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.
