For information about conguring FlexAddress for servers, see Conguring FlexAddress for Chassis-Level Fabric and Slots Using
CMC Web Interface. To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise License.
Conguring Remote File Share
The Remote Virtual Media File Share feature maps a le from a share drive on the network to one or more servers through CMC to
deploy or update an operating system. When connected, the remote le is accessible similar to a le that you can access on a local
server. Two types of media are supported: oppy drives and CD/DVD drives.
To perform a remote le share operation (connect, disconnect, or deploy), you must have the Chassis Conguration Administrator
or Server Administrator privileges. To use this feature, you must have an Enterprise license.
To congure the remote le share:
1. In the left pane, click Server Overview → Setup → Remote File Share.
2. On the Deploy Remote File Share page, type appropriate data in the elds. For more information about the eld descriptions,
see the
Online Help.
3. To connect to a remote le share, click Connect. To connect a remote le share, you must provide the path, user name, and
password. A successful operation allows access to the media.
Click Disconnect to disconnect a previously-connected remote le share.
Click Deploy to deploy the media device.
NOTE: Before you click the Deploy button, make sure that you save all the working les, because this action restarts
the server.
When you click Deploy, the following tasks are executed:
• The remote le share is connected.
• The le is selected as the rst boot device for the servers.
• The server is restarted.
• Power is supplied to the server if the server is turned o.
Conguring Prole Settings Using Server Conguration Replication
The server congurations replicating feature allows you to apply all prole settings from a specied server to one or more servers.
Prole settings that can be replicated are those prole settings which can be modied and are intended to be replicated across
servers. The following three prole groups for servers are displayed and can be replicated:
• BIOS — This group includes only the BIOS settings of a server. These proles are generated from CMC for PowerEdge VRTX
version 1.00 and later.
• BIOS and Boot — This group includes the BIOS and the Boot settings of a server. These proles are generated from CMC for
PowerEdge VRTX version 1.00 and later.
• All Settings — This version includes all the settings of the server and components on that server. These proles are generated
from
– CMC for PowerEdge VRTX version 1.00 and later
– 12th generation servers with iDRAC7 1.00.00 or later and Lifecycle Controller 2 version 1.1 or later
– 13th generation servers with iDRAC8 with Lifecycle Controller 2.00.00.00 or later
The server congurations replication feature supports iDRAC7 and later servers. Earlier generation RAC servers are listed but are
grayed out on the main page, and are not enabled to use this feature.
