Understanding How To Congure A Hardware Prole
To congure server hardware settings, you must create a hardware prole. A hardware prole is a conguration template you can
apply to newly-discovered infrastructure components and it requires the following information:
Boot Order The boot order is the boot device sequence and hard drive sequence, which you can edit only if the boot
mode is set to BIOS.
BIOS Settings The BIOS settings include: memory, processor, SATA, integrated devices, serial communications, embedded
server management, power management, system security, and miscellaneous settings.
iDRAC Settings iDRAC settings include: Network, user list, and user conguration (IPMI/iDRAC privileges).
NOTE: For systems that have iDRAC Express, the iDRAC conguration cannot be extracted;
therefore, the server should not be used as a reference server. If it is used as a target system, then
no iDRAC conguration from the reference server is applied.
RAID Conguration The RAID conguration displays the current RAID topology on the reference server at the time the hardware
prole was extracted.
NOTE: There are two RAID conguration options congured in the Hardware Prole:
• Apply RAID1 + create a dedicated hot spare, applicable. Use this option if you want to apply default
RAID conguration settings to the target server. The RAID conguration task defaults to RAID1 on
the rst two drives of the integrated controller that are RAID1 capable. Additionally, a dedicated
hot-spare for the RAID1 array is created if a candidate drive meeting the criteria exists
• Clone RAID conguration from the reference Server as shown below. Use this option if you want to
clone the reference server setting. See Creating A New Hardware Prole.
NOTE: The OpenManage Integration for VMware vCenter enables certain BIOS settings under the
Processor group in the BIOS on all deployed servers, regardless of the settings on the reference
server. Before using a reference server to create a new hardware prole, it must have the Collect
System Inventory On Reboot (CSIOR) setting enabled and be rebooted to provide accurate
inventory and conguration information.

Creating A New Hardware Prole
To create a new hardware prole:
1. In the Dell Management Center, select Deployment → Deployment Templates → Hardware Proles.
2. Click Create New.
3. In the New Hardware Prole page, do the following:
