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 see Conguring Network Share Using CMC Web Interface.

Removing or disabling the nonvolatile extended storage media prevents access to stored prole and disables the Server

Conguration feature.

To add or save a prole:

1. Go to the Server Proles page. In the Server Proles section, select the server from whose settings you want to generate the

prole, and then click Save Prole.

The Save Prole section is displayed.

2. Select Extended Storage or Network Share as the location to save the prole.

NOTE: The Network Share option is enabled and the details are displayed in the Stored Proles section only if the

network share is mounted and is accessible. If the Network Share is not connected, congure the Network Share for

the chassis. To congure the Network Share, click Edit in the Stored Proles section. For more information see

Conguring Network Share Using CMC Web Interface.

3. In the Prole Name and Description elds, enter the prole name and description (optional), and click Save Prole.

NOTE: When saving a Server Prole, the standard ASCII extended character set is supported. However, the

following special characters are not supported:

), “, ., *, >, <, \, /, :, |, #, ?, and ,

CMC communicates with the Lifecycle Controller to get the available server prole settings and store them as a named prole.

A progress indicator indicates that the Save operation is in progress. After the action is complete, a message, "Operation

Successful" is displayed.

NOTE: The process to gather the settings runs in the background. Hence, it may take some time before the new

prole is displayed. If the new prole is not displayed, check the prole log for errors.
