Completion Status, Log View, and Troubleshooting
To check the completion status of an applied server prole:
1. In the Server Proles page, note down the Job ID (JID) of the submitted job from the Recent Prole Log section.
2. In the system tree, go to Server Overview and click Troubleshooting → Lifecycle Controller Jobs. Look up the same JID in the
Jobs table.
3. Click View Log link to view the results of Lclogview from the iDRAC Lifecycle Controller for the specic server.
The results displayed for the completion or failure are similar to the information displayed in the iDRAC Lifecycle Controller log
for the specic server.
Quick Deploy of Proles
The Quick Deploy feature enables you to assign a stored prole to a server slot. Any server supporting server cloning inserted into
that slot is congured using the assigned prole. 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 Prole option or Quick Deploy and Server Prole option. Selecting one
of these options allows to apply the server prole assigned when a new server is inserted in the chassis. To go to the Deploy iDRAC
page, select Server Overview → Setup → iDRAC. Proles that can be deployed are stored in the SD card or remote share. To set
up the proles for quick deploy, you must have Chassis Administrator privileges.
NOTE:
Assigning Server Proles to Slots
The Server Proles page enables you to assign server proles to slots. To assign a prole to the chassis slots:
1. In the Server Proles page, click Proles for QuickDeploy section.
The current prole assignments are displayed for the slots in the select boxes contained in the Assign Prole 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 Prole or Quick Deploy and Server Prole. Selecting one of these options allows to
apply the server prole assigned when a new server is inserted in the chassis.
2. From the drop-down menu, select the prole to assign to the required slot. You can select a prole to apply to multiple slots.
