Creating a chassis deployment template from a chassis
You can create a chassis deployment template from a chassis that you have discovered along with the IOAs.
Before you create a chassis deployment template from a chassis, ensure that:
• The deployment le share is congured. For more information, see Conguring the Deployment File Share.
• The device from which you are creating a chassis template meets the requirements specied in Device Requirements for
Deployment and Compliance Tasks.
• The chassis and IOAs must be discovered using WS-MAN and SNMP protocols.
NOTE: The chassis template cannot be created if devices are discovered using SNMP protocol only.
To create a chassis deployment template from a chassis:
1. Click Deployment → Deployment Portal.
2. Perform one of the following:
• In the Common Tasks pane, click Create Template.
• In the Templates pane, right-click the Chassis Template and then click Create Template.
The Create Template window is displayed.
NOTE: If the deployment le share settings are not congured, a message stating that One or more settings
require configuring for this action
is displayed. If you click OK, the File Share Settings window is
displayed. After you congure the le share settings, the Create Template Wizard is displayed.
3. Type a Name for the template.
4. Select the device type (Chassis), and perform one of the following:
• Select a chassis device from the All Applicable Devices tree.
NOTE: Only the chassis with an Enterprise license and supported rmware version can be selected.
• Search for a chassis device by using the Search Devices box.
5. Under Execution Credentials, type the chassis credentials and IOA credentials(optional), and click Finish.
If the IOA Credentials are not provided, OpenManage Essentials creates only the chassis template and the IOA attributes are
not captured in the template.
