Users Guide

Attributes are grouped together functionally for display. Vendor-specific attributes are grouped under Other
Attributes. Each individual attribute is displayed with a check box preceding its name. The check box indicates
whether or not the attribute will be included when the deployment template is deployed to a target device. Because
of attribute dependencies, if you change the setting for whether or not a particular attribute gets deployed, it could
cause unexpected results on the target device, or cause deployment to fail. Each group also has a check box to the
left of its name. The icon in group check boxes has one of three values:
i. Checked — Indicates that all of the attributes in the group are selected for deployment.
ii. Hyphen — Indicates some (but not all) of the attributes are selected for deployment.
iii. Clear — Indicates that none of the attributes in the group are selected for deployment
NOTE:
○ Using this option requires care and a good knowledge of attributes and attribute dependencies as various
attributes depend on the value in another attribute to determine their behavior.
○ You can click on the group icons to toggle the deployment setting for all the attributes in the group.
○ The attributes with secure information, such as passwords, are hidden and would appear as 'empty' when
initially loaded and the changes to these secure attribute values are masked.
○ A deployment template’s associated Identity pool cannot be changed if a profile is already associated to it.
3. Click Next.
In the Summary section, the attributes you edited by using the Guided and Advanced mode are displayed.
4. This section is read-only. Read through the settings and click Finish.
The updated template attributes are saved to the deployment template.
Edit a chassis deployment template
Editing chassis deployment templates is possible with OpenManage Enterprise.

templates.
To edit a chassis deployment template:

Edit IOA deployment template
The attributes in the IOA deployment template are uneditable. Only the name and description of an IOA deployment template
can be edited.
NOTE:
IOA template attributes must not be edited outside of the appliance, as the template will be considered as a corrupt file
during deployment.
