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. To initiate a server cloning operation, you can apply a stored profile to one or more

servers.

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

apply a profile to the server.

To apply a profile to one or more server(s):

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.

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.

A warning message is displayed that applying a new server profile overwrites the current settings and

also reboots the selected servers. You are prompted to confirm if you want to continue the

operation.

NOTE: To perform server cloning operations on servers, the CSIOR option must be enabled for

the servers. If CSIOR option is disabled, a warning message is displayed that CSIOR is not

enabled for the servers. To complete the blade cloning operation, make sure to enable CSIOR

option on the servers .

4. Click OK to apply the profile to the selected server.

The selected profile is applied to the server(s) and the server(s) may be rebooted immediately, if

necessary. For more information, see the CMC Online Help.
