● 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 templates
You can deploy a template that includes a set of configuration attributes to specific devices. Deploying a device configuration
template on the devices ensures that the devices are uniformly configured.
NOTE: To perform any tasks on OpenManage Enterprise, you must have necessary user privileges. See Role-based
OpenManage Enterprise user privileges on page 14.
Before you begin deploying a device deployment template, ensure that:
● You have either created a device deployment template or cloned a sample template. See Create a template from a reference
device on page 61.
● The target devices meet the requirements that are specified in Minimum system requirements for deploying OpenManage
Enterprise on page 18.
● 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 configuration
template on a repurpose and bare-metal device, it might not be possible to revert the device to its original
configuration.
NOTE: During deployment of an MX7000 chassis template:
● The target device can only be the lead MX7000 chassis.
● If an MX7000 chassis is removed from group, it has to be rediscovered in OpenManage Enterprise.
● Users on the MX7000 chassis are replaced by the users who are configured in the template.
● Imported Active Directory settings are replaced with the values in chassis profile.
1. From the list of templates on the Configuration > Templates page, select the check box corresponding to the template
you want to deploy, and then click Deploy Template.
2. In the Deploy Template: <template_name> dialog box, under Target:
a. Click Select, and then select device(s) in the Job Target dialog box. See Selecting target devices and device groups.
b. During deployment of the device template, the configuration changes might require a forceful reboot of the server. If you
do not wish to reboot the server, select the Do not forcefully reboot the host OS option.
A graceful reboot of the server is attempted when the Do not forcefully reboot the host OS option is selected. If the
reboot fails, you must rerun the template deployment task.
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 is displayed only if the selected target devices are modular system sleds.
d. Click Next.
3. If the target device is a server, in the Boot to Network ISO section:
a. Select the Boot to Network ISO check box.
b. Select either CIFS or NFS as the share type, and then enter information in the fields such as ISO image file path and
share location where the ISO image file is stored.
c. Select the Time to Attach ISO dropdown menu options to set the number of hours the network ISO file will remain
mapped to the target device(s). By default, this value is set as four hours.
d. Click Next.
4. In the iDRAC Management IP section, change the target device IP settings if required, and then click Next.
