Adding Devices to the Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices Group
Adding devices to the Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices group is a prerequisite for deploying either a conguration template or a
network ISO image on those devices.
CAUTION: Ensure that only the appropriate devices are added to the repurpose and bare metal devices group. After
deploying a conguration template on a repurpose and bare metal device, it may not be possible to revert the device to
its original conguration.
NOTE: Servers that you want to add to the Repurpose and Bare Metal Device Group must have the OpenManage
Essentials — Server Conguration Management License installed. For more information, see OpenManage Essentials —
Server Conguration Management License.
To add devices to the Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices group:
1.
Click Deployment → Deployment Portal.
2. In the Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices tab, click Modify Devices.
The Modify Devices of the Repurpose and Bare Metal Device Group window is displayed.
3. From the All Applicable Devices tree, select the devices that you want to add to the Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices
group.

Creating a Device Deployment Template
The Create Template task creates a device deployment template that includes the attributes of a server, chassis, or an IOA. Using
the device deployment template, you can:
• Deploy the conguration on another server, chassis, or an IOA.
• Create a chassis infrastructure conguration template.
• Verify the compliance of either a server or chassis to the conguration baseline.
NOTE: Compliance tasks are not supported for IOA templates.
You can create a device deployment template from:
• A device conguration le.
• A server or chassis that you have discovered.
