20 Managing Modular Infrastructure by using OpenManage Essentials (OME)
Note—These are the attributes, such as ‘StaticGateway’, that are not included in the templates because they
do not necessarily apply to all target devices. For more details, see Editing the Device Specific Attributes
of Deploy Template Task.
8. Click Next.
9. To continue the deployment when the template is incompatible with the target devices, on the
Options page, select Continue on warnings.
10. Click Next.
11. Set the schedule when the deploy template task runs. Run now will run the task when the wizard is
closed. Run at will run the task on the selected future time.
12. Type the credentials for target devices (CMC and IOAs, or MX Chassis). The credentials must be
valid for all target devices and must have the Operator or Administrator privileges on iDRAC.
13. If the Chassis Infrastructure template contains only the CMC Device Template, type only the CMC
credentials.
Note—The credentials must be valid for all target devices (CMC and IOAs, or MX Chassis), and have
Administrator privileges.
14. Click Next.
15. Review the task in Summary and click Finish.
16. Review the message. The deploy action can be destructive. It is important to review and understand
the template you are deploying.
Note—While deploying MX Chassis template with RemoteSystemLog and SNMPAlerts group, all the
attributes of these groups should be sent.
6.3.2 Edit the device-specific attributes of the Deploy Template task
Device specific attributes are attributes, such as ‘StaticGateway’, that are not included in templates because
they do not necessarily apply to all target devices. Editing and deploying device specific attributes is optional
because a device may already have the device specific attributes configured or the attributes may not be
applicable to that specific device. If the template being deployed has device specific attributes, the device
specific attributes will appear in the Edit Attributes page of the deploy wizard. The Edit Attributes page lists
the target CMC devices of the chassis on the left side and displays the device specific attributes for the
selected device in the right side grid. The IOA device specific attributes such as IOA host name appears
under the sections named by their IOA names (such as A1, A2, B1, B2, C1, and C2).
Note—No device specific attributes are available for MX Chassis template during deployment.
To edit the attributes:
1. In the left pane, select a device.
2. Click Deploy on the attributes that you want to deploy to that device.
3. Edit the Value of each checked attribute.
4. Click Save.
5. Repeat for each device.
