Quick Deploy of Profiles
The Quick Deploy feature enables you to assign a stored profile to a server slot. Any server supporting
server cloning inserted into that slot is configured using the assigned profile. You can perform the Quick
Deploy action only if the Action When Server is Inserted option in the Deploy iDRAC page is set to
Server Profile option or Quick Deploy and Server Profile option. Selecting one of these options allows to
apply the server profile assigned when a new server is inserted in the chassis. To go to the Deploy iDRAC
page, select Server Overview → Setup → iDRAC. Profiles that can be deployed are stored in the SD card
or remote share.
NOTE:
To set up the profiles for quick deploy, you must have Chassis Administrator privileges.
Assigning Server Profiles to Slots
The Server Profiles page enables you to assign server profiles to slots. To assign a profile to the chassis
slots:
1. In the Server Profiles page, click Profiles for QuickDeploy section.
The current profile assignments are displayed for the slots in the select boxes contained in the Assign
Profile column.
NOTE: You can perform the Quick Deploy action only if the Action When Server is Inserted
option in the Deploy iDRAC page is set to Server Profile or Quick Deploy and Server Profile.
Selecting one of these options allows to apply the server profile assigned when a new server is
inserted in the chassis.
2. From the drop-down menu, select the profile to assign to the required slot. You can select a profile
to apply to multiple slots.
3. Click Assign Profile.
The profile is assigned to the selected slots
NOTE:
• A slot that does not have any profile assigned to it is indicated by the term “No Profile Selected”
that appears in the select box.
• To remove a profile assignment from one or more slots, select the slots and click Remove
Assignment A message is displayed warning you that removing a profile from the slot or slots
removes the configuration settings in the profile from any server (s) inserted in the slot (s) when
Quick Deploy Profiles feature is enabled. Click OK to remove the profile assignments.
• To remove all profile assignments from a slot, in the drop-down menu, select No Profile
Selected.

and results of the application are retained in the Profile Log.
