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.
To apply a prole to one or more servers:
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.
The Select Prole drop-down menu gets enabled.
NOTE: The Select Prole drop-down menu displays all available proles, sorted by type, including those that are on the
remote share and SD card.
2 From the Select Prole drop-down menu, select the prole that you want to apply.
The Apply Prole option gets enabled.
3 Click Apply Prole.
A warning message is displayed that applying a new server prole overwrites the current settings and also reboots the selected
servers. You are prompted to conrm if you want to continue the operation.
NOTE: To perform server conguration replication operations on servers, the CSIOR option must be enabled for the
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 .
4 Click OK to apply the prole to the selected server.
The selected prole is applied to the server(s) and the server(s) may be rebooted immediately, if necessary. For more information, see
