NOTE: Deploying the template with the changed Static IPv4 Address starts a new discovery task for the device.
For more information about the task details, see Task Status. The new Static IPv4 Address is added to the
discovery range under Manage → Discovery and Inventory → Discovery Ranges → All Ranges.
NOTE: If Static IPv4 Address is used in the deployment of a chassis template, then all the components in the
chassis are rediscovered after the deployment task is completed.
e. To edit the hostname of the IOA, enter the new hostname in the Value column of IOA hostname attribute.
NOTE: The IOA hostname is changed to the new hostname after the discovery task is successful. For more
information about the task details, see Task Status. The IOAs with the new host names can be viewed under
Manage → Devices → All Devices.
f. Edit or select the values in the Value column depending on your preference.
g. If you do not want to deploy a particular attribute in the template and want to retain the current attribute value on the
target device, clear the check box in the
Deploy column.
h. Click Save.
i. Click Next.
7. On the Options page:
a. Select Continue on warnings to continue with the deployment task even if the template is incompatible or shows warning
messages.
b. Click Next.
8. On the Set Schedule page:
a. Select either Run now, or click the calendar icon and select the date and time you want to run the task.
b. Under Execution Credentials, type the chassis credentials.
c. Under IOA Credentials, type the credentials that have the Administrator privileges on the IOA.
NOTE: Ensure all the target IOAs have the same credentials. If the credentials mismatch on any of the IOA, then
the deployment task fails for the particular IOA.
d. Click Next.
9. On the Summary page, review the information that you have provided, and then click Finish.
The Deploy Template warning is displayed.
10. If you want to continue the deployment, click Yes.
The Deploy Template task is created and run based on the schedule you have selected. You can double-click the task in Task
Execution History to view the task execution details.
Deploying IOA conguration template
The Deploy Template task allows you to deploy an IOA conguration template on a target device.
Before you begin deploying an IOA device conguration template, ensure that:
• The deployment le share is congured. For more information, see Conguring the Deployment File Share.
• The target devices are added to the Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices group or a compute pool. For more information, see
Adding Devices to the Repurpose and Bare Metal Devices Group.
• You have created a device conguration template from an IOA.
• The target devices meet the requirements specied in Device Requirements for Deployment and Compliance Tasks.
NOTE: Ensure that the IOA template that you want to import has not been edited after it was created. Editing an IOA
template, compromises the integrity of the template. Therefore, deploying the edited IOA template results in a failure.
CAUTION: Deploying a conguration template on a device may result in potentially destructive changes to the device
conguration including performance, connectivity, and ability to boot the device.
To deploy the IOA conguration template:
1. Click Deployment.
