22 Managing Modular Infrastructure by using OpenManage Essentials (OME)
7 Auto-deploy configuration templates
Auto deploying the templates applies to all the attribute values of the templates to the device, after it is
discovered. To add auto-deploy entries for devices that have not been discovered by OME, a list of Service
Tags for the target devices must be provided. To auto-deploy the template, you must first create the template.
See Create Chassis Infrastructure Template from a Reference Chassis by using IOA Devices or MX Chassis
Template from a Reference MX Chassis.
Note—Auto deploy is only for devices that have not been discovered by OME. To deploy to devices
discovered by OME, see Deploying Template to Bare Metal Devices.
7.1 Auto-deploy requirements
In order to add auto deployment entries, the following requirements must be satisfied:
 Must have the template to deploy. See Create Chassis Infrastructure Template from a Reference
Chassis by using IOA Devices or MX Chassis Template from a Reference MX Chassis.
 Must satisfy all device configuration requirements of target device. See Target Device Requirements.
 Target Service Tags cannot be matched with a Service Tag of the discovered device.
 A CSV file with the Service Tags. See Create a Service Tag CSV File.
7.2 Set up Auto Deploy of the template
This section describes how to set up the auto deployment of the template against Service Tags. Also,
describes how to create and format the auto deployment CSV file, and the auto deployment wizard.
