Adding or Saving Profile
Before copying the properties of a server, first capture the properties to a stored profile. Create a stored
profile and provide a name and optional description for each profile. You can save a maximum of 16
stored profiles on the CMC nonvolatile extended storage media.
NOTE: If a remote share is available, you can store a maximum of 100 profiles using the CMC
extended storage and remote share. For more information see
Configuring Network Share Using
CMC Web Interface.
Removing or disabling the nonvolatile extended storage media prevents access to stored profile and
disables the Server Configuration feature.
