14 Deployment and Migration of Boot from SAN Configuration using Dell EMC OpenManage Enterprise version
3.3.1
3.5 Deploy the base system template
Deploying templates is the process of applying configuration settings to remote devices. In this step the captured
base system template along with the associated Identity pool is deployed on the selected identical targets. The
user can reserve the identities for the deployment and provide SAN boot target attribute values required to
connect to the storage array.
Once the template is deployed, the target servers can be associated with the storage array and boot to the
specified LUN successfully. The following steps need to be followed for deployment of a template on identical
target devices:
1. Go to the Deploy page by clicking Configuration > Deploy.
2. Select the created ‘base’ system template from the list and click on Deploy Template to activate the
Deploy Template wizard.
3. Select one or more identical target devices on the Target page. Click Next.
