NOTE: The CMC web interface captures the normal server configuration profile (snapshot of the server), which can be
used for replication on a target system. However, some configurations such as RAID and identity attributes are not
propagated to the new server. For more information on alternate export modes for RAID configurations and identity
attributes, see the white paper, Server Cloning with Server Configuration Profiles , at DellTechCenter.com.
