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.

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.

remote share and SD card.
