3.2.4 Deploy the template on Chassis and Server
Deploying templates is the process of sending and applying configuration settings to remote devices. A template
may contain configuration settings for one or more specific functional areas, or a full device configuration. To
deploy the template, you must first create the template. The template is crucial to the success of the deploy task.
Ensure that the device used to create the template from, is configured exactly how you wish to deploy the same.
A template that was created from a target may contain destructive attributes (especially if it contains RAID
configuration settings). Deploying destructive attributes may cause data loss, connectivity issues, failure to boot
and other problems. It is important to review and understand each destructive attribute before deploying it to
target devices. If there is a need for some configuration settings to be changed from what has been captured
when template was created, make sure to edit the template and exclude the same. Update the respective
attributes and remember to save the changes.
