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.
