version 3.2 & 1.0 only accept BIOS or BIOS and Boot profiles.
