30 Chassis, Sled, and IOA Template Cloning using Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise version 3.2 | Document ID
M1000e Template Cloning – Usecase 4
This Use case refers to the following Configuration:
Reference Setup
Newly procured Chassis
An M1000e chassis populated with two M640
Sleds in Slot1 and Slot2 and two M I/O
aggregators in Fabric A1 and Fabric A2. Both
M640 sleds have the same hardware
configuration and VLAN configuration.
One or many chassis with hardware configuration
that matches exactly as Reference setup,
however, have an additional two M640 Sleds in
Slot 3 and Slot 4 requiring a separate VLAN
association.
To accomplish this use case:
Cloning of device configuration is performed on individual target devices.
For example: The Reference chassis template is captured and deployed on one or more new chassis. The Reference sled
template is captured and deployed on one or more new sleds along with VLAN association. For the additional sleds in the
new chassis, a copy of the sled template is taken to associate VLAN and deploy the template.
