Auto Deploying Device Congurations
Setting Up Device Conguration Auto Deployment—Bare Metal Deployment
The Setup Auto Deployment task enables you to deploy a conguration template, which includes a set of conguration attributes, to
devices that you will discover at a later time. Deploying a device conguration template on the devices ensures that the devices are
uniformly congured.
Before you create a device conguration auto deployment task, ensure that:
• The deployment le share is congured. For more information, see Conguring the Deployment File Share.
• The auto deployment setting is enabled and congured. For more information, see Conguring Auto Deployment Settings.
• The Service Tag or node ID of each target device is available in a .csv le. The Service Tags or node IDs should be listed under
the title ‘ServiceTag’, ‘Service Tag’, or ‘Node ID’ in the .csv le.
NOTE: On devices which have multiple compute nodes (such as the PowerEdge FM120x4), all of the compute nodes
have the same Service Tag. Therefore, the node ID must be used to identify the specic compute node to use. In
the .csv le, you must include the node IDs of the specic compute nodes that you want to auto deploy.
• You have either created a device conguration template or cloned a sample template.
• The target devices meet the requirements specied in Device Requirements for Deployment and Compliance Tasks.
• The OpenManage Essentials — Server Conguration Management license is installed on all target servers. For more
information, see OpenManage Essentials — Server Conguration Management License.
CAUTION: Deploying a conguration template on a device may result in potentially destructive changes to the device
conguration including performance, connectivity, and ability to boot the device.
To auto deploy the conguration template on devices that will be discovered at a later time:
1. Click Deployment.
The Deployment Portal is displayed.
2. Perform one of the following:
• In the Common Tasks pane, click Setup Auto Deployment.
• Click Auto Deployment, and then click Add Devices.
The Setup Auto Deployment wizard is displayed.
3. On the Select Deploy Options page:
a. Under Deploy Target, click Bare Metal.
b. If you want to auto deploy a conguration template and then boot the device to an operating system ISO image, you can
select both the Deploy Template and Boot to Network ISO options. Separate tasks are created for each operation.
c. Click Next.
4. On the Select Template page:
a. Based on the target device type, click Server Template or Chassis Template.
b. Select the conguration template you want to deploy.
NOTE: Only conguration templates that you have either created or cloned are available for selection.
c. Click Next.
5. On the Import Service Tags/Node IDs page:
a. Click Import.
b. Browse and select the .csv le that includes the Service Tags or node IDs.
NOTE: You can only import valid Service Tags or node IDs that have not already been discovered.
c. Click Open.
The Import Summary is displayed.
