Conguring Prole Settings Using Server

Conguration Replication

The server congurations replicating feature allows you to apply all prole settings from a specied server to one or more servers. Prole

settings that can be replicated are those prole settings which can be modied and are intended to be replicated across servers. The

following three prole groups for servers are displayed and can be replicated:

• BIOS — This group includes only the BIOS settings of a server. These proles are generated from CMC versions earlier than 4.3.

• BIOS and Boot — This group includes the BIOS and the Boot settings of a server. These proles are generated from:

– CMC version 4.3

– CMC version 4.45 with 11th generation servers

– CMC version 4.45 and 12th generation servers with Lifecycle Controller 2 version earlier than 1.1

• All Settings — This version includes all the settings of the server and components on that server. These proles are generated from:

– CMC version 4.45 and 12th generation servers with iDRAC and Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 or greater.

– CMC version 5.0 and 13th generation servers with iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller 2.00.00.00 or later

The server congurations replication feature supports iDRAC and later servers. Earlier generation RAC servers are listed but are grayed out

on the main page, and are not enabled to use this feature.

To use the server congurations replication feature:

• iDRAC must have the minimum version that is required. iDRAC servers require a minimum version of 3.2 and 1.00.00.

• Server must be powered on.

Server versions and prole compatibilities:

• iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 and later can accept any prole version.

• iDRAC version 3.2 & 1.0 only accept BIOS or BIOS and Boot proles.

• Saving a prole from a server iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 and later results in a All Settings prole. Saving a prole from

a server with iDRAC version 3.2 and iDRAC with Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.0 will result in a BIOS and Boot prole.

You can:

• View prole settings on a server or from a saved prole.

• Save a prole from a server.

• Apply a prole to other servers.

• Import stored proles from a management station or remote le share.

• Edit the prole name and description.

• Export stored proles to a management station or remote le share.

• Delete stored proles.

• Deploy selected proles to the target devices using Quick Deploy option.

• Display the log activity for recent server prole tasks.
