5 Managing Modular Infrastructure by using OpenManage Essentials (OME) | Document ID
Executive summary
OME 2.5 supports "Simplified modular infrastructure configuration management", where MX Chassis
configurations are managed similar to CMC.
OME 2.3 and later versions of OME supports "Simplified modular infrastructure configuration management",
where the chassis and IOA configurations are managed together. The Chassis Infrastructure templates
contain both the CMC template and all the supported IOA templates on the Chassis.
OME simplifies the configuration compliance features by separating the deployment templates and
configuration baselines. The OME introduces new features to create configuration baselines, associate the
devices to configuration baselines, and make the devices compliant to the associated baselines.
This technical white paper discusses about:
 Creating the Chassis Infrastructure templates and MX Chassis templates
 Deploying the Chassis Infrastructure template and MX Chassis template
 Creating the configuration baselines
 Associating the devices to configuration baselines
 Making the devices compliant to associated baselines by using the Configuration Baseline
feature
 Best practices
 Troubleshooting information
