Deploy the template in stateless environment
13 Server Hardware Provisioning and OS Deployment by using Dell EMC OpenManage Essentials
6 Deploy the template in stateless environment
Example use case—You want to deploy and manage servers in a virtualized environment connected to a
storage area network. You want the configuration of one well-formatted server deployed to other servers, and
you want the servers to use virtual identities created from manageable virtual identity definitions.
To accomplish this use case:
1. Get the configuration from the device that is already configured and saved in OME as the template.
See Creating the template from the reference device.
2. Create the definitions of the identities you wish to deploy. This is accomplished in OME by creating a
“Virtual I/O pool”. See Creating Virtual I/O pools.
3. Create a deployment definition that describes what to deploy and what servers to deploy against. This
is accomplished in OME by creating a “Compute Pool”. See Creating compute pool.
4. Deploy the compute pool deployment definition to the target devices. See Deploying the compute
pool_How_to_deploy.
Note—Creating a template and deploying a template have requirements for the OME system and the target
devices.
