● Discover a reference server by using the Discovery feature. For information about discovering servers, see Discovering
servers using manual discovery.
● Discover a Modular System by using the Discovery feature. For information about discovering Modular Systems, see
Discovering Modular System using manual discovery.
● If you are not using the default update source, and then create an update source. For more information, see Creating update
source.
● For SCCM users:
○ Create a task sequence. For more information, see Creating task sequence.
○ For non-Windows operating system deployment, have a device type credential profile. For more information, see Creating
credential profile.
●
For SCVMM users:
○ Create a hypervisor profile. For information about creating hypervisor profile, see Creating hypervisor profile.
○ For Windows deployment, have a device type credential profile. For more information, see Creating credential profile.
1. In OMIMSSC, do any of the following to open an Operational Template:
● In the OMIMSSC dashboard, click Create Operational Template.
● In the navigation pane, click Profiles > Operational Template, and then click Create.
The Operational Template wizard is displayed.
2. Click Create.
The Operational Template wizard is displayed.
3. Enter a name and description for the template.
4. Select the type of device, and enter the IP address of reference device, and then click Next.
NOTE: You can capture the configuration of reference server with iDRAC 2.0 and later.
5. In Device Components, click a component to view the available attributes and their values.
The components are as follows:
● Firmware update
● Hardware components, which are RAID, NIC, and BIOS.
NOTE:
In iDRAC Embedded 1 component, following are the privileges and their values for User Admin Privilege
attribute.
Table 11. Privilege value table

● Operating system—select either Windows, or ESXi, or RHEL.
6. Use the horizontal scroll bar to locate a component. Select the component, expand a group, and then edit its attribute
values. Use the vertical scroll bar to edit a groups and attributes of a component.
7. Select the check box against each component, because, the configurations of selected components are applied on the
managed device, when the Operational Template is applied. However, all the configurations from the reference device are
captured and saved in the template.
