Adding devices to repurpose and bare-metal devices group
Adding devices to the Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices group is a prerequisite for deploying either a conguration template or a
network ISO image on those devices.
CAUTION: Ensure that only the appropriate devices are added to the repurpose and bare-metal devices group. After
deploying a conguration template on a repurpose and bare-metal device, it may not be possible to revert the device to
its original conguration.
NOTE: Servers that you want to add to the Repurpose and Bare Metal Device Group must have the Server Conguration
Management license installed. For more information, see OpenManage Essentials — Server Conguration Management
License.
To add devices to the repurpose and bare-metal devices group:
1. Click Deployment → Deployment Portal.
2. In the Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices tab, click Modify Devices.
The Modify Devices of the Repurpose and Bare Metal Device Group window is displayed.
3. From the All Applicable Devices tree, select the devices that you want to add to the Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices
group.
4. Click Finish.
The devices are listed in the Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices tab in the right pane, and in the Repurpose and Bare Metal
Devices group in the device tree.

Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices
Overview of bare-metal deployment
The steps that you must perform to deploy a device conguration template on target devices are as follows:
1. Create a device conguration template—Use the Create Template task in the Common Tasks pane to create a device
conguration template. You can choose to create the template from either a conguration le or a reference device.
2. Edit the device conguration template—Select the template from the Templates pane, and edit the desired conguration
attributes displayed in the right pane.
3. Deploy the device conguration template on target devices—Use the Deploy Template task in the Common Tasks pane to
select the template, target devices, edit device-specic attributes, and then deploy the conguration attributes. You can also
use the Setup Auto Deployment task to deploy a device conguration template on devices that you will be discovering later.
NOTE: If the hardware of the device from which the device conguration template was created and the hardware of the
deployment targets are identical, it enhances the possibility of the attributes being deployed successfully. If the hardware
is not entirely identical, the deployment task may not complete successfully. However, the attributes for the matching
components are deployed successfully.
