NOTE: Pseudo attributes are not displayed in system profile. For more information, see the Server Configuration XML

File document.

Before selecting the attributes other than the attributes that are selected by default, check the nature of attribute,

dependency, and other details.

If you select the attributes other than the attributes that are selected by default, the following message is displayed:

These attributes may affect other dependent attributes, or are destructive in nature, or dissolve server identity, or affect

security of the target servers.

NOTE: For 12th and 13th generation of PowerEdge servers, some of the attributes may not map dependency properly in

OMIVV. For example, Memory Operating Voltage component of BIOS is Read-only unless the system profile is set to

Custom in System BIOS Settings.

a. Expand each component to view the setting options such as Instance, Attribute Name, Value, Destructive,

Dependency, and Group.

If the dependency text is not available, a blank field is displayed.

NOTE: You can use the Search field to filter data specific to all the columns except Value.

b. It is mandatory to set the values for attributes marked with red exclamation mark. This option is available only for the

iDRAC enabled user with valid user name.

8. Click NEXT.

The Summary page displays information about the profile details and the attribute statistics of the system configurations.

The total number of attributes, total number of enabled attributes, and total number of destructive attributes are displayed

under the attribute statistics.
