Applying Prole
Server cloning is possible only when server proles are available as stored proles in the nonvolatile media on the CMC or stored on
the remote share. To initiate a server conguration operation, you can apply a stored prole to one or more servers.
NOTE: If a server does not support Lifecycle Controller or the chassis is powered o, you cannot apply a prole to the
server.

1. Go to the Server Proles page. In the Save and Apply Proles section, select the server or servers for which you want to
apply the selected prole.

servers. If CSIOR option is disabled, a warning message is displayed that CSIOR is not enabled for the servers. To
complete the server conguration replication operation, make sure to enable CSIOR option on the servers .
