CMC communicates with the LC to get the available server profile settings and store them as a

named profile.

A progress indicator indicates that the Save operation is in progress. After the action is complete, a

message, "Operation Successful" is displayed.

NOTE: The process to gather the settings runs in the background. Hence, it may take some

time before the new profile is displayed. If the new profile is not displayed, check the profile log

for errors.

Applying profile

Server cloning is possible only when server profiles are available as stored profiles in the nonvolatile

media on the CMC or stored on the remote share. To initiate a server cloning operation, you can apply a

stored profile to one or more servers.

The operation status, slot number, slot name, and model name is displayed for each server in the Apply

Profile table.

NOTE: If a server does not support Lifecycle Controller or the chassis is turned off, you cannot apply

a profile to the server.

To apply a profile to one or more servers:

1. Go to the Server Profiles page. In the Save and Apply Profiles section, select the server or servers for

which you want to apply the selected profile.

The Select Profile drop-down menu gets enabled.

NOTE: The Select Profile drop-down menu displays all available profiles and sorted by type,

including those that are on the repository and SD card.

2. From the Select Profile drop-down menu, select the profile that you want to apply.

The Apply Profile option gets enabled.

3. Click Apply Profile.
