Applying Profile
Server cloning is possible only when server profiles are available as stored profiles in the nonvolatile
media on the CMC or stored on the remote share. To initiate a server configuration operation, you can
apply a stored profile to one or more servers.
NOTE: If a server does not support Lifecycle Controller or the chassis is powered off, you cannot
apply a profile to the server.
To apply a profile to one or more servers:
1. Go to the Server Profiles page. In the Save and Apply Profiles section, select the server or servers for
which you want to apply the selected profile.
The Select Profile drop-down menu gets enabled.
NOTE: The Select Profile drop-down menu displays all available profiles, sorted by type,
including those that are on the remote share and SD card.

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 server configuration replication
operation, make sure to enable CSIOR option on the servers .
