Users Guide

• All Settings — This version includes all the settings of the server and components on that server. These

profiles are generated from CMC for PowerEdge VRTX version 1.00 and later and 12G servers with

iDRAC7 and Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 or greater.

The server configurations replication feature supports iDRAC7 servers. Earlier generation RAC servers are

listed but are grayed out on the main page, and are not enabled to use this feature.

To use the server configurations replication feature:

• iDRAC must have the minimum version that is required. iDRAC7 servers require version 1.00.00.

• Server must be powered on.

Server versions and profile compatibilities:

• iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 can accept any profile version.

• iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.0 only accept BIOS or BIOS and Boot profiles.

• Saving a profile from a server iDRAC7 with Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 results in a All Settings

profile.

You can:

• View profile settings on a server or from a saved profile.

• Save a profile from a server.

• Apply a profile to other servers.

• Import stored profiles from a remote file share.

• Edit the profile name and description.

• Export stored profiles to a remote file share.

• Delete stored profiles.

• Deploy selected profiles to the target devices using Quick Deploy option.

• Display the log activity for recent server profile tasks.

Accessing Server Profiles Page

You can add, manage, and apply server profiles to one or more servers using the Server Profiles page.

To access the Server Profiles page using the CMC web interface, in the left pane, go to Chassis Overview

→ Server Overview. Click Setup → Profiles. The Server Profiles page is displayed.

Adding or Saving Profile

Before cloning the properties of a server, first capture the properties to a stored profile. Create a stored

profile and provide a name and optional description for each profile. You can save a maximum of 16

stored profiles on the CMC nonvolatile extended storage media.

Removing or disabling the nonvolatile extended storage media prevents access to stored profile and

disables the Server Cloning feature.

To add or save a profile:

1. Go to the Server Profiles page. In the Server Profiles section, select the server from whose settings

you want to generate the profile, and then click Save Profile.

The Save server Profile section is displayed.

2. In the Profile Name and Description fields, enter the profile name and description (optional), and

click

Save Profile.
