Edit network properties of a deployment template
On the Configuration > Templates page, you can edit the network configuration for the deployment templates that contains
applicable NIC attributes.
After selecting a deployment template, click Edit Network to activate the Edit Network wizard and do the following:
NOTE: VLAN settings on in-scope 'proxied' MX7000 sleds is allowed for a device manager, even if the MX7000 chassis is
out of scope.
1. Click IO Pool Assignment and from the Identity Pool list, select an identity pool for the deployment template. Click Next.
2. In the Bandwidth section, edit the Minimum Bandwidth (%) and the Maximum Bandwidth (%) of the associated NICs
and click Next.
NOTE: Bandwidth settings are only applicable to the partitioned NICs.
3. In the VLANs section (applicable only for the modular systems):
a. Select an appropriate NIC Teaming option.
b. Select the Propagate VLAN settings immediately check box, to propagate the changed VLAN settings on the
associated modular-system servers immediately without the need for a server reboot. Click View Details to view the
devices that would be affected.
NOTE:
● Propagate VLAN settings immediately is implemented only if the deployment template has been already
deployed.
● Before propagating the VLAN settings, ensure that the network profiles are already created for the modular
system servers in the fabric.
● If the Propagate VLAN settings immediately check box is selected, then a job named VLAN Propagation is
created to apply the changes. Status of the job can be checked on the Monitor > Jobs page.
c. Select the Use strict checking check box to match the VLANs with like characteristics. If unselected, only VLAN name
and QoS are used for matching.
NOTE: This option applies only to the modular-system sleds.
d. Make changes to the Untagged Network and Tagged Network attributes of the associated NICs as required.
4. Click Finish to apply the changes.
Deploy device deployment templates
You can deploy a deployment template that includes a set of configuration attributes to specific devices. Deploying a device
deployment template on the devices ensures that the devices are uniformly configured.
NOTE:
● To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary role-based user privileges and scope-based
operational access to the devices. See Role and scope based access control in OpenManage Enterprise on page 15.
● If a device manager is deploying templates, then only the target group(s) and devices that are in that device manager's
scope and which are capable of deployment are displayed.
Before you begin deploying a device deployment template, ensure that:
● You have either created a device deployment template or cloned a sample deployment template. See Create a deployment
template from a reference device on page 81.
● The target devices meet the requirements that are specified in Minimum system requirements for deploying OpenManage
Enterprise on page 20.
● The OpenManage Enterprise Advanced license is installed on the target devices.
CAUTION:
Ensure that only the appropriate devices are selected for deployment. After deploying a deployment
template on a repurpose and bare-metal device, it might not be possible to revert the device to its original
configuration.
