Deploy the template to a bare-metal device
16 Server Hardware Provisioning and OS Deployment by using Dell EMC OpenManage Essentials
9 Deploy the template to a bare-metal device
Example use case—based on your data center’s requirements, you configure all the settings of one server.
You have a new bare-metal device or device you want to repurpose. You want to copy all of the settings of
the configured device and apply them to bare-metal/repurpose device.
To accomplish this use case:
1. Get the configuration from the device that is already configured and save it in OME as a template.
See Creating the template from the reference device.
2. Add the target device (the bare-metal device) to the “Repurpose and Bare-metal” device group. See
Adding devices to the “Repurpose and Bare-metal” device group.
3. Deploy the template to the target device. See Deploying the template.
Note: Creating a template and deploying a template have requirements for the OME system and for the target
devices.
