Predefined Operational Templates
Predefined templates have all the configurations that are required to create Windows server HCI clusters or Windows Server
Software-Defined (WSSD). OMIMSSC supports creating clusters on AX-6515, AX-740XD, AX-640, RN740XD, RN740XD2, and
RN640, Windows server HCI Ready Node models along with their specific network adapters.
Table 10. List of predefined Operational Templates
Operational Template name Description
AX-6515_QLogic
This Operational Template is for Dell EMC HCI Solutions for
Microsoft Windows Server for models AX-6515
AX-6515_Mellanox
This Operational Template is for Dell EMC HCI Solutions for
Microsoft Windows Server for models AX-6515
AX-740xd_RN740xd_QLogic This Operational Template is for Dell EMC HCI Solutions
for Microsoft Windows Server for models AX-740xd and
RN740xd
AX-740xd_RN740xd_Mellanox This Operational Template is for Dell EMC HCI Solutions
for Microsoft Windows Server for models AX-740xd and
RN740xd
AX-640_RN640_Mellanox This Operational Template is for Dell EMC HCI Solutions for
Microsoft Windows Server for models AX-640 and RN640
AX-640_RN640_QLogic This Operational Template is for Dell EMC HCI Solutions for
Microsoft Windows Server for models AX-640 and RN640
RN440_QLogic This Operational Template is for Dell EMC HCI Solutions for
Microsoft Windows Server for models RN440
RN740xd2_Mellanox This Operational Template is for Dell EMC HCI Solutions for
Microsoft Windows Server for models RN740xd2
RN740xd2_QLogic This Operational Template is for Dell EMC HCI Solutions for
Microsoft Windows Server for models RN740xd2
Consider the following points before deploying an Operational Template:
● The predefined templates are available only for management systems running SCVMM 2016 and 2019.
● The predefined Windows server HCI template shows NIC card in slot 1. However, while deploying the Operational Template
the NIC configuration is applied on the right slot. And if there are multiple NIC cards on the device, all the NIC cards are
configured with the same configuration that is specified in the Operational Template.
About reference server configuration
A server configuration with a preferred boot sequence, BIOS, RAID settings, hardware configuration, firmware update
attributes, and operating system parameters that is ideally suited for an organization is called reference server configuration.
Discover a reference server and capture the reference server settings in an Operational Template, and replicate it across
different servers with same hardware configuration.
About reference Modular System configuration
A Modular System configuration with a preferred network configuration, user account, security, and alerts that is ideally suited
for an organization is called reference Modular System configuration or reference chassis.
Discover a reference Modular System and capture the reference Modular System settings in an Operational Template, and
replicate it across different Modular Systems of the same models.
