24 Managing Modular Infrastructure by using OpenManage Essentials (OME)
Note—The Service Tags remain in the Auto Deployment tab until they are discovered and inventoried in OME
and the ‘Deploy Configuration to Undiscovered Devices’ task creates a deploy task for the device with the
Service Tag. The ‘Deploy Configuration to Undiscovered Devices’ task checks periodically if the devices are
discovered and inventoried in OME. Once the discovery and inventory is complete and a deploy task is
created, the devices will move to the Repurpose and Bare-metal Devices group and the auto deployment
entry will be deleted. Deploy configuration tasks are created to deploy the templates that were selected. The
tasks created for the Service Tag entries can be viewed under the tasks tab in the deployment portal. Double-
click the task to view the task details. Task execution history entries can be found in the task execution history
grid. Double-click the task execution history entry to view the task execution history details.
7.2.3 Modify the Auto Deployment settings
By default, the Deploy Configuration to Undiscovered Devices task runs after every 60 minutes. When this
task runs, it checks if any of the auto deployment Service Tags were discovered. If the device matching an
auto deployment Service Tag is discovered, a deploy template task is automatically created and the specified
template is deployed to that device.
To modify the execution interval for the Deploy Configuration to Undiscovered Devices task or to enable or
disable it:
1. Select Deployment Settings under Settings.
2. Select or clear the Enable auto deployment for recently discovered devices check box to enable
or disable the Deploy Configuration to Undiscovered Devices task respectively.
Note—If the task is disabled, the Service Tags in the Auto Deployment grid will not be deployed
automatically.
3. In the Run auto deployment every box, type or select the minutes you want the ‘Deploy
Configuration to Undiscovered Devices’ task to run.
