Create profiles
Profiles can be created using the existing deployment templates for deployment on existing target devices or can be reserved
for auto-deployment on the yet-to-be-discovered devices.
NOTE:
● Only users with OpenManage Enterprise Administrator or Device Manager privileges are allowed to perform the Profile
Management tasks. See Role and scope based access control in OpenManage Enterprise on page 15.
● Post upgrade to version 3.6.x, any profiles created by the AD/LDAP and OIDC (PingFederate or KeyCloak) device
managers from any of the prior OpenManage Enterprise releases are only assigned to the administrator. Hence, the
device managers must recreate the profiles post upgrade.
To create a profile from an existing deployment template:
1. Go to the Profiles page by clicking Configuration > Profiles.
2. Click Create to activate the Create Profiles wizard.
3. In the Template section, select the Template Type as either Server or Chassis and then select a deployment template in the
Select Template drop down list. Click Next.
4. In the Details page, modify the Name Prefix and provide a description in the Description box if needed. In the Profile
Count box, enter the number of profiles. Click Next.
5. Optionally, in the Boot to Network ISO page, select the Boot to Network ISO check box and specify the full ISO path,
the file share location, and choose a Time to Attach ISO option to set the number of hours the network ISO file will remain
mapped to the target device(s).
6. Click Finish.
Profiles are created based on the deployment template name and the count provided. These profiles are listed on the Profiles
page.
