Executive Summary
Modern datacenters require efficient and automated methods to configure
servers for use in a production environment. OpenManage Integration for
Microsoft System Center (OMIMSSC) integrates with the Microsoft System
Center suite of products and monitors the hardware components of
connected PowerEdge servers. It is delivered as a virtual machine that sets
up the OMIMSSC appliance.
The configuration from a server designated as a reference server can be
made into an Operational Template. This Operational Template will contain
configuration information about firmware, hardware, and operating system
components, and their attributes with default values set as current values
from the reference server. These values can be modified before applying this
template to different target servers that have identical hardware components
as that of the reference server. The Operational Template also contains
system specific attributes marked as Pool Value. Few of these attributes may
be selected by default in the Operational Template and may needed to be
changed before deploying it on a target server.
This whitepaper guides you to identify and modify the pool value attributes in
the Operational Template as needed to be configured on the target servers
for seamless deployment using Operational Templates.
