Users Guide

To perform a remote le share operation (connect, disconnect, or deploy), you must have Chassis Conguration Administrator or Server
Administrator privileges.
To congure the remote le share using CMC Web interface:
1 In the system tree, go to Server Overview, and then click Setup > Remote File Sharing.
The Deploy Remote File Share page is displayed.
NOTE: If any of the servers present in the slots are 12th generation or later, and do not have a proper license, then a
message is displayed indicating that a required license is missing or expired. You need to obtain an appropriate license and
try again, or contact your service provider for additional details .
2 Specify the required settings. For more information, see the CMC Online Help.
3 Click Connect to connect to a remote le share. To connect a remote le share, you must provide the path, user name, and password.
A successful operation allows access to the media.
Click Disconnect to disconnect a previously connected remote le share.
Click Deploy to deploy the media device.
NOTE: Save all working les before selecting the Deploy option to deploy the media device, because this action causes the
server to be restarted.
This action involves the following:
• The remote le share is connected.
• The le is selected as the rst boot device for the servers.
• The server is restarted.
• Power is applied to the server if the server is turned o.
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.
