29 Chassis, Sled, and IOA Template Cloning using Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise version 3.2 | Document ID
When deployment task is performed using Preview mode, Pre-Checks will be displayed as:
Success -> Success indicates, the configuration can be successfully deployed on the IOA without any failure
Warning -> Warning indicates, there is a low severity dependency mismatch which may need attention. However,
you can continue the deployment with “Continue on warning” option.
Failure -> Failure indicates, the configuration cannot be applied on the target IOA.
6. Select the option Run Now if you wish to run the job immediately or deployment can be scheduled.
3.2 USE CASE 4:
This use case describes a complex deployment technique. Here, we discuss a way to successfully clone and
deploy a complete Reference setup of an M1000e chassis configuration to a newly procured chassis having
additional sleds as compared to the Reference setup, thereby requiring a separate VLAN association.
Note: This whitepaper is written with an assumption that the current OME appliance is not used for the
Reference Setup configuration.
3.2.1 Chassis Configuration:
You have an M1000e Chassis containing two Sleds and two IOAs fully configured (represented as the Reference
Setup) by OpenManage Enterprise based on your data center’s needs. The requirement is to replicate the
complete configuration to one or more newly acquired M1000e chassis having the same exact hardware
configuration.
Note: Ensure that the newly procured chassis has sleds placed in exactly the same slots as the reference
chassis. The additional sleds can be placed in the other slots as desired. For example, sleds in the new chassis
should be placed in Slots 1 and 2 if the Reference setup has sleds in those slots.
