The request does not include any reserved identities, as they are already marked as reserved in the
database. It does include the following attributes:
➢ iDRAC Management attributes
The iDRAC Management IP page of the Deploy Template wizard enables you to specify a required IP
addressing method. One of the following may be selected: “Don’t change IP settings”, “Set as DHCP”, or
“Set static IP for each device”. One or more of the following attributes could be set for iDRAC
management, depending on the option chosen:
IPv4.1#Enable
IPv4.1#DHCPEnable
IPv6.1#Enable
IPv6.1#AutoConfig
IPv4Static.1#Address
IPv4Static.1#Netmask
IPv4Static.1#Gateway
IPv6Static.1#Gateway
In the example above, the “Don’t change IP settings” option was selected. Therefore, no attribute
changes were applicable. The payload includes the iDRAC Management attributes, but sets IsIgnored
to true for each one, indicating that the attribute should not be deployed to target devices.
➢ Boot Option attributes and values
In the example above, the template did not have any applicable boot option attributes. Therefore, the
attributes shown are all related to iDRAC Management. Because to space limitation, only 3 of those attributes
were included.
If the request is successful, the reply status is “200 OK” and the reply value is the ID of the task created to
deploy the template to the target devices. The task will execute in the background. The preceding request
returned the following reply:
The task ID can be used to get the task’s status.
