Troubleshooting issues in hardware and OS deployment on servers monitored by OpenManage Essentials
54 Server Hardware Provisioning and OS Deployment by using Dell EMC OpenManage Essentials
22.5 Troubleshoot the auto-deploy templates
Whenever the Deploy Configuration to Undiscovered Devices task is executed, it searches for Service
Tags in the Auto Deployment list. The following situations can observed:
• There are no Service Tags in the Auto Deployment list. In this case, the task exits, and no entry is
created in the task execution history grid for that run.
• The task finds one or more Service Tags in the Auto Deployment list for devices that have not been
discovered by OME yet. In this case, a task execution history entry is created and it indicates why the
Service Tag was not processed.
• The task finds one or more Service Tags in the Auto Deployment list for devices that have been
discovered by OME. It creates tasks named Deploy Configuration to Undiscovered Devices - Task -
timestamp to deploy to those devices. In this case, an execution history entry is created and the entry
specifies which Service Tags were processed for deployment.
• If an error occurs in a task created for auto deployment to a device, to troubleshoot the error, see
Troubleshooting the file share.
